Thank you. It means the world to me that you had that deep of a response. This has been my favorite short story to write. I like to think justice still exists in the world even if sometimes it’s hard to see.
Thank you, sir! I wanted to explore the concept of “right” vs “legal” and what happens when we don’t rigidly apply the law in the pursuit of broader justice. A lot packed in that and some real pitfalls. But I wanted to explore that space. Glad you enjoyed reading it!
Love this. Loads of tension. It made me cry.

It's a fab story. I love the gentle and subtle dramatisation of a life-changing moment.
Great, great job on this Jack. Tension, physical descriptions, inner unspoken thoughts. Loved this one and probably my favorite so far. - Jim
Thanks Jim - mine too.
Really great —the seasoned, wisened Detective thinking through the rationale, knowing the lies, hating the previous police responses. Masterful.

A really interesting read. Very tense, considering all the ways in which interviews of this sort can go when people don't call a lawyer.
Great stuff.
