Brief Synopsis
My writing group was given a prompt: "Write a story about a kid on a bike." This is that story. Brutal and not for the timid this is not for the faint of heart.
Author Notes
I wanted to explore a character well outside my comfort zone. This story is not your regular kid on a bike tale. Warning given.

Mercy Manic : ************************ SPOILER WARNING!!! ************************ Well done! It makes me sad that this story reminds me of my hometown. Kids who are hardened crimminals before the age of ten were pretty common in Baton Rouge. The fact that this child can commit murders without flinching, yet is still young/naive enough to not understand why he can't take the gun.... Wow! Disturbing, but really good. (21-Oct-06)
