Story at Flashing in the Gutters

I wrote a short story and submitted it to Flashing the Gutters and it's posted! It's called Thy Brother's Life and it's sort of a be-careful-what-you-wish-for story. One of the things I've observed about noir and hardboiled fiction -- you don't see too many stories by women in that genre. Interesting. But sometimes I want to tell a story that's a little darker -- sometimes, as Switchfoot says, "the shadows prove the sunshine." Not that I'm claiming this story is resonating with great themes or anything, but I think it has its moments. Let me know what you think. You can leave comments on the story or here.
