I've got goosebumps! Your story certainly has a surprise ending. I was expecting a 'Three Bears Ending.'
I liked the story and your picture complements it.
Good luck in the contest.

You have indeed embarked upon a difficult genre. So little words a story must convey. You did well, engaging in a good start, leaving with a scary ending. Your twist was good. I wish you well in the contest.

I'm a little confused at to what happened.
Did the front door slam or did something slam against it?
I'm assuming an animal ate whoever made the stew.

    "Startled by a slam against the door, I sprang from bed, . . . " The traveler learned there are things in the wilderness that he never knew existed. Thanks for taking time to read my story. Yes, I like to make the reader do a little thinking for themselves by leaving things so that they can go more than one way. Letting them decide how they hope things turn out. Your generous review is greatly appreciated. :-)

What a way to end a story! This is really good, you have a good start and detail that builds to the climax with a wolf in the room with the possible limb of the owner of the cabin. Hmm, how do you get out of that one? Excellent, and good luck! xx

    Thank you so much, Sandra Mitchell, for taking time to read my story. Yes, the leg belongs to the owner of the cabin, but the traveler will soon learn about things in the woods that he never knew existed. LOL! Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. :-)

Oops, something was seriously wrong with whomever owns this cabin. I'd be anxious to get the heck out of there. This is an excellent flash fiction contest entry. The artwork picture is a perfect compliment to your story! I wish you good luck,,,,,,Jim

This story had me wanting more. It reminded me a little of little red riding hood, but an adult version. The picture you chose for your story looks inviting. Well done.

Awesome way to end a well spent day.

Knowing you are about to become dinner, as exemplified by the bloody leg.

That imagery is top notch.

Should make for an interesting entry into this contest.

Uh-oh.
This story gives a whole new meaning to the term, I'm having an old friend for dinner, especially when you're about to become the main entree.
YIKES!
Good little horror short.
I hope you do very well in the contest.
Dessert, anyone?
