I love it. Dialogue driving the action. The image of a pissed off cop taking the time to tie his boots amidst all the gunfire. You know this guy is BAMF .

I fell out of bed this morning to the sound of gunfire. I’d like to think that it was my military training that made me roll …
I’m a thirty-something year old research scientist, husband, and father of two with aspirations of one day publishing something that doesn’t result from my work in the laboratory.
I’ve taught scientific writing to undergraduate and graduate students, and tend to read everything with an overly critical eye. This is probably why I don’t comment as much as I should. I have unreasonably high standards (for myself as well as others).
However, if you would like a chance to criticize my writing, then you’re in luck! Aside from my ficlets, I’ve also written a complete novella based on the “Castle in the Air” series started here on ficlets and contributed to primarily by [pens&feathers], among others (read it beginning at: http://ficlets.com/stories/30409). The novella and other writings have been posted on my website (click the Scieroglyphics link above to get there and look to the right side of the screen).
If you like my contributions here, please visit my website to check out my longer works, leave comments, and give criticism and advice.
