This chapter or story really hit home for me. I was a battered child and wife, but was able to overcome my hardship. We are dealt things in life and for sure there is dysfunction all around us. It was a beautiful read and I look forward to more of your work. Congratulations on your win.
Warm Regards, CC

Hi. Lance. Congratulations on one whale of a good story. This is well written from the very first imagery-laden paragraph to the last. Bravo! I wish I had six stars left to give you...You deserve it for lines like these:
"But, Tracy had let him in, and now they were stuck with each other in the worst possible way. It only took moments, before Frank pulled his eyes away from his wife. He knew what he did. He felt it each day he walked passed Jessica's closed room. He hid it deep inside when they attended the press conference. When he wasn't drinking that scene played out over and over again, like a never ending rerun"
Happy Thanksgiving...Bob

Lancelot, thank you so much for this story. It is well worth winning the contest. It's a story we've seen in the headlines, yet, it's the rest of the story that's kept well hidden deep within those involved. I got teary eyed at the end for the peace of both Tracy and Jessica.

Certainly bittersweet. Justice, but never a happy ending to a tragic story. Well written piece that has good description and flowing conversation. Makes one wonder how many missing children are actually children murdered by a parent or relative but the family's keeping quiet about it. I bet there's been more than one or two. Well done.

Congratulations on your contest win!
Barely containing its hatred for her, the cheap clock - add comma
You set the stage and create tone well in your opening
came on with a snap, causing her to raise - add comma
looking into her eye's - drop the apostrophe
You're just a shiftless, lazy drunk, and if - add comma
You work back story in effectively
Not wanting to stir suspicion, he - add comma
A very eerie, character-driven story about the power of guilt
I love the ending where she literally passes the guilt along to her sheriff lover by sharing the secret with him

Comment from watergirl
This is an interesting story about crimes and drunks and love. You write in an easy to read fashion. It is easy to imagine this horrible man and how unpleasant it is to be near him. I shudder. A question mark after the deputies' words "attack someone." I think would help.

This is an incredible story. I was engrossed in this well written story to the end. Was it Tracy who got rid of her daughter or was it her drunken husband? Did she avenge her daughter's death by shooting her husband?
