BUT THERE WAS A CRIMINAL

~ Iain Kelly

He felt broken. Battered. Alone.

No one believed him.

There was no body.

But there was a criminal.

Out there. A murderer.

He was sure of it.

Someone had to deliver justice.

Him.

  1. The MC is all alone without clues or evidence and only his instincts with him. That desperation would make for a great story arc. The staccato sentences add a lot to the scene as well. Good one, Iain. Glad to have you onboard with #MicroMondays.
