Hey, it's Storyworthy. Today on the show, comedy writer Mike Sacks talks about life and a memory from high school that won't go away.

He invited me to a party where I had grown up and I was going to go, but the last minute didn't.

Came into work the next day and the manager pulled me aside and said, did you hear about Doug? I said, no. He said

he was at a party and the host of the party was treating his girlfriend badly. So Doug went into

a shotgun and shot him all in the back.

So it was a triple murder and it just haunted me because I was almost at this party.
