Very good flash fiction. It is so good it is believable. I truly enjoyed it and you tell it very well. Good dialogue and descriptive scenery. I miss my puppy too. We all do and I would definitely follow my dog into a ghost open house.

    Thank you for sharing my story. I am glad you enjoyed it, but can you explain why it rates only four stars?

    I sure can , because it was a mistake. I will fix it. There is no way I would give it a four.

This is definitely a supernatural story. Whenever someone who has been dead for years shows up, you know the story is going to places that could be a little scary. Being a realtor, this kind of story is a haunting one (no pun intended).

I like the surrealism effects you've interjected in the story. It was a good read.

I love this!

If my dogs beckoned, I'd be on it, too.

Unexpected, fresh, really interesting take. I'm impressed. I've seen a few entries for this contest. As far as I'm concerned, you only have one real competitor. I think you might just bring home the top prize. Can't wait to find out who you are so I can fan you.

Good luck.

Well, this is such a lovely ghost story. It's so nice the girl is so welcoming and the picture is just perfect. The opening is great as it sets the scene very well.

In ""Five bedrooms, 3.5 bedrooms, a . ." is the second "bedrooms" supposed to be bathrooms?

Sounds a bit like the poor fellow is about to join the dead, either personally, or figuratively. He's seeing ghosts, but from what side of the veil??

Good luck in the contest,
Rhonda

Nice! You went for the softer side of supernatural story telling, no demons or cursed souls, a pleasant change though I can do both. You painted a great picture in the minds eye of the house and occupants as well as setting the atmosphere and tone of the read. Good luck, I enjoyed it!
