Have You Seen This? - A...

Steven A. McKay

"Have you seen this?" An innocent enough question, asked millions of times around the world every day, but tonight it will lead to a shocking, violent event that destroys multiple lives.
Glaswegian forklift truck driver Jack is quietly enjoying his tea break when a friend shows him something on the internet. Outrage follows, quickly spreading through social media, and within hours an angry mob has formed to put the world to rights. Modern justice is soft, as Jack knows, so perhaps it's time things were done like they were in the good old days...
Steven A. McKay is the bestselling author of numerous historical fiction novels and short stories including The Druid, The Heathen Horde, and Wolf's Head. "Have You Seen This?" is his first foray into the modern thriller genre and is every bit as powerful as his previous tales, making the reader ponder the very nature of our present reality, and just where technology is leading us.
Enjoy this gripping short story that will leave you questioning humanity's place in the future and, more worryingly, whether it's too late to do anything about it...
Based on a real event.
"A cracking tale!" ***** - David's Book Blurg
