Wow Michael...this is intense and just dripping with fear and uncertainty. The format is perfect as well, creating a profound effect with each line...making the pauses and punctuation seem heavy and menacing in all the right places. Amazing job!

Wow Michael, this was intense! Reminded me of an abusive parent. Well done-

This was intense..no doubt! I almost felt the mafia present (perhaps they were lol!) I was holding my breath for you..hoping you would get out of this situation unharmed.

Mmm Just a little type I think

He would take an lemon. 'a'

I was one the edge of my seat with this one....seriously!

Ouch Michael! The deliberate intimidation seeps all through this ... it's chilling! Twisty but fabulous! :-( x

A chilling piece that conjures up images of oppression. Being held prisoner. The observers discomfort, unease and distain vividly portrayed. The presence of a villain with his prey forced to watch him eat. A captivating chilling piece. Best wishes Milly x

This takes me back in time having dinner with my parents as a child. It was a cold silence him just waiting for me to make a wrong move or say something. Excellent write Michael. All the best and hugs to you

Michael! You have done excellently capturing that fear. Felt like I was watching a movie with a terrified child eating with his father. Chilling and captivating at the same time.
