Hello Shawlyn

More than the theme, I liked the language and style. The theme of stealing organs for unholy purposes finds a great outlet through this story. It is quite well crafted both in terms of showing and narration.
The descriptive bits get my attention.
" His coat billowed behind him."

Also the ways to cyber crime are told well.
" He hacked the Transplant Database and entered a Trojan for me. I still have access to it."

Sentence structure is well paced without the needless pauses. I can hear the staccato beat behind.
"Silenceā€¦ then sounds of movement. Light footsteps coming toward him. The door swung open as far as the security chain would allow. A shadowed face peered out."
Absolutely appealing.

Finally, the murder itself. It is visual in its description hence quite absorbing. Neat transformations as the story progresses.
Both the characters live their roles convincingly, including the apparel and the mental stuff.

A good story!

Write on!
