Review: Great Short Story

It always amazes me what a good writer can do in a few short pages. Rick Morena shows us what it feels like to be an overworked cop and the price it demands from both him and his family. We see the horror of the job which leads to the necessary desensitization but we also see the boredom. The description of this family is believable and we can't help but sympathize right up to the shock ending. This is the first thing I have ever read by Rick Morena (I'm not usually a fan of police procedurals) but I'll definitely be back for more. Great story!
