Story about a thief who doesn't hesitate to kill people if he has to, and how a mere sight of vultures drive him toward his own death!"It's his choice" is a single short story for quick, half an hour read. It 's about a teen who chose the wrong path of racism. What are the troubles and consequences he had to face? Did he find a solution to his problem? What did he eventually realize? What did he choose in the end? This is my first story I wrote few years back. So, please excuse me for any mistakes. I made it really simple and brief by writing in a more 'story telling' style. This is a long story trimmed to just above 4000 words. the reason i did that is because I didn't want to bore the readers with elaborate story writing in a 'wrong way'. Reviews and suggestions from readers and other authors will be appreciated. I want to know if you think i'm good enough to continue writing novels, Thank you.
