I think you found your genre, Janilou. Well done. The ending was real good, I thought. You had me hook, line and sinker. Cliche. Yes, but it's the facts.

You are such a good writer. I think you will do real well with this one. A twist is always a good turn in a story and you certainly provide that. Best wishes in the contest. I had fun reading this and waited for the 'going out in a blaze'.

I do believe I've told you this already but in case I haven't...you have a talent with this stuff. I enjoyed this as much as the last I've read by you. The flow, imagery and every other aspect fell into place wonderfully and didn't once reveal any flaw. I thank you for sharing. Please, take care.

As I read the story, I could tell you enjoyed writing it. I enjoyed reading it. Even though it was about it murder trial, it was cute and to the point. Your characters were well developed, as was the descriptions. Once in a while the present tense through me. I used to reading everything in past tense.

Wow that was a very complexed story. Not quite that easy to follow.The ending was very well thought out. I am sure it would make good viewing should some producer run with the idea.Albert

Hi. Good thinking and well managed in such a short. I feel that later you could expand this into a Novella if you are interested. There are openings here for further content for sure. Good luck in the contest and thanks for a good read. Rebecca

Brilliant story. It held my attention all the way through and I think the final twist in the tale (Not a typo!) is a great trick. You do seem to specialise in the revenge of the wronged. Very well done.

I did enjoy it. I think you did a very good job within the contest requirements. I was entertained by the twin and the witness protection program aspects. Very good job with the dialog as well.
