This is a nice short story with a bit of a twist. It would have been nice if there had been more of an element of surprise to the ending though. The set up in the first half telegraphs the ending. Still, a nice entry for this contest. Good luck in the voting!

Thanks for taking the time to read and write a review for my micro story, Gerald. I appreciate your comments, and thanks for the good luck wish with the voters. I guess I did remove the surprise, or was it all a trick by the boy to surprise his mom? Could be either, I guess. Thanks so much!

For such a few words you have written a very compelling story.Hopefully, Robbie was not eaten by Zombies, but one can never be too sure what you will run into in cellars.
Good luck in the contest.

The kid doesn't watch too much Walking dead. If he were watching too much Walking Dead, he'd be hearing moaning and groaning coming from beneath the dirt floor in the cellar. Not evil laughter. The zombies on AMC's hit television series do not even speak, much less laugh. In fact, I don't believe that I've ever heard a zombie laugh in any film, unless of course one happened to be a Dan O'Bannon type of zombie of The Return of the Living Dead fame. They're the ones who made zombies craving human brains a household item.

Good story...poor Robbie.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Thanks for your review, Dean. I guess Mommy should watch the Walking Dead So she knows about zombies. Of course, the kid could have been giving his mom the old prank. Thanks for your zombie lesson. I'll remember they don't laugh. LOL

I have read quite a lot just today of the one hundred word stories. All of you are so clever and this is most amazing as I could remember being scared to go downstairs. Genius story.

Hi there,

It isn't easy to complete one of these stories in 100 words, especially a horror type one. Good tension in the piece and the dialogue felt weighty.

Good ending.
All the best

Thank you for this great review for my micro story, GMG. I truly appreciate your comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed the ending and felt there was some tension. I guess I goofed up and was informed by Mr Horror that zombies don't laugh. Oh well. LOL
Thanks for your best wishes.

you cant end it like that LOL. That's a great conclusion. You definitely have the reader still thinking once the piece has ended. You have done well with this writing prompt. Especially given it is not the easiest. Again great job
