Remove the Yep and and Yeah and fingers ..you've got it..
This is a great use of the prompt ..what a story in such economy of words...why would someone execute before DNA evidence...? Seems I am left wondering pondering with this one.
God bless

This is very well done and all dialogue as well. It is a complete story that leaves a lot to the imagination and also stirs debate on a controversial topic. A strong view presented.

Well, I think the DNA came in a little too late. He took one for the team, I suppose. Was kind of comical in a warped way? Guess there will be a killer lawsuit from the family. Doubloon want help that poor chap. Randall did it. I take your word on the word count. I ain't counting them. Good luck in the prompt. This was stone cold...

I liked this entry as it goes
to show how injustice towards
some one can be done when they were innocent.
The art work was very telling as well.

Well, it isn't the first time that an innocent man was put to death, and it probably won't be the last either, I'm afraid. This is precisely why some people are so dead-set (no pun intended) against the death penalty.
Poor guy. I guess Randal T Rutherford gets his turn next.
Well done, and good luck!

most effective use of dialogue in this tragic and dramatic story - you convey your message of social commentary with strong emotional appeal

I am sure there has been cases where an innocent person has been put to death for a crime they did not commit. I found your story most interesting. So much said about justice in only 100 words. Best of luck in the contest.

No matter what the contest comes to, I enjoyed this. You were able to convey quite a bit of emotion and angst in a very short story. I definitely enjoy finding little gems like this story. Keep up the good work.
