Review by: Rob Wilkins on Jan. 15, 2013 :
The writing style in this one is very different, with a stilting, staccato rhythm that would ordinarily feel quite unsettling and distracting. But for the character here, for the tale being told, it's entirely appropriate and fitting, a secondary reflection on the state of mind that goes beyond the actual words being used. The second read of this was more enjoyable than the first, and it improved with it.

The author mentions the use of King's brackets, the way he has of inserting the thought within a thought. It can be annoying sometimes, but at the same time, it offers a very direct and punchy way to offer a brief glimpse into the character's subconscious. If it wasn't so distinctly King's, I'd probably use it all over the place myself.

I think I'd give this three and a half stars. Why can't I have half stars? I demand half stars. Oh well...I'll rate it four, and thereby turn all my future ratings of Michael's work into complete nonsense by comparison. Hurrah.

An interesting story of a crime going wrong, with the robber getting the money but losing something much worse in return.

Very enjoyable short piece.

I really liked this - yes, there is a very Stephen King-esque style to it but that's not a bad thing at all. We all have influences and they help shape our styles, help us find our own voice. The style of this is what i liked more than anything else - the storyline itself is okay (I won't give anything away) - but the style of the writing and the structure really appealed to me. probably because it was (is!) similar to mine! Well done Mike - good stuff!
