    About this ebook

    -Unwriting The Chisel’d Script-

    How can one redeem himself for a single act of cowardice?

    An act of cowardice that has cost the lives of twelve innocent people.

    A young man now finds himself on a quest for redemption in hopes to make amends for his failure to act when most needed.

    But he has been told that ‘You cannot unwrite that chisel’d script. It’s set in stone.’
    And yet, such advice has not stopped the young man in this obsessive pursuit.
    It has been a quest that has cost him far more than he could ever have imagined.
    Then finally, after three long years, he now hopes that his one chance for redemption has come at last.

    This time he knows he cannot fail.

It was not a large gun, seemingly much smaller than what any malevolent gunman must be carrying. But it should be enough. After all, it was not the size of the gun, but the element of surprise that really mattered. ‘A gun is no match against the element of surprise.’ He told himself.
