I really like the flow and narration of this piece. Very good word choice and sentence structure. Intriguing and well written. :-)

Your work is publish worthy. That amusing review you wrote must be a joke. Besides, why would you try to plagiarize an amateur writer who still needs to practice her skills? If it's because you don't like my work, it's fine. You don't have to. Nobody is forcing you to read my poor attempts at storytelling. ;D

Please follow your dreams. Don't give up in pursuing official publication. There's no need for you to plagiarize someone else (don't risk getting sued.) You're already talented. And I do mean that.

Sounds like an interesting place Paradise IV, especially the sharing of the women. Poor Grimes, he didn't find any peace after all.
Good story.

The opening line is very intriguing. The words "especially if it works" suggests that the speaker is afraid of their conscience - they do not want to be tied-down by something so nagging and ever-present.

"Except that of Executioner?" This was an unexpected twist and I liked it - how fitting for Grimes. This line tied the piece together well.

Keep up the good work. :)

An enjoyable read! Short and sweet. The tale is told well - it kept me interested. I like the way a lot of your work contains a character telling the story of someone else rather than his own story. It's a style in which you can feel the emotion of the speaker at the same time that you learn the story of the other character. It's quite clever, actually!

Oh no, poor Grimes! :(
Beautifully written, you could detect the emotion of the leader in it as he remembered Grimes. I just feel sorry for the poor man who tried to escape violence only to end in a world where he was the only man who did it!

This is pretty good. It reminds me of the prologue before Burrough's John Carter Mars series. I'd never expect you to write sci-fi.

The correct title is "The People Who Could Not Kill." I don't know how "Care" got in it, but I'll try to change it.
Sorry about that.
