Well, this works well in 50 words or less. I find it much harder to use fewer words than to write a 500-word story. Do you? anyway, you did a good job in placing your character from one bad situation to another.

Thanks, rockinm

My first reaction to waking up under a tree was, 'this is truly horrible.' But I laughed at the pack of wolves. I'm not sadistic. The wolves were so unexpected and so bad, leaving no possible way out, that I laughed at my shock. This story is pure horror.

Thank you, LJ. Most didn?t get the dark humor.

I really enjoyed your spooky and creepy tale. It fits the Halloween theme perfectly in my opinion. I found myself instantly drawn in and on the edge of my seat. You skillfully wove this tale together with cleverness and perfect pacing. Thank you for providing such an intriguing read.

Thank you, Writer, for the enthusiastic and encouraging review.

Yep, that would do it ... a pack of wolves showing up. That could really happen too. I can only imagine the horror. Great imagery! Well-chosen photo. And, a great contest entry :)

Hi there,
Well, it's good that his worst fear wouldn't be realised, although I'd hardly call this turn of events a silver lining! lol
Great job with this short piece.
Good job

Thanks for giving this a look. Yes, the options are a bit limited and neither the lesser evil.
Comment from knowledge
Well, that is that! What a great ending. The crazy thing is that I'm laughing. You led us to believe that he was going to freeze to death, which would have been painless. But the end was truly horrible.
I spotted no nits.
May Our Heavenly Family Bless You and Your.
Your Friend, Danny

Thank you, Danny, for the great review and, as I've learned, the friendly bongo buck bump.

The ending was unexpected, as was his reaction to the presence of a pack of wolves - which is exactly what you intended. Well done. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Boy I think you're absolutely correct, the advent of a Wolf pack would certainly alleviate any thought of dying of the cold with this new and more terrifying prospect. An excellent entry in this contest, good luck, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy. Many didn't catch that distinction.

This is a creepy story that leaves all too much to the imagination. I do believe that freezing to death would have been by far, the better option.
Good luck in the contest.

That is certainly trading one fear for a more immediate fear. This post is well written and an excellent entry for the horror story in fifty words contest.
