We find ourselves quoting one of your fellow writers, @hopestylit, who comments on this story:
We should always try to control our anger and also we should not be the ones to provoke someone to anger.
This story focuses on rage and violence, on controlling the urge to be violent. The scenario you present certainly seems to justify self defense. However, taking pleasure in violence, no matter the circumstance, certainly is not to be applauded. The last line, in which Lucas grins, seems to belie his earlier regret at being violent.
You address the prompt in a unique way. A rule against violence: when is it necessary to break that? Is it possible to keep to that rule absolutely?
Thank you for sharing this story with us. As always, we ask that you avoid stories in which violence is the central component. We remind you to comment on the stories of at least two other authors in the community. Thank you!
Sure, I appreciate your careful analysis of this story. Thank you for pointing out the no violence thing again, I'll adhere to them.
Already did that, they're a lot of amazing stories I can't stop reading them...
