Wonderful work! The lady is sure angel than witch. Some co-incidences make a drastic change in our lives making us wonder if they were a mere coincidence. Excellent prose! Good use of adjectives that bring out more life to the scenes, and aids in visualizing the scenario easily.

How intriguing! She was a ghost warning him!! I am very impressed with your vivid 'showing' words. I felt the chill, the rain, and the consternation of the main character too. ") Susan

Hey there. I don't know how I missed this one, but when I read the announcement, I wanted to have a look at what you had submitted. Congratulations on your award. It feels good doesn't it? This is excellent and a good piece for your mini-book. "The finger resumed its journey down the length of the flap. "If I am a true Carter, it will prove what a bastard he was. If not, then I guess I'm the bastard"
excellent

Very nice. I really enjoyed it - your "words - pictures in the mind" were exceptional. I saw them both - and the follow through from the start to finish kept me engaged.

Congrats on winning the seal - as well as the other honors. The story deserves it. -- And in so few words. Great work

Hi redrider6612,

First of all, congratulations on the Seal of Quality. It was that announcement that led me over here to read. This is a good piece of flash fiction. It is well-conceived, with a provocative setting and interesting characters. The plot line holds tension and reader interest, and the ending is quite satisfying, and some what of a surprise, which is always desirable in a short-short. Two minor things: check the spelling of "mesmerized" in paragraph 12. Also, in paragraph 2, if you were to substitute "pistol" for "gun", it might sound better to the reader's ear, as you follow soon after with "gum boots".

Nicely done story-written on a professional level.

JMR
