This is so sick. I kinda' like it. O.K., so I am a little sick. What can I say? Anyway, really good play on something or other.

Okey, really. I didn't expect such an ending. My fault. The beginning sounded real in all accounts,I like the way you picture your mom, looking up to the stars!

Hi Mikey

OMG! Where that mind of yours goes! Not the kind of revenge I might have imagined ... more a bbq on the spit (slow roasted) ... though let's not argue recipes .... perhaps we could co-write a revenge cookbook?? lol Not for my dad though ... he was a gentle lovely man.

One nit - second line - typo - "...his evening's din(n)er ..".

You have me laughing at the horror of your revenge, yet not at the actuality of child abuse.

I was expecting to drivel and drool over the entries in this contest .... I haven't even come to a chocolate story yet .. though jannypan's grandma's white cake looks good .... and her lemon meringue pie. Though I'm partial to pate and brains, usually lamb or veal and goose livers .... I'm open to new foods .. I do want to swipe my finger through that green icing.

I see no need to wish you good luck as you've already WON it .... I wanted to vote on this one .... I was distracted with a house guest for a few hours ... damn. Well he's slow roasting in the oven .... I've already made the crackling .. accompanied by some delicious apple sauce.

Super write ... Congratulations on the win...... Hugs - Lovi xoxoox

A very creative and inventive way to get back at dear old dad and find out for yourself that his tastes for the elite can sometimes backfire and it might be a while until you see him back again.

Well that was certainly strange. I kept thinking of The Silence of the Lamb as read this.
It was well written and fit the criteria of the contest for sure.

Good luck. John

I'm not sure he'd be tasty at all, what with all that gristle, I imagine the meat would be tough.

Gruesome, but fun reading.


evening's diner--TYPO- dinner.

this evening's diner will bring me peace - dinner
clever rhyming couplets in the poetry section
good gallows humor in having Dad for dinner - literally eating him as revenge for his years of molestation

This is funny, Mr. Hannibal...I mean mystery writer. I have a few Ex-wives I would cook up, but they would be far to bitter to eat. Seriously, I like this piece, "grow like a black cancer on my soul" is brilliant. Good luck in the contest.

I'm glad dinner was well behind me before I read this. I'm not sure I could have faced a meal after reading it! The final image is beautifully revolting.

Minor spag: "I'm hoping this evening's (diner)". I suspect this should be 'dinner'.

Burgundy with pate? I might suggest something lighter -- a merlot blanc, perhaps. LOL

Excellent contest entry. Thank you.
