Comment from Paul Manton
I don't think I was supposed to laugh when I read this, so I apologize to the deceased! This works well - you can't do more than make a single humorous/ironic/sardonic/sadistic point in a 50 worder - and you have done it with aplomb.
Next thing is to work out where on my suggested shades of darkening comedy it actually falls.
In the end, I choose 'sardonic' because maybe the murder victim got what was coming - but he would have to borrow my lawnmower a VERY long time before I got that mad!
Really clever - and really funny!

This write has a sinister meaning me-thinks, could this be someone who has been troubling you and he is finally buried? I reckon this is a good flash fiction as you had me thinking here, love Dolly x

Excellent entry for the 50 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt contest.
You kept it short as you were supposed to and very comprehensive. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Ciao,
Reading the first two paragraphs I was thinking ..that's not how problems get resolved..one must deal with them.
Then I read the last paragraph and decided that yes the best solution to THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM was to bury it as deep as you can so no wolf or scavenger can find and eat it ...
leaving maybe some human remains to be find by someone who then calls the police..today forensic can do wonders with very little. (biggrin)
Engaging narrative!

Excellent. A clever idea with a sinister but very satisfying final part. This seems a strong entry and I wish you all the best of luck with the competition.
