Comment from Acquired Taste
This is my kind of horror writing...really liked this. You twisted the end by using the phrase, "The unsuspecting fellow" thus putting your reader into a false sense of "ah, ha" then turned the tide, well, turned the blade. Nicely penned.....AT=/

I really enjoyed reading this really well written short story in this horror prompt entry. there can sometimes be a thin dividing line between victim and prey, good choice of accompanying pic

Comment from Ric Myworld
It's always fun reading these short stories or flash fiction that use so few words trying to say and express so much. It isn't and easy task. Great job. :-)

Comment from PatVallesMangan
This certainly well fits the Horror genre meets the Flash fiction prompt. I liked the total twist at the end ... totally not expected. You have quite a well working imagination, and you got a lot across in so few words. Good luck in the contest. Blessings! ~ Pat

LOL! Thank you Padumachitta for another inspiring review. I must be getting a little better at editing LOL! It is cold and grey this morning here as well in Houston Tx. God bless and send me some of that coffee please.
Comment from Drew Delaney
The twist at the end was not expected at all. Not sure about being prey, but I suppose it is for blood or about the fellow doing the same to himself because of thinking himself that he would be found guilty. I don't read these kind of things, so I am left to my imagination. You wrote a lot in few words. Drew

The imagination is the most wonderful of things don't you think? He was a serial killer who ended up meeting his match. Thank you for another most inspiring review my friend. God bless!
Comment from Glasstruth
Very exciting. With so few words you've introduced mystery, fear and the horror of killing. Yes, indeed it's savage, but written so well. Good luck with the contest. Les

Comment from Jay Squires
Fabulous Flash fiction, Neonewman. Horror at its most horrific!
A few concerns:
with the deadbolt, with a gentle twist [A run-on sentence: you need punctuation other than a comma after deadbolt, or use a conjunction such as and after the comma.]
The unexpected fellow [The UNSUSPECTING fellow
Good job, my friend.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Nice twist at the end of this gory, creepy story. Good entry. You might want to correct the verb tenses in that last line, though.
As I die within this stranger's arms I became his prey.
SHOULD read:
As I DIED within this stranger's arms I became his prey.
OR
As I die within this stranger's arms I BECOME his prey.
The first choice is better, since the rest of the story is in past tense.

Comment from alexisleech
Well done! It's not easy to fill the readers imagination with so few words, but you have managed it here. To be honest, having looked at the image, I thought it was the story about someone who had been gagging for a cigarette, and eventually succumbed after a decade of abstinence! That has to be the sign of a good writer, because it can be interpreted differently from it's original concept. Alexis x
