That was one of the best things I've ever read on this site. You managed to get character and story into such a low word count, I'm honestly so impressed, and hope I can one day write as well as this. Cheers.

Great storyline. Fantastic telling of the clues and the ultimate conclusion. I did get a kick out of the detective is growing in number every time they were mentioned. Love love love how he got the name 20. Fantastic job! Good luck in the contest.

Contest rules say that this is supposed to be a SHORT story.
Story is well written with interesting characters and a threaded mystery. Very dark and back-alley. Author obviously an experienced writer. Smoothly flowing text, dialogue appropriate for story setting. Cute that "Twenty" is really 16!
"Eye" supposed to be "Aye."
Thank you for the opportunity to view your work.
Carry on!

This is an extremely fine post and entry in this contest, I think it's one of the better, you held back the identity of Twenty, for the right amount of time, and the surprise of his true identity and how he obtained his name. An excellent plot, characters entry, well done good luck, blessings Roy

I like this adventure of the series of adventures of Justin Thyme aka Twenty, the taletelling of this case of death is organized and narratively realistic, I have enjoyed a few dialogues so realistic and contributory; I could not enjoy the intro or beginning for it is not so catchy as I find it is too long and descriptive, but I like the interesting ending, well said, well done; thank you for sharing this; keep writing. Good luck for the contest. ALCREATOR
