Gateway 1 pulls me in with its intrigue, Gateway 2 is chilling, and I'm desperate to know that she'll be okay. Both stories feel deeply real. Gosh, Sharron - your writing is wonderful.
A LOT of people feel this way. There is plenty of employment. Samurai used to be right out in the open. The government has its own stable of snipers. Maybe they aren't paid well enough freelance to go public. Govt pays with immunity. So there's that.
Powerful, Sharron. I've been struggling with how to respond; most of the commenters below have "stolen" my reactions. Something I did wonder about is a way to connect them even more (apologies if I'm overstepping), might be if there was just one guy in the second story.
Of course, each is a stand alone so work exquisitely as is (are?). In any case, Sharron: wonderful!
"As will theirs" ... will this story continue, I wonder....
Expertly done on both of these. Sharron, you’re master of the unsaid!
.. could never write a Gateway # 2 nor could I finish reading ‘Missoula’
That fits right in with the previous story. Assassins are a necessary lot.
#1 - "a spill of moonlight" - Wow, that's good! #2 - Oh, Wow! 👀

I’ll take the first gateway, please.
Poems: Salon power hair dryer with scorching moments of tangled webs to be brushed. Ouch.

I'm a little lost. Can you direct me to Gateway 1 please?
No, no. I said Gateway 1.
The second story - ah. So very true, all of their lives will be changed forever.
This sent chills through my bones.
The first one is so mystical and the second is so horrifying. Thank you for both realities!
