I came across your splendid piece in the Random Review feature of the site. I am so happy this little story came up for review.
Wow, you had me sweating along with this poor dude heading off to the gallows. I kept imagining so many different ways this could have ended, except the way it did end.
I loved the internal struggle going on with the character. He was giving the reader a front and center part of the audience gathered to witness the sentence placed upon him.
This was a fine story to make a reader feel anticipation, and also feel like a voyeur into the the macabre that being unable to turn away from a disaster or tragedy unfolding, but having the need to watch right up to the very end.
I enjoyed it just as it stands. I especially loved the ending. Very clever, indeed!
Great Dark-Western tale that left an impression, if not on my mind, then surely upon my neck. Well deserving of the ribbon that graces it.
