This is a good story for the contest because in a few words you led us to believe this was a sniper involved in a war zone. Then with one last sentence, we learn it was gamer. I love surprise ending.

Kill or be killed and war is a game of chance and your story is profound and chilling here, a futile loss of young lives in this short story of the killing fields, love Dolly x

SO clever! Of course, of COURSE I was running in the opposite direction!
Sharp, cutting, decisive misdirection with a social commentary that enrages and cured the rage at the same time... Scary good. Really.
Winner? MAY BE!

Thank goodness it was just a game. Although personally I don't like games that simulate killing. Your story is well written and your image very appropriate. Well done.

    Thanks for your review. Being a gamer myself I can tell you there aren't many around that don't show killing, some in worse forms than others.

Well, that is what happens in games when you spend too much time on offence and forget about your defense. A snipper must always be on the move in between shots. Your shooter did not move and was therefore easy to track. Rookie mistake.

A strong entry for gamers. Well done.

Darn those games...they are programmed to be smarter than the average guy, I guess. the sniper was on top of his game and then he was not! Well done! Have a great day!
