People, because of the person I am, have said I'd be stoned during biblical times. Funnily, me being me, I'd often respond that I love being stoned... they never understood what I was referencing. It is what it is. I digress....
I have always thought of casting the first stone as being a sign of hypocrisy because, mostly, people that engage in such activities are usually not exactly lily white in their own lives.
Your story takes an interesting direction. I like how it unfolds. It is exceptionally well-written. You, as I am sure I've said before, never disappoint readers with substandard writing.
