I am always impressed with someone that can write a short story and get it right. This is a nice little story that touches on addictions. I enjoyed it.

A tight and precise bit of storytelling
“Five in Six” is a perfectly executed short story from Mr. Galacar, author of the novel “Gilchrist” and others. The plot is about a gambling addict who receives an offer he cannot refuse. It moves along at a brisk pace, and the tale left me on the edge of my metaphorical seat by the end.

Five in Six
How can you not love this writer? Novels are terrific, love his style, wit and his sense of humor. As for short stories? I love em. Unfortunately it is a dying art these days, so kudos to you Mr. Galacar for publishing them! P.S. Please write faster...

I just finished his book Gilchrist. This is good, but not as good as he writes. Really, this was a fast story and I enjoyed the irony of it. A hoodlum who has to count on his gun is going to be sure that bullet spins into use, especially if 5k rides on it.

Nice little read
If you've ever known anyone with an addiction you will get this short story. Nice quick lunch break read ending with an eye roll.

Leave us hanging?
We wanted a little hint. Just a little one. So glad I am not a gambler. Not even nickel slots.
