User blog comment:PUMPED4FRUIT&DAIRY/Pasta Noir: Dames, Slugs, and the Hatchetman/@comment-9584883-20150227143752

Thanks for the review and critique of my story. Apparently it really struck a nerve with you two. I realize it's not for everybody. Just want to clarify something about the title.

The Term "Hatchetman" was a general term in old noir for a murderer. If you knew anything about noir, you would know that.

Also, I wrote what I know. I lost my Daughter 3 years ago due to heart and pulminary disease(March 4th) and did go through a lot of depression. Writing this was my way of dealing with it. I don't know if you have children or not. From what I have read, it doesn't sound like it. As a Father, I hope you never have to know the feeling of loosing a child. It truly is the greatest loss you can suffer. In the comments I wrote this story was for the creepypasta readers. Yes I did. But this was part of  my therapy... It's not perfect and I accept that.

I wanted to write something not really creepy, but something that came from my soul (which it did).

Chris and Michael are both me at different times in life. Consider Michael me before loosing my Daughter and Chris me afterward.

I realize this story isn't perfect. It's not meant to frighten... just entertain. Ok so it wasn't entertaining to you or your friend. I accept that. There are a lot of readers and writers who would beg to differ though. I knew when I wrote it, there would be a few people who would say "This sucks bro!!" as you cannot please everybody. You may see yourself as a better writer but have you written a novella? Not trying to bash you here buddy. Maybe you are a better writer. I don't know as I rarely read other people's work. When I do, even if I don't like it, I don't go out of my way to tear it apart. I usually try to leave constructive critisism. But I do thank you for your honesty.

I'm not trying to outwrite you or anybody else. Just what was in my heart, plus I needed to write this for myself. Believe it or not, since writing this story, I'm not so much of a mess anymore. I've even applied and will be interviewing soon to work as a Missing Persons Agent for S.A.P.D.

If people genuinely enjoy my story, great. If not, well better luck next time.

So, thank you for your long, honest review of my story. if anything, you have just drawn more attention to it. So, for that thank you. Enjoy your time here and I hope you continue to find other works that impress you. Good luck to you and your friend. See you around the wikia.
