An excited town… a mesmerized crowd… they loved her as soon as they set eyes on her. Beautiful, breathtaking, that’s what everyone said of her. Day after day, she could feel their eyes on her, always smiling. She worked hard for them, rain or shine, and was always there for them… so why did they hang her? A 592 word short story.

Review by: Bronnie Wu on Sep. 20, 2012 :
An entertaining and competently written story. The ending was apparent about half way through as the author spent far too much time focussing on the hands and face. The townspeoples reactions at the beginning were very much over the top and if their reaction had been a little more muted this story would have more power and entertainment value. Good grammar for once on Smashwords!

I got to the last page and figured it out! Another twisted story, the kind I like best.

I've read all Glenn's stories and really love this one, as well as his "The Shortcut." If you haven't read any of his other stories, or those of his wife Sasha, you need to visit their authors page. This is a great story with an ending that really threw me!

This is a really great short story with a very surprising ending! The ending totally took me by surprise and I had to reread the story again, and found myself nodding with a smile. Very well done!
