The confrontation is very real and authentic. <BR/>The way he lures them to a pre planned place for their execution is a bit confusing on third read but the essential meat is strong enough not to notice on first read.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124189702947794859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-52062577282431637442009-02-05T21:42:00.000+00:002009-02-05T21:42:00.000+00:00Cheers, mate.Just a pointer, having read through y...Cheers, mate.<BR/>Just a pointer, having read through your comments. In case you didn't realise, he didn't use the baton to kill 'em; he used the Glock handgun. And I know what you mean re' the threat of violence enhancing suspense/tension. It's just, he's formidable character and I wanted to introduce him with a bang...literally!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913040012695421077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-6469388872106083552009-02-02T15:08:00.000+00:002009-02-02T15:08:00.000+00:00ahhhhhhhhhh...i see...ex-para makes sense...i was ...ahhhhhhhhhh...i see...ex-para makes sense...i was thinking he was a good-guy gone bad etc... look forward to the novel mate.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147476922079204965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-35189401153157437332009-02-02T14:58:00.000+00:002009-02-02T14:58:00.000+00:00Thanks for the comments, Amit.I'll digest your poi...Thanks for the comments, Amit.<BR/>I'll digest your points, but the fact is that The Hoodie Hunter is a ex-para and IS prolific. Plus, he wanted them all dead, hence the Glock. I didn't want to fully explain his motivation either as this was just an intro' to the characters in my 'book.' Maybe it is somewhat extreme to portray this (5 murders) in a short, but in the ongoing novel he has a hit-list of 25!!! <BR/>Ps. Also in the main story, he does have a little more time to toy with his prey, like a cat with a sparrow!<BR/>Thanks again,<BR/>ColAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913040012695421077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-88096139007223779522009-02-02T14:20:00.000+00:002009-02-02T14:20:00.000+00:00Hey Col, i loved the start of the story and the ap...Hey Col, i loved the start of the story and the approach to the gang in the subway. Very atmospheric and descriptive. I liked the chase to the alleyway...however, (isnt there always a however), i got a bit lost amongst all the fighting. The power and fear of the hoodie hunter was a little diluted by the multiple deaths (and a little unrealistic)...too many to taken out with just a batton. In my (humble) opinion, i would have loved him to isolate big-un...make the others watch as he fucked him over good and proper...suggested violence and pain always makes me more terrified than the act itself. Make the others watch, maybe even describe through them...as he takes big-un apart.<BR/>But great short..and great concept...look forward to more about the dynamic between him and Jack!
