I loved Diavolino, by Steve Emmett, so when I heard he had a short story available for kindle, I had to read it. I was not disappointed. Kid draws you into his story and hangs on tight until the very end. Deformed and deaf, discarded by society, Kid takes a job working for the Sheriff. It isn't a pleasent job and Kid's deformity fits into the terror that the Sheriff plans for those he accuses. But Kid is given a rare opportunity to change his life. And when he takes hold of the gift he learns a valuable lesson. Be careful what you wish for.This is a short story, but well worth the .99 cents. The ending was perfect and haunted me long after I finished reading it.
