Hi. A very good entry for this contest. It is a full short, complete with just enough action to keep us reading...and it ends well...not an easy line to make new. padumachitta

Comment from Jay Leeward
I wish I could read this story objectively, dispassionately. I would like to comment pithily on a misspelled word, extraneous comma. Calmly critique dialogue and exposition. I can't.
The story grips me. I admire the shifting POV. I am shocked at the glimpse into minds I don't fully comprehend, but see more clearly than I would like. I am disturbed and fascinated.
Excellent work. I have learned much in the reading.

Great story line, I was so drawn into the story. I liked the way you were the gunman speaking and giving his thoughts . Very well written. Good use of the sentence is anyone here a doctor?

You story covered panic and adrenaline and how they both built up very well.
That was nice how you started out with "is anyone here a doctor?" ... and ending with the same words.
Good luck with your story.

Comment from High Wire Girl
- I wouldn't capitalize bitch
- You can't predict everything, can you? (comma between everything and can)
- worst case scenario (not worse)
- a comma between 'Pick her up' and 'old man'
I love your writing, Derived. It's gutsy and messy (like life, sometimes) but you're attentive to the details That makes everything sharp and crisp.

High Wire Girl,
Thanks tons for those catches. I thought I had edited this one pretty good but something usually slips by me. It's usually commas and capitalization, so thanks again for your help. I'm honored that you love my writing. Thank you for taking the time to read and review. As always, it is appreciated.

Sometimes when you're looking at stuff too closely, you can't see much. Ain't that a trip?
Comment from Cian Mateo
This was a well written entry with strong imagery and dialogue that held my attention throughout.
The unexpected change of events makes for an interesting twist at the end. And a rather satisfying one; seeing how the gunman's partner would have had no problem leaving behind an innocent woman to bleed to death.
Well written.

Comment from pafaust
When the second guy tells Eddie to relax, you changed the spelling of his name. Your "gait" is confident. This was an intriguing story and I found myself mesmerized, wondering what was going on. It took a lot of thought (on my part) to figure out why the story changed. Thanks for that challenge on a beautiful, sunny Sunday.

Yep, thank you. I fixed that. I had originally called him Eddy, but thought that looked to weird so changed in the heading, but it escaped me in the story. Thank you for taking the time to read and review.
