Literally could have been a book there was so much potential to make it a book. We start out with no introduction to the characters and have no clue what the men did?? And the way they are brought up just is confusing maybe I just need to read it again? I think that the plot deserves a whole book and not a short story

Entertaining but disappointing. It starts out as a revenge thriller and fizzles out. The three main characters are indeed characters, and there's good character development considering this is a short story, but the characters are shown from only one viewpoint. It's good to see such staunch loyalty after so many years of friendship but I was expecting more from the plot.
