for just over a thousand words you sure do pack a lot in.

I enjoyed the overall tone and think it would work up well into something longer but, for me, as it is it feels truncated, restrained.

There is little in the way of scene setting or world-building and that is fine for readers vetrsed in Western lore from watching films or reading books, but to those not so familiar it may feel a little white room.

The idea of the MC being on a secret mission is interesting, b ut definitely one which needs more space to make work, here it added a curlicue which detracted from the nice straight line story of a man avenging his brother.

hope any of that is useful and please be ensured I throroughly enjoyed the read.
