A very good story well told. There's a nice twist at the end to bring readers back. I hope you plan on continuing the story and it's not just a one scene piece. Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written story a mysterious murder and a masked man got killed by a woman with a wig. Both seem to be disguised and not who.they really are. No the murderer must be found.

This played out like a great detective story. You disguised the fact that it was a female well, until the end. I enjoyed reading this contest entry. Best wishes in the contest.

If this well-written story is a possible first chapter of a new book, then I recommend you continue it in future posts, as I like the characters, plausible dialog, and plot so far. Good luck in the contest.

A clever idea for this contest. Probably closer to the truth than what we realize. It's well written with a good flow that keeps the reader interested. Makes for an excellent addition to contest, and good luck.

Nice little entry. There's a lot packed into those 500 words. I did comb the work for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. I didn't notice any. The flow was crisp and the narration had an air of authenticity.

I learned a new word: moldering

The end is ambiguous. To me, it suggests this was less of a mob hit and most likely a disgruntled consort/escort. This story leaves this reader with a want for more. Good luck in the voting booth.

Hi there,

nice piece here. generally ell written and the dialogue pushes things forward nicely.

"Hmmm . . . ," he said - you don't need the comma when using the ellipsis.

and finger- printed.- fingerprinted can be one word here.

I know it's difficult given the word counts and such like but a conclusion would have been more satisfying.

All the best

    Thank you, GMG, for sharing ?Vegas Mayhem? and for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. Having only 500 words to work with makes a clear resolution of the story?s conflict impossible, but I thought this cliffhanger might segue into a follow-up story.
