I am glad your story is fiction! Well written - you maintained the interest throughout, and it was a different way of offering a family story. Best wishes for this entry in the contest.

Well, this was a good story: intense, fast-paced and well written. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it's just too darned short! I know, I know, the 500 word limit but I want to know more. Like who he was and what lead up to his actions and why he was crazy. Sigh. I guess I'll just fill in the blanks. Well done.

I enjoyed reading this contest entry. I never expected Burlington to still be in the apartment. Good twist. Good luck with the contest.

When I saw "Family Story" I was shocked for a minute, thinking it was your own true story, Brett! I thought maybe you were a detective in another life. lol This is a well-written short story that keeps the readers interest. Good luck in the contest.

I've been doing way too much reading these days and don't have the time to read those I enjoy most or the stars to reward them properly. But, it doesn't mean I like them any less. Great job! And thanks for sharing.

This Mystery and Crime Fiction, ~ Family Story ~ writing prompt entry speaks about family affair, and particularly when police work becomes a family affair, even if when one performs his duty honestly, confidently to achieve a mission, and when one is not wanted to be part of the service; well said, well done; thanks for sharing, happy reviewing this; God Bless you, my good writer, post more, dear.

This story is well paced. The vocabulary fits the situation. The dialogue is believable. It rings true because the outcome is not a full resolution.

A good read. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting story - I live in the city of Roses...I suppose we have that kind of excitement here, but not at my house. Since this is fiction, I feel safe... you did a fine job with this...enjoyed it a lot.
