Shooting Dogs for Fun and Profit November 25, 2007 "Shooting Dogs" is a humor/horror/gangster romp based on an unproduced ten-minute play of mine. ChiZine/Chiaroscuro was nice enough to publish it in October 2007, and there it remains, archived until whenever. A bit of a postmortem for the story is available here, but it might kill any magic you thought was there.
