Sacrifice

The reluctant terrorist

I recently read Le Carre's 'A Most Wanted Man' (a great read) and it got me thinking about the whole terrorism thing, about those caught up in it from both sides - the perpetrators and those tasked with tracking them down. Who are the innocent and who are the guilty? Maybe it's not always as clear cut as we think.

I wanted to explore a situation that expresses that idea, so I put pen to paper and came up with 'The Last Train'. It's a short story about a young man far from home, struggling with the enormity of what he's been asked to do. It's free, and you can read it at www.scott-hunter.net/pdf/The_Last_Train_by_Scott_Hunter.pdf

If you enjoy it, please RT- if you didn't, let me know why and retweet anyway!

The ultimate sacrifice

This is Easter weekend, recalling a time when another young man was similarly faced with a desperate choice; Jesus' sacrifice is remembered by thousands of christians across the globe as perhaps the ultimate selfless act. Why did he do it? What was it all for? How can it possibly be relevant to us today? I have a lot of information about that if anyone wants to drop me a line.

Have a wonderful Easter - and enjoy your reading!
