An interesting idea but I felt the shortness if anything hindered it slightly. That said, it was still well executed taking minamilst story-telling to quite an extreme.

Well-written and creates a vivid image of a serial killer at work. Good as an experiment but far too short to create a lasting impression. It would perhaps be interesting in a longer story, where perhaps each snapshot of a scene could be written in 100 words.

Not bad. Takes quite a bit of talent to create a vivid image in so few words.
