Excellent chapter. Seen no mistakes. Writing was interesting.

"The baby! Oh God, mom ..."

Mellissa darted for the kitchen, while something unspeakable popped and sizzled in the oven.

What a wicked, twisted sense of humor this story contains. Pop! Sizzle! Pop! Cooked baby. Now, who's staying for dinner? Notes are very interesting, and you know, can actually see this happening. This will do especially well in this contest.

    Thank you, Brett. Wicked, twisted and sick was definitely what I was shooting for, so I guess I pulled off at least that much, lol. This has happened before, my friend, and on more than one occasion, unfortunately. Dementia, Alzheimer's...deadly diseases in more ways than one.
    Much obliged for your positive feedback.

A Tiny Tales of Terror Contest entry "Hey, Ma-What's for Supper?" What an odd story you have told here. Eat her up. Y-U-M-M-M-M? Well, what imagination we have. Well done.

Okay, this is just about perfect timing. (Don't ask.) Tiny Tales of Terror don't get more terrifying (or at least horrifying). I do not have a single six left, but I sure wish I did. There's not a thing to correct in this highly polished, chilling and perfectly paced story, IMO - it's fabulous!

What a contrast between innocence and a homey atmosphere and the reality of brutal insanity. Even the name Melissa sounds sweet. Well, we do always say "I could just eat you' and flippant remarks like that but this author made it a little too (throw-up-almost) graphic. :)
I can't find a problem with grammar, spelling or any of those sort of things though.

Hey, Mom what's for supper? indeed Melissa must have been shocked seeing the baby in the oven, what a horror story. Good luck at the contest. God bless you, lakeport.

    Thank you, lakeport. Do you wanna the know the most horrifying aspect of this story? It's actually happened, and on more than one occasion.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Only you... Only you cold take something so utterly disgusting, so shamefully unthinkable, and turn it into something entertaining. No matter what it is that dwells in your darkness, no matter how shocking it is, no matter how wrong, you always handle it with the utmost of macabre aplomb. How much more convincing do you need that you're destined for bigger things?

This was one of the biggest piles of disgusting, horrific filth that I've ever had the pleasure of reading. One of your best.

Damn you, sir. And bless you.

--Mr. Dark

    Heh-heh to be blessed and damned in the same breath is a bit of a paradox I should think, Mr. Dark. But don't think for one moment that I don't appreciate it -- I do. At least you blessed me last, lol.
    This was intended, if you'll pardon the shameless pun, all in good taste, and I attempted to make it as non-offensive as I possibly could. However, there seems to be so many here on this very site who choose to refuse to believe that madness truly does exist in our world, and things like this can and do happen. Life isn't always about God, flitting fairies, cute toddlers and butterflies. Sometimes...occasionally, evil tends to rear it's ugly head and bare it's face to an unsuspecting humanity.
    Thanks for the stellar review and your most generous six star rating, Mr. Dark. I certainly appreciate the fact, more than anything else, that you seem to "get it."

Author: OMG!! Mom was evidently psychotic, thinking the baby was the chicken to roast for dinner and rocking the chicken as if it were a baby. This was creepy, masterful and should be a great contender for the contest. Fresh idea, creative and presented in slow creep movements. Brilliant work! This is six-star-worthy but I have only five stars to offer to day along with your virtual six. Good luck in the contest! livelylinda

A simple effective idea for a horror micro story.

Well told with artwork and writing, fitting well the horror format.

Good luck in the competition mystery writer. Hah! Hah!

    Flash fiction stories and micro fiction always work better if much is left up to the imaginations and interpretation of the reader.
    Thanks very much for the review.
