Yes, sir, sometimes there just seems to be a sign that shows up to let you know where the story and even life are going. But just as easily as it does, it can change. Thanks for sharing.

This chapter has a lot of tension in it. You did a good job and I enjoyed the read. I found one place where you need a comma. ( something he was a friend of yours.") I suggest putting a comma after something. Have a wonderful day. Shirley

Something to think about. I counted 19 paragraphs, I could have miss counted, but 7 started with Chance. You might want to vary the beginnings a little more. The Chances stopped my reading, Maybe it's just me.

I'm a little confused as why Chance seems to be talking to a tombstone. He knows the three men he is dealing with want to cut him out of the action but he seems to have something on them that they don't know about. I may be missing something, but I plan to see what happens next.

Eerie, good reading. Creepy stuff this. I don't think we got anywhere a few chapters back where those guys were waiting to take advantage of Chance? FS wants me to say more. What more can I say? No spags.

This read easy and had that old detective noir feel to it. The words and the tone scream mystery and a hint of intrigue mixed with danger.
Well done.
