Ah, Lizzie tomorrow, Mary the day after...

This was chilling stuff, Pam. Piano wire strung 'round the neck, that can nearly decapitate a victim. Not that I would know from personal experience, or anything...

Well, gotta' go, Mary's waiting, heh-heh...

    Yep. I often go through the horror section to see if any of my favorite writers here have done anything in my beloved genre. And, lo and behold, I typed in "Gungalo", and look what popped up, LOL...

    LOL horror section? Where?
reply by Dean Kuch on 14-Oct-2013
    When you go to FanStory's home page, if you scroll all the way down and look to your left, you'll see a "categories" section. There's spiritual, Horror, Love Poems, etc. So, say if you wanted to know whether or not Dean Kuch ever wrote any Love Poems. You click on that category, type in the name of the author, and, viola!

What a sad poem about a man brutally killing an innocent girl just because her name started with his desired letter. He is a psychopath. After killing, all he can think about is his shoes making noise,rain hitting his cheeks etc. Well written but tragic. Debbie

So you have a bit of a dark side as well. I've written of the serial killer's mind more than once. You've made this artistic and suspenseful with your choice of words. Great read.

Now this is a great piece of flash fiction. It opens with suspense, reaches a climax, and leaves the ending open.

It's amazing that the ending opens up ideas of a story in which ten women were killed, all with the same M-O.

It makes the scene at the beginning seem so minuscule if not for the fact that it presents what happened 10 times before. But I wonder, could the other murders have been more difficult? Is this the first one that may lead to a clue? Is there something about Lizzy that will interrupt the ease at which this serial killer is progressing?

That's what an excellent flash fiction is about.

Very interesting topic for you, my friend. I found it a very exciting read, and enjoyed the anxiety of the girl and the thrill the murderer felt as he walked in the rain. The picture definitely was a great addition to this piece.

Excellent and very chilling poem about a sociopath serial killer, the images are amazing so is the style and psychological description, it is truly chilling. WOW.

When he was merely a hair's breath away

she turned suddenly and gasped ...

it was the last breath she'd ever take.

I don't like scary.

Aside from content, this was a smooth, well plotted, perfect diction, surprising (mostly on account I didn't expect this) tale.

I'm kinda speechless...I really didn't expect this. It's really well done, just didn't expect it. : )

Oooh this was downright thrilling and very nasty to say the least Gunga. Very well written and the imagery created by the words drew this reader straight in. Nicely narrated and told a story of horror for not only Kathleen, but Lizzy, Mary, Nelly, Olga, Pamela, Q..okay I am stopping at Q...too hard that one!
Great write and good luck in this flash fiction contest with a very well presented entry.
I liked the ending the best and these bits:
"from shadows that danced on the walls"
"When he was merely a hair's breath away"
Very well done and nice to see you attack something gory.
Cheers closet xoxo
