The most effective short stories leave a mark on your imagination long after you have read them. I suspect Mr Livingston's The Wheel of Justice will linger in my mind for quite some time to come.This biting satire involves a game show that gives new meaning to the phrase life or death. What drew me most into this story was the writer's willingness to experiment with form - throughout the show we are also presented with the intervening advertisements - all of which had me laughing both uncomfortably and hysterically.I won't say too much more about the story as I don't want to give the writer's ingenious idea away. But needless to say, if you are interested in terrifically written dark satire, you must read The Wheel of Justice.
