I'm not a professional reviewer. I just know what I like. And I loved this story. It's a quick read that sucks you in and keeps you there for the whole 21 pages. Seriously, if this was a full-length novel, I would've been up all night to finish it.

I felt extremely drawn to it in the sense that it breaks away from normally found short stories. It executes its concept pretty well (which is a short to be exact). The story begins after 'The Calling' and the world is pretty much in chaos, laws are abandoned and instead anarchy breeds and lurks in every corner.
The main character, Bishop whom I immediately felt drawn to, is the personification of the word 'total bad***' and spends his days hunting for his revenge. After his wife and daughter are brutally killed by a group of criminals, he sets out in an already forsaken world bent on avenging them in the most action oriented way possible: butchering everyone left and right until he gets to the source of the problem.
While I won't spoil how the story shapes, it is definitely a great read, but one that I felt could've used a lot more depth and backstory. A short story, simply does not do the world that Ric created justice, and at the end, I found myself still wondering about what would happen next.
'Bishop', was an absolutely thrilling read, but it was one, where it would leave you wanting more and more. I would absolutely love for a sequel, or even a prequel... or you know, anything!

A brutal post-apocalyptic vengeance tale. I liked it!
