Hi Cookie! Thanks! I am very happy you liked this, I worked really hard on it and of course, it won't do as well. Seems the harder I try, the more I mess something up! ") I sure hope you are keeping warm??? I am shivering as I type this...Luv, Susan

That's a great little story. I'm glad both of you came to your senses. I hope you still have Merle and a new cell phone.

HI Delta!! I have horses, old Merle is just a character! BUT we have had a couple of horses that were stubborn. For thirty years,they have eaten us out of house and home! But it's what I love. Riding and well, everything about it, except WINTER chores. It's awful now. I hope you are keeping warm!! And thank you for this kind and most welcome reivew!! HUG! Susan
Comment from psalmist
Great story, and I love the voice of the main character. I could hear his twang in my head. Merle kind of reminds me of some of the students I work with, they can hear, they just don't want to work! I kind of hoped Merle and Joe would stick it out a little longer together. Fun story, good luck in the contest.

Hi again! Well they did a bit more tussling, but I thought I had 800 words and cut it too much. Of course I could be wrong, I have had no sleep and counted it by "Hand"? Lord I'm beat. Thank you for a great review! You are very kind and encouraging too...Hang in there with your kids!!? xoxo...Keep warm!! Susan
Comment from BethShelby
I guess this reinforces the adage, stubborn as a mule. I love the language your character used because it really developes his character. It sounds so natural.
Ok, I reread this and now you have enough words and I love the way you end this. Good luck in the contest. It is a great entry.

Beth, this was just barely started, I didn't have a preview option and it posted when I tried to save it? Please wait and read it later if you will? I hate this editor...now I don't have disable either. I have just started this...now you will see just a bunch of q's...I just wiped it out. God. ")

Susan,
I'm going to dub you queen of flash fiction. You story is top notch and an excellent entry in the flash fiction contest. In a minimum amount of words for a maximum effect you established a setting, conflict, and a resolution to your story. The language is appropriate in my opinion. I take it Merle is a mule. Good luck in the contest, my friend.
Melissa.

I enjoyed reading your short story. I have met stubborn, not in a mule, but in teenage sons and it's no fun. I wonder if there's a market to sell them? (LOL)
