What a choice she was given. This sounds like something the Nazi would have come up with. Good writing. Not overrun with description. Just stark realism. Great job. Gretchen

    Thank you very much. It is a sad, horrid story. In real life I am an optimist.

Wow, what a powerful story about choices.
What choice do you make when nothing seems right?
Sometimes there isn't a right one to make.
Congrats on the win!

OMG!!! So distressing to read. I read it twice to fully comprehend the situation. All I could think of are ISIS, and all their poor victims who face this kind of horror. Succinct and, just wow.

Oh God, I know full well this is fiction, but I swear I have a lump in my throat - what a choice to have to make, and ten she/he sees is daughter being sot anyway... Now this is taking flash fiction to the extreme! I see why it won the contest, and congrats!

    Hahaha - I get it! But we're writers - imagination, no matter where it takes us for a story or poem, can't be bad!!! :)) You're very welcome. It's a great story!

Main character - you, Setting - the theater, Conflict - who will you shoot, Resolution - you shot the evils. Yep. You did it!! Well done...but I'm sad that you and your daughter still died.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this.

Dear jusylee,

Quite a gruesome tale of a woman in a bad situation. Which will it be, the tiger or the woman? I can see why you won the contest. A good twist at the ending.

Warm regards,

Winslow

So powerful, and really sobering. Your writing is so good! I think your decision was right. Too bad you didn't have more bullets, but you'd have to be a crack shot to get them all. Now the woman behind you is next. What will she decide? Terrifying, to think it may have no end.

    Thank you so much. This was such a terrible story. In real life I am an amazing optimist, yet this story evolved from just thinking about a scene. I hate the truth that that things like this happened during the Holocaust.

I'll bet they go through a lot of directors in a day. Absolutely the right choice, like the dancer at Birkenau. The other choice, dying like a sheep, not so good. Five more.
