    I was going to let Peril die, but I think he?ll hang for a bit.

Yup... I expect Peril has a lot of friends where he's going! LOL, Sure is in peril now. An apt name you gave that man. He's been in peril this entire story! LOL, Good job, Bill!

When I heard the criminal was going someplace in Florida, my first thought was 'the swamp' was a great place to hide and never be found.

I hope there is another installment... I suspect 'the hiding' is a little more involved than a simple escape plan?

    Rumor was that Jimmy Hoffa was wood-chipped and poured in the Okefenoke.

Something tells me that Peril may not have had a full understanding of what may be in store for him. He is thinking that he will be hidden in Florida, when in truth his body will be hidden in Florida, while his life will be in limbo.

    Peril is definitely not being given a free ride. Wonder if he makes it to the swamp whole or puréed?

Interesting story about a mob connected guy thinking he's got everything covered only to find out that he's going to be dumped in the swamp. Sounds like some down-home justice for this guy. Good luck with the rest of your story.

    Thanks, Bill. I'm still deciding whether Peril will escape his escape.

Again Bill (two in one day!)
Very good. You have the pace right - the story zips along. It is all very focused on the players rather than the scene. Scene-setting has perhaps not been necessary in these short FS-format episodes, as the dialogue really does carry the writing. I do not know if you intend to develop the story outside of FS, but if you do, perhaps widening your vision to scene-setting and descriptive work might 'bulk' out the text without detracting from the (strong) story line: just a thought.
I wish you well with this and your other writing.
cheers

    I am practically cutting and pasting the last review response I read, Phil. I do tend to skimp on details as the story builds. I will beef up the setting and perhaps the minor characters' backstories later, depending on how this comes out. Thanks for reviewing.

It sounds like Peril might've been better off in prison. At least he'd still be alive. I imagine this little routine saves taxpayers a lot of money. I can't say I feel a bit sorry for him, accident or not. It wouldn't have happened at all if he didn't con his son into playing the deadly game. Your chapter is well-written, very interesting, realistic, believable thoughts, dialogue. It could've used more details. Now I see what my readers mean. My stories are often written this way, dialogue-heavy.
