Nice work, Mikey! I enjoyed this little flash piece. Dogbert Balderfinfarm is great name. Where did you come up with that?

I only have one suggestion. Combine your first two sentences together as the second lacks a verb.

Take care,
Russell

    The names just occur to me. I don't know exactly. I think about them and have some kind of thought process at the time, but after the fact I seldom recall what led me to them.
    Good catch on the first two sentences. We just toss these out unedited, so any editing help is appreciated. Thanks so much, mikey

Wonderful flash fiction story, Mav. It's David and Goliath all over again and we do so love it when the smaller takes out the much bigger bully or in this case horrible awful Redwood Rapist.

I'd say you are right ready for this Sunday's Prose Potlatch.

Exceptional job with this.

Ange.

    Big bullies are just itching to be dropped like the punks they are. Most people just don't realize it. Yep, Ange, she took this fool out. Glad you liked.

Great FlashFiction with a super cool twist at the end. The title is perfect for this story. You had me feeling sorry for "The Dogster" in the beginning! Do you think the anger from having his dreams stolen may have driven him to become an abuser? Even knowing he is a predator doesn't take away the feeling of sympathy for his loss. Good thing Laura's a bad ass bitch!

    Yep, Laura wasn't about to be a victim to that asshole. She took him out. Love chicks like that. :))
    I received your book by the way. It is most cool and I'm enjoying it totally. Love that your from the swamps and bayous. Wow.
    How's it doing? It's got a great cover and looks super.
    Glad you liked this. I've been sick, so I'm waaaaaay behind. mikey

Would be nice to know how the little lady managed to hamstring ol' Dogbert. Looks like a very appropriate practice run at the 500 word flash.

    Not bad for a practice and as it turns out, way better than the real thing. mikey

She now looked only to reunite with Dogbert. That sentence had me fooled, didn't think of him as being her attacker. Good ending mikey. Yea for Laura,
cheers,

Hello, Mike,

Awesome Flash Fiction for -Potlatch Practice. In a few words you managed to deliver a complete, well thought out plot and characters. You are Amazing, young man.

Unwilling Prey is a fast pacing, suspenseful, well-written piece. I know you are going to nail this challenge.

I was confused about, Dogbert and Laura's relationship. I thought they were lovers and at the end...Wham!!! It's a fucking rapist!

I was an advocate of raped victims for two years and I appreciate your story and happy ending.

Well done, brother Mike, I love you, you snicky flasher, you. LoL

Bravo! I like this a lot. As soon as you mention a brutal attack, I knew Laura had caused his injuries... glad to know he really deserved it all. Petite Power! Yessss!

"What a difference a day makes," in all of our lives. One simple mistake or bad choice can change our lives for ever, or end it in seconds. Not every celebrity or sports star is a good person, and of course it should go without saying that, they all aren't rapist or murderers. Unfortunately, we never know until it's too late. Great job. :-)

That was very interesting and I like the twist at the end. I'm thinking she's concerned for his safety never realizing he was the one who did the unspeakable. Nicley done. Mary
