Hahaha ... oh, JoAnn, I got such a kick out of this terrific flash fiction write! I love that you put a reverse twist on something that we women often think about when in the shower (I've watched Psycho too many times too!!).
A very clever idea for a write, and I also love the ending with its implication that this has happened more than just this one time. I also love the inclusion of this woman's thought "(the skinny ones always like me for some reason)", hehehe.
Exceptional! Good luck in the contest. ... Hugs! ~~ Connie

Thanks so much for my favorite froggy green star. It is much appreciated and I am so happy you enjoyed and related.
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
Wow, this is really good in a morbid kind of way. You've nailed it spot on about that movie. He should have seen the knife by the shower and announced his presence. I like this and enjoyed reading this little story. Well done Frogbook!

Comment from Joy Graham
Oh dear, this is funny :) I have not seen the movie, but I'm aware of the shower scene. If she told her guys about the knife, that would ruin the surprise if the guy really was a psycho killer of women in the shower. I love the ending where the basement has so many dead boyfriends buried down there that it's now a crawl space. Good one! Best wishes in the contest. This is an excellent entry.

Comment from dovemarie
Dear frogbook, good story based on Psycho - yes, I was in my teens when I saw that several times. It's a good story about madness and also about privacy, about how you don't want guys coming in when you're in the shower. Good luck in the contest. Dove

I think this is a good entry for the Flash Fiction writing prompt.
Your horror story is funny and scary at the same time.
Well done and good luck to you with this one in the competition.

Hi there,
This is a really good piece for the competition. It works well and the tone is almost light-hearted and conversational which gives a pleasing dynamic against the content.
Nice one

You did a great job with your contest entry. You expressed your thoughts well. I like the reference to the movie, too. The picture is a great pairing with your story.
Suggestion:
Should raising in the 1st sentence be [rising] bread rises, balloons rise etc., but raising means to bring up like to raise kids or animals.
Best wishes in the contest. Jan
