From the massive archive...
Sometimes you know that your foe of the moment has no
future. That he is too far down the wrong road so you put him down because you
have to end his misery. That and you can rescue the three young girls held in
the back of the van. It is just part of the job.
The woman in his living room also has a job in mind. A
far more personal job for the man who used to be Special Forces and now is a
vigilante killer working out of Los Angeles. A job that is complicated and also
very much needs doing in the short story Daughters by Nathan Walpow.
Told in the first person, this is a hard edged fast
moving short story featuring a nameless and very interesting main character.
Borderline sociopath with a touch of humor, our antihero is very much of the
opinion that the world is a place that needs cleaning up after on a fairly
frequent basis. One can’t reveal much about the short story without giving away
too much, beyond what has been said above, but there are a couple of twists in
this tale that help create a mighty good read.
I picked up this free read to read and review thanks to the author mentioning it on Facebook.
