This ends a little abruptly. I started this as a two ficlet story, but it kept growing. I definitely didn’t want it to go past four though. So, I apologize for that. I could say that I’ll re-visit it later, but that would probably be a lie. Oh well.

I didn’t find the ending abrupt. Death can ruin the rest of your life, you know! 5 stars for the whole series!

Wow.. not expecting the guy to die. Thats such a moving story. This really caught your attention from the start. I like how you can get the person who reads this, sucked into the story. The characters and the situation really draw you in

Yeah, i agree with Sarah and pyropunk, this was a great story,a great series, and i actually like the ending and didn’t find it abut at all. i started to read this because of the title but when i started to read it i really liked and couldn’t stop,lol. At the end of part three i thought to myself, i hope there is a 5th one. You are a great author.

I thought you did a wonderful job (with such an horrible subject that is all too real for too many families in this world.) As for the “abrupt” ending, what else was there to do? It was most fitting. ;)

I can understand how you couldn’t contain this to just 2 ficlets. I found the ending to be abrupt, but I think it needed to be for the last line to really be as powerful as it is. Good stuff.

Abrupt is good in a story like this. It ended fittingly. A family in this situation lives in misery and violence, but it’s all they know. Change is scary…even if it’s change for the better.
I’m glad the bastard got a bat to the head. Richly deserved.
