Story #14: The Difference Between A Redwood And A Sequoia

will be up in mere seconds.

I was not going to tell you that this is my reigning favorite of all the stories I’ve written this year. But I can’t help it. It is awesome. I love it. Yes, you heard me, and I’m not ashamed to say it.

    This was awesome: "Superninja thought about killing them all. He could do it in nine seconds, kill the cameraman last, leave Lynn alive to witness it, to tell everyone how he tore through them like a man in fast-forward, how he delivered temple-blows so precisely that their corpses fell unmarred, a whole store full of beautiful sleeping people with shit in their pants." Really, really cool. Obviously, I loved the fact that he was a real badass ninja and I loved all the throw-away references to old missions and the "undead legions of Wang-tan" and stuff like that. Very entertaining. Kinda reminded me of a Quentin Tarantino story.

    For some reason him going out with Lynn seemed not very believable. I'm not sure why but that stuck out to me as awkward.

    Highly enjoyable, I can see why it's your favorite.

    Liked: I really loved the whole thing, but my favorite aspect was the character and his backstory in Japan, and how ridiculous it is that he's a realtor in LA. I know that's like the whole story, but that's how much I liked it. I also really loved the conversations between the protagonist and his master, these were completely brilliant.

    Disliked: Really hard to say, I didn't circle anything while reading. Maybe the little sidebar about the 2nd place pie-off/autism thing, if I had to pick something as distracting ever so slightly from the flow.
