Discussion of "I Like Being a Cop" by ShadowMan

Well, as usual I did not thoroughly proofread this thing. The last words should have been "Real Estate Broker", not "Stock Broker". Grrrrrr....

Anyway, don't worry about being nice or (worse yet) politically correct. I wrote this during my lunch break so I'm sure there are a number of grammar errors. I'm sorely out of practice and will take all the constructive criticism I can get. - Thanks, ShadowMan

I thought it was excellent!
Totally unexpected twist at the end...shocked me! Glad you shook the rust off dude. Look forward to more.

Thanks DogDeity - I appreciate it. I browsed through some of your your stuff too. I liked it and will work my way through the rest. 'Back Canvas' is great.

I'm still getting used to the format here. It's not in my nature to leave a work unfinished, so I need to fight to get out of that "short-story" mentality.

I was totally blown away by this story. This is very creative. I'm usually good at predicting stories or endings of movies, but you got me. Didn't see this one coming at all!

I was totally caught off gaurd by the twist at the end. That is my kind of ending. You totally had be believing this guy was cop. His own mind was so warped that he actually believe he was and you really brought that through in this story. Cool stuff. You are definitely one of my favorite reads on this website.

Just going through some old stories...

The flow of your story kind of lured me into this sort of daze and then....BAM.

I loved that ending, loved the last line. Typo or no, it got the point across.

5 stars for surprising me.
