What is your opinion?
Kinda weird
"I think this is a good story, however found a few mistakes, but then a budding writer is entitled I presume. It made me want to keep reading and that is the idea of the story, Would like to see more from this author. Am I right to assume that, by the way the story ends, that Malcolm may have snatched the wrong guy? Fran"
Every Villain Thinks He's the Hero
"I love when we get to see a story from a different perspective, and "Malcolm" is definitely one of those! We see inside the head of a man who feels wronged, and we watch him decide what to do, think over the options and settle on the ones that most of us would not think are the right choice. Yet the way he thinks through it, you almost understand where he's coming from, and you keep reading with a morbid fascination to see what will happen next. It's a fairly short read but an interesting one, and I would definitely recommend it if you have some spare time! I only have a few suggestions to the author. I found some spelling mistakes here and there (check the opening paragraphs, where "is" should be "his"), and one instance where a sentence seems to have been left unfinished and didn't completely make sense. Also, I have to admit, the extra bit at the end of the story left me confused. To be perfectly honest, I couldn't follow what was going on. Why was the victim back again? Or was that really not him and was someone else? Or were we seeing the scene being "replayed" in a slightly different way? Personally I feel the story was strong enough without it, unless you have a good reason for it and want to edit it to make it clearer. Either way, good work overall! I would be willing to read more from this author again."
Super creepy!
"I loved this. The bad guy never really knows that he is the bad guy. In fact, he thinks that he is doing the right thing. This story is a perfect portrayal of that concept. I loved the character that you created through this. It kept me engaged throughout the entire story, and the writing style was simple and evocative. I really enjoyed it! I didn't really understand the ending though. I wasn't sure if he killed the wrong man or if his wife had already moved on to another one. That just needs a little clarification, I think. Well done! Good luck in the contest!"
