a great short story

great little tale about revenge but with this sad ending Revenge isn't always the best answer

Well worth a listen

Well performed, well written and thought provoking in >30min.
Several more of this authors works are available without spending a credit, I’ve added them all to my collection.

Chain of events - 4 stars

One bad deed leads to another as an act of revenge sets of a CHAIN of events. An interesting listen, full of action. It did go into some backstory about the character's heritage and prejudices against himself and other characters. It seemed to set up a longer story but I guess it was just enough to make for an entertaining story. Good narrator.

The chain

this story was interesting and entertaining. I think it is one of the better stories that I have read from this author.

Consequences of Actions

This was a short story about the consequences of action that start a chain of events. While I knew something was coming, it did not turn out the way I expected. A good story, beautifully narrated.

Hmmm

I like Wolff's long fiction but I'm just discovering his short work. Not sure about it yet.

Trivial morality tale

People acting foolishly. Dangerous dog at the center of the story not a realistic solution.
