Not bad, though the human repeating the persistence hunter part broke the immersion at the end. More realistic dialogue works way better. Something like "nobody fucks with a human and gets to die old."

he was quoting the bartender's own words back since he had heard them before when he was trying to talk the punks into not attacking humans

[@sapereaude6274]

Yeah that would have been far more trite

0:58 We improvise. You see that severed hand of your friend's arm? *Stabs with the sharp point of the bone* Whoops! Hand slipped.

An interesting story. The ending was obvious in its own way, though interesting that it doesn't involve the group who were just in the bar, instead being something that was coming. That said, might have been neat to see them leave just as this person got there, let them hear and dismiss the story, only to show them cowed by her power, and miss the human killing her as they scampered off the moment she showed up. That said, overall, a good message. Bounty hunters and other such types can't rely on high tech forever. Not if you're going to visit bars like this. You can't hide behind a better ship, or even a personal shield generator, since those have to come down to enjoy life, and it's in those moments that a human will find you and 'balance the books' against those who have wronged them. Good bartender story too, just because I like it when you see someone who was in the life just because of circumstances. They didn't participate, didn't go do the deeds themselves, but they ARE culpable in the events that transpired, so when they make their choice, you instead hurt them, to show there IS a cost, and so they spread it around, warning the next person away. I also like that this isn't a peace keeper thing. The humans only go after those who hurt them, they're not trying to force their morality on other species, not trying to free people just because they're there. A few too many of these have humans try and force their morality on others. Bad as its implementation CAN be, there's a reason for Starfleet's General Order 1, otherwise known as the Prime Directive.

Get out of Dodge isn't a phrase I would expect an alien to know, since his only experience with humans is when they took his eye out.

What ever you people may think about this story It is as a stand-alone story not connected to anything a great story Yes if you starts to compare it to others Well sure it has likenesses to other story's but i would say that you'll be hard pressed to find something that doesn't have atleast a fleeting resemblance to an other story So holster your opinions and just see it for what it is a good story about survival love loss and revenge Just take it for what it is just saying 🇧🇻

[@RustyEcks]

Great story. Happy the human got his boyfriend back. Those thugs in the beginning better be careful.

Good Story until "the message " was inserted

In literally everything.

If you PAID KZbin would not play those stinking advertisements.

@@Erin-Thor advertisements are acceptable it's a Critical Drinker quote

"I can believe in alien bartenders and ultra advanced cleaning tech in a back water world but I REFUSE to believe gay people can exist in that universe"

Good except their alien boyfriend part! Should've been some kind of dance off, right? WTF

[@johnnycampbell3422]

If it was just written to be organic or germane to the story. But no, it's just "the message".

It has to be added to every story. Great story up to that point.

[@scotts918]

Boo-hoo, the closeted man - oops I mean "homophobe" feels outed. Darling, learn to love yourself, come out of the closet, and embrace who you truly are 😉😘

Every time, without fail. The stories come from Reddit where they HAVE to do it to not be banned.

Thumbs down

[@edhenderson1655]

I agree with sigmar4564. This was a really good story until "the message" was introduced. I left the story at that point.

[@MagnanimousEntropy]

It really does ruin everything.
