Uuuuu, oh please no dear Dean, don't you dare to go to that bath tub, no matter how insistent that phone rings...Simple, just move out, or do you like dead people?

Hi Dean:)
I consider this another winning horror story. Too bad you didn't get in the contest.

I like the way you set the atmosphere: an old Paris apartment with bad plumbing, strange phone calls for Nina, then a spooky phone call from, Nina after your narrator learns that Nina drown in that building a year ago.

Now the final sound of bath water being drawn, although the narrator is alone. He,y I 'm glad this isn't a 100 word review. I could write another page of praise. I'm glad you're back.

I'm sorry that the site wouldn't allow you to post this for the contest. It would seem to me that if someone enters a contest, and isn't supposed to use their own name on it, then why would it count against their total? It's not even their work until they are allowed to claim it. is it? Oh, well, we are at the mercy of those who direct our time on FS. Thanks for another fine story. You have really got me to enjoying the idea of really short stories. Thanks :-)

Thanks for the positive response, Ric. That was the whole point of starting this series in the first place--to get people interested in flash and micro fiction, particularly in the horror genres.
I appreciate it.

I guess Nina wants what Nina wants. Loved the sound effects with this poem. For a moment I wondered where the ringing was coming from. LOL Hey, it's ONLY Nina. Good job telling a story in only 100 words. Don't know how you do it!

Oh, oh. As they said in "Jaws," "Don't go in the water!" This is an effective tiny tale of horror. You set up the premise and with one hundred words you invite the reader into this Parisian world of terror. I like the open ending which invites the reader to imagine the worse.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you success in the prompt. Welcome back to FanStory. I hope your vacation was a good one.

Oh, the power of that Nina. The narrator will surely succumb to her desire for company. Hope she was a looker. You make the most of the limited word count in this, getting in all the essentials. Great description of Nina's voice. judi
