Wow, that’s a really sad twist. I wasn’t thinking of a concentration camp. In the second paragraph, did you mean visible scars?

Thanks TBS …visible scares made it through my spell checker :(

I pegged him for a human pretty quickly, but the concentration camp twist really hit me. Deeply moving story here. One of mankind’s worst moments. These sorts of tragedies are ripe with possibility for telling a truly human story, which you have done here with aplomb.
Great job, and thanks for entering.
Also, I laughed at your comment. It’s very rare that a spell-checker can take the place of traditional editing. Something I need to remind myself daily.

Woo hoo! That was comment number 700 for me. THX , I’m coming for ya man.

Ohh my fuctin gawd this was good. i thought visible scares was just a henry miller type play on words. And why the fuct would this have to be marked as mature? I understand but i think that it is bullshit. we learn about death watching “where the red fern grows” and we learn about ‘man boy love’ watching batman and robin where is the logic.

I was actually swapping between human and dog for a while until the name came up and the concentration camp twist was well executed.

I completely fell for it. I somehow thought the twist wouldn’t have to do with Benji – it seemed so obvious. But then the twist came and it just floored me. Excellent entry.

I liked it a lot – i don’t see why you’re not happy with it.. it was provocative…

Really nice one, I enjoyed it.

LoA

I loved it. Very heartwarming and well, awesome!

Heartbreaking and truthful, a great read.

Made me very sad, but it’s a nice story! Thanks!

this is why I own the collectors edition of Schindler’s list and have only seen it once…this feeling.

very well done.

wow, this is really great. I know I commented a bit late, but it was a way to good to pass up on!
LoA

wow, I was not expecting that at all….

I thought the story was going to be completely innocent with a cool ending, but that twist completely hit off guard.

nice job

that is appalling.
kudos.very entertaining.the twist is unexpected.
i went thru a “phase” where all i wanted to read was about the Nazi concentration camps.and Anne Frank. great job.
