I've read a few of these posts from the Flash Fiction Club. You guys are rockin' it. You managed to pack a little scene into your two sentences. I'm sensing solitude, fear, and the realization that some prison sentences are forever. I did not watch the full movie but that trailer was awesome. I can see how it would inspire your post.

Never mind Maria, I wouldn't even attempt to write horror, it's difficult for sworn romantic to write horror, so well done, it reminded me of the John Donne, "Stone walls do not a prison make, nor steel bars a cage" but could you imagine being buried in a coffin, that's petty horrific, well done blessings, Roy

Oh I saw that and it was the most destrubing I had seen in a long time. Yes this would be very terrorizing. Nicely done in two sentences

Omigosh, this is certainly scary. I'm glad I'm reading it in the daylight. You've tapped on a fear a lot of people have, being buried alive. I can't think of anything worse, and you've painted a very vivid picture with your words. Well done.

MJ,

Well, since I'm terribly claustrophobic, this is definitely horrifying to me. *smile* The only issue I might have with your piece is the use of the word 'soft' to describe the wood. hmmm... I'd reconsider that, maybe?

Thanks and good luck!

Maria, You did a really good job with this contest entry. You used very good scary thought words and very good imagery. I am like you as I don't do horror. When I was younger I enjoyed scary movies and stuff, but not anymore thanks to the Lord. Great job my friend! Best wishes in the contest! love, Teri

It is amazing that in 2 short sentences you achieved the goals of the writing. I was surprised that you commented that you couldn't write horror but you actually did. It was short, it was precise and entertaining. Well done for someone who didn't think they could write horror. Thanks.

Your writing seems to get better. The love the way you described the empty place she is in, making it frightening. Her prison frightens me. Doom with no help and alone is something everyone can identify with.

This is a fearful write and after reading your author's notes it has much more resonance and you wrote something filled with horror here as it must be everyone's nightmare! Good luck with it, love Dolly x
