Description

Tim's younger brother hates him. Their father abuses him. His mother is indifferent to everyone. When Tim discovers the nameless man passed out in the shed, it's the best thing that's happened to him in his fifteen years of life-- better than the time he caught the neighbour's dog. It's an opportunity he won't forget as long as he lives. Too bad the same can't be said for the nameless man.

What a good message for abusive fathers the world over. Sort yourself out or risk becoming garbage! Cool story, more please.

A truly vicious and well-executed work that shows how dangerous yard implements can be. Indeed, every shovel and shear should be licensed. I recommend this short to all who enjoy a bit gore and the occasional flinch.

Review by: Harvest Moon on June 23, 2010 :
This is a fascinating piece of work. The main character arc is subtle, but effective and the narrative is paced well enough to give the story a nice flow. The background of the main character and the reasoning for his actions are peppered throughout the story which season the story well.

What an awesome story! Ordinarily I would pronounce this kid a twisted little monster, so it was a surprise to find myself cheering him on. It takes a damned good writer to sway a reader down a new thought path. Let's just hope this author doesn't go into politics with his powers of persuasion!
