Well, 4 minutes is about the time my connection throttle demands to open that second window, and read your story online. I guess your works are worth the lil bit of waiting. And, if it helps: I guess the Stephen King works, in original American titles, I liked the most; 'Salem's Lot', 'Thinner' (paperback) & the Dreamcatcher movie adaptation...

"Be patient, Normie..." #lol

I know it sux, thanks due my own critics, but it does improve readability:

*Use commas to separate independent clauses, when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.

I have had this book on my nook for quite awhile now and I finally got a chance to read it.

I am such a short story fan and this one is superb. I will be sharing this link on Facebook and through word-of-mouth. Thank you for sharing this twisted... mehr anzeigen

Considering that you are one of the better writers around here, I really appreciate your opinions. As I mentioned in a comment below, I'm using "Four Minutes" as the basis for a full length novel. Of course, there will have to be a different ending now....

I'm speechless.
I have to give this story nothing but adjectives.

Mr. Lard brought this story to a head with the skill of authors like Knootz and King.

I'm sorry to say, it served you well in this story my friend. Wonderful

Not what I expected - it was even better! It was a little gruesome, but the ending made it worth while. Another great short story John!
