This is quite a chilling story. The writing is we;; consturcted. The murder is extremely brutal. I'm not sure since he had it planned and he had stopped loving the lady if he would have made such a mess to be cleaned up. He apparently didn't want to deal with court even though there was a prenuptal in place. It seems he made a much bigger problem for himself that that would have been. The surprise ending is good.

Certainly an exciting and suspenseful story. The mystery of who left the dead heads is fascinating. You show well what an adulterous spouse can drive her partner to. An excellent Halloween story.

A very creepy read with an even creepier ending. I was drawn into this as I love horror, and found your descriptions to be remarkable. Sounds, smells, along with the other gory details worked in with the story well, and I enjoyed the read.

I found nothing to critique except the "full to the brim" mention about the bra, perhaps a tad cliche.

Good luck in the contest, I found this story to be professionally written.

Nice twist in the end.

Talk about trick or treat! What a well crafted and suspenseful story. And just the right touch of sex and gruesome violence. A little something for everyone for Halloween! Terrific story, I'll be surprised if it doesn't win!

hi Bob, you have quite a mixture in here - sex, brutal killings (which you excelled the most here) and the horror part at the end. i like the starting line. wish you much luck with this.

This was a gory Halloween scare. Everyone paid in the end of the story. I think that you will do well in the contest. Good luck.

    Thanks, Nightwind...Since you liked it...is there something I can do to garner the other star? Bob
reply by Nightwind1 on 31-Oct-2009
    I do apologize. The four stars is simply the reader hitting the wrong button. I did change it to 5 stars.

Bob, you dickens you! The only thing better than the gore was the sex. A Santa Claus you weren't in this piece!

I only have a couple of comments, one dubious, the other I think you might profit by changing.


Twenty-three years younger than him when they married,[Grammatically, of course, it should be "than he", but if you are staying within the colloquialism of the character, rather than the narrative, "him" would be acceptable.

he'd married a tarantula disguised as Betty Crocker. [Now, that's good!]

There was no other way, Lisa had to go [would you consider a semi-colon after "way" instead of a comma? They are two complete sentences.]

Then she dropped as though somebody had cut her puppet strings. [a great simile!]

A great tale, well told! A dynamic entry for the contest.

Blessings,

Jay

As usual, another good work from you, Bob. I wasn't sure about the first part when he said, "Doing it in your house rattles me a little, baby, that's all." seemingly out of the blue. I could understand the first part but didn't think the "that's all" was necessary because she didn't say anything to him to invoke a response.

"Heeeeeeeeere's Toneeeee!" he yelled. ---------------) I LOVED that part. Classic. lol

Surprising ending.

Good job and keep up the good work.

This is a mix of HEAT, PSYCHO, THE POINT OF NO RETURN, and hundred other great movies, BUT, what the movies lacked this story tells us, and with a high impact. Superb!
