Short but powerful story.

This story follows up on the story 'The Jew Among Thorns' from Grimm's Fairy Tales.

I never understood why the servant had to make the towns people hang the Jew. That servant guy was to blame in that story. But he had powers which he could have used even if he was harmed. But he just uses them to kill a Jew for merry.

This story avenges that guy, and is say he had a rather quick death for his crimes. (

This ebook short story may have gotten me addicted to tor.com. It is a historical fiction with some science fiction elements. I greatly enjoyed it. I would recommend. (
