Don’t: Think we will care about your pg 1 bloodbath because it’s so out there and extreme. WE DON’T KNOW THESE CHARACTERS. There is NO CONTEXT therefore IT IS MEANINGLESS which makes it BORING

You want a nice hearty handshake from a story’s first page, not a naked stranger’s entrails slapping across your glasses. Again.
