This should have been marked with a violent content warning.

This kind of thing can raise bad memories in others, and it is not fair to them when they start reading and unexpectedly come across it.

noir-inspired is not clear enough.

I didn't think I would like this as much as I did. Your description of HIM was terrifying, even though you used few words. The reason for this mayhem He's created over a job is good writing. The only thing I did not like is the ending. I wanted more. My brain is scrambling trying to give your story a proper ending. I found no spag and it was good reading.

Hi Jim! This is a different one for you. Inside the mind of a killer, and what drove him over the edge. Quite a cat and mouse game with the cat chalking up the mice.

Ver engaging,
Rhonda

Goodness me! I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect the ending. Great suspense and tension building throughout. I was on the edge of my seat!

Psychological thriller is a favorite of mine! I was fully enthralled to the No-relief ending!

You did some tense mixing, mostly in the beginning:

He *walked* slowly to the point that he stared, nearly touching your face.
He *turns* the gun to your head.

Thanks, I enjoyed it!

"Then give me them. Plenty of it!" I wonder if it should be.... "give them to me. Plenty of it!"

Excellent thriller, vicious and suspenseful. The plot is intriguing and the characters are well developed. Well done, Jim.

I read your profile, I am sorry for your loss, I know how it is.
I also read the date you joined fanstory, you are fairly new to the site. Let me know if I can help.

We share the love of movies, but my favorites are horror.

My goodness. I was not expecting that when I started, but I kept reading to see if they could come through this somehow. Horrific and evil man with no conscience, and his payback is extreme, but some people, once they start on a course of revenge, they can't stop. It was well-written, and very confronting with the "you" addressing the reader.

Goodness this is an intense roller coaster ride. I feel like I just got off the Corkscrew!

Great writing.

He stops in mid motion. (Possible hyphen here)

You are a man of many talents as it would seem you can cover many genres, Jim!

Great read!

First of all, you really need to put a "violence" warning on this, as it's pretty graphic and unyielding. Although suspenseful and well written, I thought it was a little over the top, but that's me. Some here will eat it up, I'm sure.

That closet is getting pretty full.
