Impressive twist, Jack. Aside from that I am impressed by your ability to convey a lot of information in few words. I could learn a lot from you, sir.

Excellent presentation and description. A perfect example of how flash fiction should be. Short and sweet with a power packed ending. The headaches from the 'unanswered question' saved me from losing the ending (I think). Anyway, good enough for a vote from me.

I love the attention to details. Great descriptions draws you into the story. I found myself mesmerized and lulled into the thoughts of the character, I never saw the end coming. Masterfully crafted. Flash Fiction at its best!

I am not sure what you didn't understand in this fine piece of writing.

Although well written, I too was confused. Why was he so concerned about the motive...about taking note of the passing car and it's features....and then going out to seek another victim?

A really terrific crime story, short sweet and very sly.

I could feel the drizzle coming down I was so into the story right to the last word.

Every syllable was superb!
