Premise: Story about a thief who doesn't hesitate to kill people if he has to, and how a mere sight of vultures drive him toward his own death!

Available on Smashwords and Amazon

(Please note that it may take Amazon a few days to do the price-match thing; so, until then, I suggest that you get it from Smashwords only)

Foop, I don't know. I'll read it then vote, OK?

Sorry, no. You might try removing most of the exclamation marks and generally making the style less breathless.

If it were several short stories in a collection that was around 10k words maybe, but I've always thought 2k was a bit short for .99¢ with/without tax. Of course that's just my opinion though.

No problem. Opinions are what the polling is for.

It helps to give me an idea of how to 'price it right' when I launch my collection in future. My target is at least 100 stories of varying lengths.
