The Book of Austin - Short Fiction
The Book of Austin
by T. Dalton
The boy was a monster. No other way to describe it. Now, ain't no one believed me then, and I don’t expect you to believe me now. Police say I’m a murderer. That I killed my own son, my own daughter. They’re wrong, and I’ll die being right. God, if there is one, knows how it all happened...

The story is solid. I could see the characters etc...but I think you have a lot of misspelled words and grammar issues. Overall its a good story.
its written with a southern accent. the misspellings and grammar are intentional

thanks for reading. happy you enjoyed it
