Duly noted, G. Your story is riveting. It could be about any similar incident with any patrons in the diner. You did a great job with the vivid details. I could see everything as I read it. I was engaged from start to finish.
Thanks for sharing.

This story is exciting to read and very realistic. It is well written and held my interest right to the end. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly. Very nicely done.

That was a great story as all of your work are. I was so entranced by your story, waiting for that explosion of some suspenseful event and wondering about the character it will happen to. GREAT READ & WONDERFUL ENTERTAINMENT +.

Gareth,
No, just helps us to imagine what it might have been like to be dead-center in one of these riots/protests. Regardless of which side you're on - the ones caught in the middle must be terrified - and I think you captured that well in this short piece.
Crazy how some folks think they have a right to behave in certain ways -
I've missed your writing - hope you are well?
Only one wee note:
--> He stared in (disbelief) at the scene which greeted him
Thanks for presenting this side of things - it seems to have been neglected by most of the media. The real people at the heart of the chaos. Enjoyed!

Hi Gareth, this is pure carnage. You take us from a peaceful setting to a field of open war and murder. I was riveted by the sheer chock of it all. So very well written, and so good to see you back for a visit. Ulla:)))

You set the scene in the Diner well in each paragraph, the people, the food, then crash, an act of stupid violence disrupts the lives and livelihood of many. Well written, well told, enjoyed it.

I liked how you manged to turn a gentle scene at the start to something violent as the protesters arrived. Around the world this year there seems to have been an increase in the level of protests. I think it's a year that none of us will forget. I really enjoyed this piece and I loved the setting and how you brought it to life.

This is a great well written story that is gripping from beginning to end. Your writing style is unique and riveting. I hope this is the first in a series.

You have written this well and I think that it should evoke feelings of empathy for these folks who are innocent bystanders of some group's protest agenda.We can do better and should. A good write.

I think you captured the set of circumstances as they would actually happen. You were able to describe it to a "T". Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and stay healthy.
