Of Monsters and Men

"The darkest monsters are those we allow ourselves to become." - Joe Mancer.

Yes, you've guessed it. There's going to be a new short story heading your way soon. This one takes a long, dark look at familiarity, decisions and consequences.

The premise for this 'what if,' was how far would you go to save someone's life. What would you be prepared to sacrifice? If it's a personal sacrifice, you can reason, justify with yourself the red lines that cannot be crossed.

What if the life was a friend's direct relation? And what if you had to sacrifice the life of your friends pet? What if it wasn't certain that you could save them, but it was a gamble for the potential to do good, what then?

What if it came down to maiming someone, in return for information?

How far would you go?

This happens to Joe, when an old friend seeks his help after her niece has been abducted.

I'll keep you posted!

Cheers
