um...this was pure insanity. But I loved it, or course. You have a great mind for creating intricate details which add so much to the stories. Good job!

This was a good story. I was looking for more of a "Let's kill Karen" type of story. You gave good details about other things and people. Once again, in my opinion the "Let's kill Karen element is missing.

    The contest is over. I am the one who wrote the contest. I said I had to be dead, not that had to kill me. In this story I was dead and had been for years.The stories were delightful and full of imagination. I won't tell you my favorite.:-)

Your story was a fun read. There were so many unexpected twists! I love how you take the quiet life of Milton Monroe and turn it on its head when the body is found in his shed. The writing is solid. This is easy to read and easily kept my interest. Great job.

This is an amusing story, but you didn't actually kill Karen as the contest suggests. You killed Walter, who certainly deserved it. Maybe that is what saved Karen. Right?

    Thank you for reading. The contest requires that Karen die or be dead in the story and that her death impact it. Milton is very much his momma's son. Someone got killed in the story, and there was humor in it. I think I got everything. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. How's Josh coming with the house?

This story is told in such a way that makes it humorous in spite of the dead body in the shed and all the details about Milton's mother. The only thing I'd question was it seemed int placed it went into first person rather than third person as it started and sometimes it changed from past tense to present. May it was meant to be this way.

Wow! Pretty detailed work, what with all the part time jobs, and all.
Seems to be error-free. Good work.
What I didn't quite get was how Walter died and came to be in Milton's shed.
Good luck in the contest.

Hello, Karen.... First, I absolutely loved the humorous photo and it set the mood for the story. It was so engaging and I chuckled as it flowed along. Well done! I'm looking forward to reading so much more.

Hugs, Carol

You killed Walter, not once but twice, but not Karen. I haven't entered this competition but I thought it was Karen we were supposed to knock off. It's a good, humorous yarn you've told here, though. Good luck with the contest.

    His mother, Karen, died in the story. She only has to die in the story. We don't actually have to kill her. How could I kill her?

    Oh, thanks for that. I misunderstood the rules. It's a great story.
