I'm not just nitpicking about that one thing, I did read the entire story. On the whole, I thought it was quite clever. The subject matter is near and dear to my heart as well. I always enjoy reading stories or watching films where this type of scumbag gets what's coming to them.

One critique: I thought that the description of Gramps at the beginning was a bit overblown. It would have made for a cleaner paragraph to simply say that he was dressed all in black. Otherwise, I thought it was quite a fine job. I'll be reading the rest of your stories as well, when I have more time. Good work.

Oh, and I think that "Absolution" works better for the title.
Thank you :)
I think you are right on the "Just Desserts" thing. I will fix that :)
