BITE the HAND

by Elias Anderson

As a crime-syndicate triggerman, John exists amongst the very worst humanity has to pimps, pushers, prostitutes, killers, and addicts of every kind, himself the lowest among them. After years of unquestioning obedience, he at last finds a line he won't cross. With the fate of an innocent in his hands, John struggles to find what separates beasts from men and the carefully constructed wall he has built inside himself begins to crumble.

Wanted so badly for this story to have a happy ending. With evil like this in the world, where people only care about how much money can be made, and they don't care who they hurt to get it, I guess this is about as good as it gets.
