Priest and condemned man conversation [13+] Dialog 500 May 2016 contest entry. Dialog only and less than 500 words |
Review brought to you by: "Game of Thrones" by Creeper Of The Realm OVERALL IMPRESSION - It is an interesting conversation between a Priest and a man on death row, just before he's off to be killed. The conversation I didn't expect as they discussed religion, matters of the heart, and those that believe. WHAT I LIKED BEST - Knowing it was this last conversation, I was glad that it wasn't a confession seeking forgiveness. John has great arguments about crime and punishment, setting examples of people who commit crimes and how they come from different walks of life. PLOT~ This is John's last opportunity to speak to his pastor before he leaves death row and walks to his impending fate. The two have a good conversation as time draws near. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT~ The priest who is there to see his friend off. John, who's on death row. I liked that there was an honest friendship between these two, which really made the Pastor seem more human. I think we sometimes forget that just because they took a vow doesn't mean they aren't just like us. You showed that very well. DIALOG~ A dialog only piece, you captured the banter between these really well. It was easy to follow along with their conversation and leaves the reader with something to think about.
