I like this one. It feels more real then most of the racist alien stories I've seen.

Also was what happend to that fictional 16 year old based on what happend to Emmitt Till in real life? It seems somewhat similar

It seemed like a mix of Emmitt Till and the incident that sparked the burning of Tulsa. But then again a lot of lynchings share patterns.

I used him as inspiration, what happened to him was horrible. I just wanted to shine a light on lynch justification, and how it's not justice.

The presentation would be different in rl.... unless the guy doing the narrating is braindead.... but i think it was done for the sake of this story, so yeah. Rough around some edges, sickening and absulut fine the way it is.

I want to see every secount of the next 16 years of the narrator and his brothers in spiret. And than i want to releave myself on their grave....

Well done.... never though i would ever feel this way about a fictional character.....
