HI Mikey

Highly entertaining with that TWIST!. I didn't spot any spag or typos. Your story read smooth and provided the tension expected, though not necessarily required in flash fiction. You've cut your story to the bone and delivered a well written nasty crime piece of work. Well done. Hugs - Lovi xoxox

The story is great, but a little confusing with the twist which was intentional. When three women disappeared in Yosemite for real, I drew a picture of the killer and sent it to the FBI. The same man was arrested and tried for murder...Cary Stayner. This was the second time I did this.
Good job..Cahill.

    Wow. Some real life to add to this. Good for you. I recall that case I believe. I'm a California boy. I've been to Yosemite many times. How awful to think of such heinous things amidst such beauty. Thank you, mikey

    Seems to destroy the innocence doesn't it?

Hi Mikey,

I have to say I love your name choices. Crack me up.

Good practice piece you have got in here. Keeping it stripped down and simple, something I struggle with to be honest! LOL

Nicely done

    Ha! Well, I prefer what I like to write. BUT no one understands a damn word I say, so I guess I'll just retire. LOL
    I don't have any heart for this stuff and I'm just mediocre at best. Wanna hear anymore? You're too sweet. I'm glad you liked this. It's not terrible I guess. Thank you. michellu

What a name - Dogbert Balderfinfarm. LOL

I was really feeling sorry for his injuries, and I thought Laura was really worried about him because she cared. What a surprise you gave me at the end. The Redwood Rapist.

Great story that captured my attention right off. Thank you. 8-)

    So pleased you got a kick out of it. No idea where that crazy name came from. Well, my crazy brain I suppose. LOL mikey

    I love odd names. With a name like mine, I'd have to. My full name is
    Mignon Yvonne Uzzell. If you say it just right, it sounds like a Chinese food. LOL. 8-)

Ha.
You fooled me again. I always get pulled in and then zap you show up with a twist.
Dogbert was the bad guy, not her boyfriend. He attacked her and she shoved him down the embankment.

I didn't see any corrections. Just a damn brilliant post.

Oh, do we have a prompt for potlatch practice. I guess I'd better check ...

Clever story and well written. Shouldn't the last line read, "Dammit WOMAN, you're my hero, that's for sure." Just caught my eye.
