Terrific! Very thought provoking. We could be closer to this than we realize.
Clever. It started out like a Micky Spillane novel with mystery, and curt writing. I liked the unexpected twist.

i agree. that was a nice twist. you kept the phrasing tight and very "street-like." good job.

Great job with the twist! I really didn't expect that.

The pacing of the last paragraph was a bit of a fizzle for me, though--one paragraph of "telling" in a story that had been all "showing".

Superb at capturing the black mood.

Nice work bringing in the unexpected. Nice job in making me feel the "black mood."

This was interesting. Very shady and dangerous.

Really enjoyed reading this and found myself giving thanks for the Bibles in my home, and the freedom to read them. The surprise ending was fantastic.
