I’m soaked through to the skin before the heavy doors of the convent close. I blink the world back into focus. It seems too dim, as if I looked overlong into the sun, but it isn’t. Its just the way I left it. The wet weight of my knife begs to differ. Three blemishes upon society gone, and one innocent…if not saved then at least helped. But I am not an equalizer, I’m a sin eater, and as the sound of sirens fill my ears the hunger returns.

Well that’s the end…for now. Thanks for reading!
If you stayed with me till the end thank you, it means a lot. I hope you liked it. I wrote this all at once, but decided that it felt more like a graphic novel than a traditional fiction. So I released it one paragraph at a time. Each post like a flipped page.
Please, leave a comment I would love to hear what you think.
I like your writing style – it has a tinge of pulp fiction.
Thank you so much! What a wonderful comment. My thought in choosing the images was of Sin City, but I love the idea that a Pulp Fiction vibe could have gotten in there as well.
This is a unique form of story telling – leaving much more than usual for the readers’ imagination.
All good wishes,
Eric
I wanted the reader to imagine what could happen next by splitting it up into so many sections, so I’m glad it read that way. Though it did leave a large margin for not living up to expectations. Thank you so much for following the story Eric I hope you enjoyed it!
