Pliers by Mike Pyro

Cor blimey, Mike. You made me wince! That doesn't happen often. A tad worried you can write about violence that effectively at 14 but very well done.
My only suggestion would be that perhaps the second paragraph could do with a little rearranging. Although you say who's saying which line, I still stumbled over it for some reason.

oops didn't see this post - sorry forum. the link for this: http://www.abctales.com/story/mikepyro/pliers Juliet

Yes 2lou I guess it is a tad worrysome. I'll be 15 in a few days now, but I know what you mean. Anyway I'm a kid who has read many books, seen many movies. I've come to learn a few things abot loan sharks. I don't think it reflects much upon how I live though. I mainly wrote the story to warn people how dangerous it can be. People are cruel, they can care for only money. Thx for the concern though, and the review. ( I'll fix up the second paragraph) Give me the beat boys and free my soul! I wanna getta lost in ya rock n' roll and drift away. Drift away...

Oh it's all right Mike - I wasn't really worried, it was just a backhanded compliment about you writing above your age. Well done. And thanks, Juliet, for the link - must have remained on my clipboard as usual...
p.s. Did you see Juliet also flagged this a few topics down?
All of Pyro's stories have something amazing in them. In this case, I particularly like the casualness of the final conversation between Ralph and Frank, which counterbalances the hideousness of their craft. I get the implication that these guys would escalate without limit, but would prefer not to. They are conservative and measured. They are only after a specific objective. And Ralph appreciates Frank's finesse. Frank teaches his skill artfully. Frank is the best! I look forward to the next story, Mike. You should enter some of these in writing contests. Earlier this week I posted a URL in the "Noticeboard" forum to some contests. I think you would be a contender in any contest you enter.
Really Charles? I wouldn't even consider it a few weeks ago but coming on this sight has really helped. (I hadn't wrote a thing for 4 months until I got on, now I've written 30+ stories in 7 weeks. U guys are great) And yeah that is funny that Juliet alos flagged this. lol :) Give me the beat boys and free my soul! I wanna getta lost in ya rock n' roll and drift away. Drift away...

I've decided to make Frank and Ralph charecters in a series I'm gonna make. I'ts called A Sunshine in Darkness Series. Pliers is eppisode 1 out of 4-8 I guess. I just put out #2, Push The Ice and I think it is a great start. So if you like crime stories then I have more to come. (not as violent thought) :) Give me the beat boys and free my soul!
