Poor Max; he should have just took his money and started a new life elsewhere. You completely surprised me with the twist though, I thought he was going to run a person through the saw and as the story went on I came to think he was go to do so in the name of art. It would have been ironic if there had been a canvas nearby and that the bloodspatter had resulted in a critically acclaimed final piece for him XD

Anyway, I really liked the story. I didn't find it scary in the slightest, but I did find it very sad and with the great moral of let your children do what they want with their lives (within reason, of course). This will make a great addition to the site :)

I only noticed one error. The text will repeat and the correction will be italicized:

Sometimes in took him numerous sessions, and the butt of the cigarette was chewed away, but he kept telling himself that it was worth it.
