I Killed Seven People

I accidentally killed seven people. I put a rag into a new water heater exhaust to keep debris out and installed it in a rental. I get a call a week later; there’s been an accident. I show up, and there’s a ton of ems and police. They ask me where the gas shutoff is, and I go down to shut the gas off and see the end of the rag I forgot sticking out of the top of the heater. I ripped the rag out, shut the gas off, and went upstairs only to be told all the tenants were DEAD. I drink all day now and sleep. It’s killing me inside every single day, but if I say anything, my family is ruined; we have a bunch of rental properties, and we’d be shut down.
