Thank you. I love writing short stories with surprise endings. It makes my day. Your review makes my day too.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
Well I certainly didn't pick that ending. Very clever write and now that I know who the loner is I can see the cleverly disguised clues. Great little story for the 'Alone' contest. Good luck with that, cheers.

Comment from jacquelyn popp
Great fiction piece of writing. I enjoyed reading your short story. Being that it was a skunk, it probably is better that he is alone. Very interesting take on the life of a skunk who just wants to be alone. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from BethShelby
This is really a cute flash. I like the fact that we were unaware he was a skunk. No wonder, he spends a lot of time alone. Only a lady skunk could be enchanted by him. No I understand who he manages to make himself memorable to dogs.

Comment from Ulla
Haha, I loved it, Patricia. You certainly had me fooled there. It's a great entry for the alone contest. Who would have thought it was a skunk. I thought of a homeless person. Good luck, Ulla:)))

Comment from patcelaw
In this ugly world, there are times when I wish to be alone. There are many who don't like me and that's OK but there are many who love me and I like it. That way I enjoyed the punch line at the end of this story you had me hooked all the way. Patricia.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a well-written story from the perspective of a skunk. At first, I thought it was a homeless man. The text is a great size, especially for a long read. The plot is well-developed and makes sense in the real world. The visual is okay. I understand why you would not use the visual of a fox. It would give the ending away. This is a good entry to the Alone writing contest. Good luck.

Thank you. Yep, I simply used a nature scene so I wouldn't give the ending away. I'm glad you enjoyed the silly story.

Comment from Begin Again
Good morning.....
You were tugging at my heartstrings for awhile. I am alone most of the time and I can tolerate it, but to actually love it was bothering me, wondering what would put someone in that position. And then surprise!!! Of course, my nose wrinkled and I laughed. Well done! I wish you the best in the contest. I've not been around lately but I am happy I got to read your entry.
Hugs, Carol

Thank you. It's is not fun being alone in real life. I was so lonesome after my husband passed away that I had my niece come live with me. I don't mind being alone for a while, but not indefinitely. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
I think you did a good job with this piece. It does come across almost like a homeless man up until the reveal at the end as there's nothing too obvious to give the game away but also the reveal doesn't come as a massive curve ball.
All the best
