Short Story: Jack

"Jack" is a bizzare short story - but rather interesting nonetheless. To me it seemed like a cross gene - somewhere between fantasy, horror, and a bit of sci fi. It is a retelling of Robin Hood of sorts. Though, it doesn't reveal it till the end of the story, the narrator is the guard where the Robin Hood equivalent of Jack is held. In the story, Jack is a skilled thief in a world where the punishment is a "remaking" for example your limbs could be replaced with animal parts or engines if you did wrong. Throughout the story, the narrator tells his tales of how he supported Jack and tortured those who sold him out - in the end Jack is killed and the narrator reveals himself. Overall an interesting read and perhaps worth looking into the author's other works later.
