Horror Revisited

Published by at 7:43 PM under Comm 208

Armed assailants gave Barney Joseph Jr what his father never received,  a second chance at life.  Last night around  8:30 pm, two masked men entered BJ’s Drug, 450 Stanley Street.  A minute later, without incident the pair made off with close to $400.

Though having a pistol handy, the local shopkeeper choose not to employ it. When asked why he made the decision he replied, “…I’d rather part with my money than my life.” A solemn reminder  of Joseph’s father, Barney Joseph Sr.,  who lost his life at that very store 25 years earlier. The senior Joseph murdered resisting a similar robbery.

    “Assailants” suggests BJ was beaten. Do you know that? At this point we only know they’re robbers.

    I like that you are going for the “different” and taking chances in your leads. You just need to be careful with making inferences. Stick to what you know.
