I am not a professional editor - yet - and I don't know how they compare to the rest of the slush pile, but 'Chickenshit' will stay with me for the rest of my life as an immensely powerful story. I am not usually a short story reader, but with one or two exceptions, I've always found yours thoughtprovoking and challenging.
I've more or less given up trying to send mine out, though, since there are so few markets and hundreds of writers competing for each slot, and the couple I've written aren't particularly spectacular anyway.
