This is a short story I did for my fiction workshop class. It's set in King's Row, although that's not really important. The file is in .pdf format, so you can download it or view it. Critiques and responses are encouraged! (Especially suggestions on weak points of the story.)

Neat.

A few suggestions:

"I'm broke." - I wasn't sure for a bit who was speaking; maybe change it to "I said I'm broke." to clarify.

"...incriminate..." - I think you mean either "recriminate" or some word like "blame".

"...while Jesus sweat blood..." - Should be "sweated".

"...knelt down to wash Holden’s feet." - This is a bit unusual for someone to do; maybe Holden's feet are injured? Or maybe the water from the ice cube drips onto his feet.
