Overview
Dual Action is a short story about a dying gangster, confronted by two mysterious figures in his final moments. It's sort of a Reservoir Dogs meets Christmas Carol type of story, where the main character is forced to face his own mortality and define the meaning of life. He's tormented by guilt and repentance and must come to term with who he really is. It's a fun twist on the gangster genre.
