was really happening and he survived, he would go into the criminal justice system and be executed, and I really couldn't bear to lose him twice. I gave the hardest prayer I ever made, that he would kill himself, because then at least I would know he wanted to die and wouldn't be left with all the questions I'd have if he got caught by a police bullet. Maybe I was right, but I've spent so many hours regretting that prayer: I wished for my son to kill himself and he did." The Klebolds still live in Littleton, Colorado, in the same house they lived in back in 1999. In fact, when Solomon traveled to interview them for the book, he slept in Dylan's old bedroom. In speaking to the Klebolds he found them very open, a stark contrast to the other parents interviewed for the crime chapter. Tom Klebold said, "We are able to be open and honest about those things because our son is dead. We can't hope for him to do something else, something better. You can tell a story a whole lot better when you know its ending." If anything, the Klebolds' testimony in this book proves that the power of parental love overcomes the unimaginable. When asked what they would say to Dylan if they could speak to him now, Tom says, "I'd ask him what the hell he was thinking and what the hell he thought he was doing!" Sue's answer is a revelation.
