Great twist ending - I honestly did not see it coming :-) You build suspense as well as one can with a 200 word limit, and you explain the situation well. A solid flash fiction horror story. Brooke :-)

    Brooke,

    Glad you enjoyed the thriller. It is hard to build up the suspense with so few words. I keep practicing, hoping I'll get it right. Thanks again...Carol

    Becky,

    Surprise endings are so much fun, but working them into such a short story is difficult. Glad you enjoyed. Smiles, Carol

Another excellent revival which it was fun to read again. Thanks for reposting it.

This is great flash fiction with a wonderful twist at the end. You built the suspense and then it seemed everything was fine and the story was going nowhere and then you zapped us with that chilling last line. I didn't see it coming. Good job.

This was one of the scariest stories I've read so far. I love the twist at the end. You built up the terror bit by bit which made it more exciting. I think this should be one of the frontrunners in the contest. Best of luck.

I found no errors.

Top entry; didn't second guess that one. Very creepy when you consider the "you never know your neighbour/relation/friend" factor in these situations. Excellent. Good luck in the contest, Carol. Cheers. Ash.

    I'm ecstatic that I could actually pull off one of these micro fiction stories..I tend to get too wordy sometimes. Thank you so much. Carol

Okay, so that was way creepy!!! Scary!!! You really did a nice job on this horror piece. The twist at the end was really good and I had no idea that was coming. I am glad I do not have to ride the bus at night:) Good luck in the contest, Dana
