Victim: A Short Story

Man's inhumanity to man.

Nick is under pressure today. He needs to bring home some cash so that he, and his girlfriend, can keep from going broke. But he has chosen a profession that isn't an honorable one. He makes a living by preying on weaker individuals. Today's target is the old man that he's been observing all week long and he needs to make his move.

He'll attempt to gain entry into the old man's house and, hopefully, find enough cash or credit cards to sustain him until a new victim is found. But sometimes people aren't as helpless as they seem and Nick may be in for a rude awakening.

Well written with a surprising twist!

The pace of the story keeps your interest and the twists tests your morals! I enjoyed it very much.

Short and Interesting

This is a great insight into an awesome character from the book Phase. Short enough to read or listen to on a short drive. Another great tale by a talented author. I'll be waiting to check out more.
