The German Suitcase by Greg Dinallo

3 Stars

An old suitcase is pulled from the trash by a young, female marketing agent. Wanting to use the suitcase to launch a new ad campaign, she sets out to find the owner. What she finds is that the owner and the luggage are Holocaust survivors. Giving permission to open the suitcase, the owner relives some of his harshest memories. With a shocking twist at the end, the story makes us question what it means to really be a war criminal and what one person would do to save another.

I thought the idea behind this story was really good. I enjoyed the storyline itself, however...the editing left much to be desired. There were many grammatical errors and punctuation errors that drove me bananas. If the writing and editing had been a little better, I may have given this 4 stars.
