This is a gripping story. My favorite sentence is, "Cassidy trained his eyes upon David with the stillness of a sniper."

Damn. This story is fire. What I enjoy about your writing especially is how seamlessly you get into the shoes of any kind of protagonist/narrator and time. I know it's a lot of work and research, so bravo!

“Then he started dreaming about being a hero.” Gripping, tragic. Well done!

A story that disturbed me.

You really have something in the character of David -- would you consider writing another story featuring him before his (presumably) untimely death?

Jesus, Andrei. Powerful. What a sensational (and dark) ending. I honestly wasn't expecting that when the gun was pulled.

You painted a rich set of characters and context with such few words here. Bravo!
