I don't think it works in real life so fiction is a good place to cast those fantasies to see what our moral bait catches in those muddied waters.<br /><br />Good pace, just enough information delivered at just the right time. Great pay off at the end.<br /><br />If you have thought about developing this into a longer piece have you considered writing it from the POV of the man trapped inside the boot of the car? I think that would make an interesting angle for this story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760596809720075421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-3752634329346703352012-09-06T14:28:35.060+01:002012-09-06T14:28:35.060+01:00Thanks very much Sean, I appreciate it.

Lacking that belief, we who are wronged must seek our own revenge and this story offers a satisfying example.

Particularly liked the way you alternate between his thoughts and the action in a slow build, until realisation strikes the reader.<br /><br />And, for what it's worth, I have similar notions that the real hell is here. The key is to try to avoid it as much as possible until it's our time to leave...<br /><br />Do come again, bud! ;-)<br /><br />Regards,<br />ColAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913040012695421077noreply@blogger.com
