A stellar example of "Men's Intuition." (yes, yes, I know there's no such thing. That's my point.) This was a perfect Dribble, in that it had a very surprise ending!! Well done.

    Thank you. Is there a meaning to your profile picture? Backed into a corner, preventing the door from opening to get out? Let someone in? My head hurts...:)

This work has reached the exceptional level

The job sounds like that of a prison guard on the midnight shift. Brick building gives a setting. Words choices give a mood:silent, dimly lit halls;howling, rainy night.
Clever let down, Clark.

    Hi, It's supposed to be an ironic jab at our human tendency to think we "just know" somethings true, when in fact, we don't.

    Thanks for the review, Lois. Now I just know you've had the "uniform" cleaned? :)

This ultra-concise narrative conveys an important truth about jobs/careers.
Some people have professions that require urelenting attention, often causing them to EXPECT something . . . . Good use of personification

    It's a contest entry with a 50 word limit, hence the conciseness, Thanks for reviewing.

Hi Deniz,

You have set up a good scene in your dribble flash fiction. I wonder what kind of workplace it is. I have more questions. I wish you could have given some more descriptions about what kind of work you do and what happened.

Best wishes in this contest.

    We were limited to 50 words in this contest. It was all fiction. Thanks for reviewing!

I had a job like that once too. It never changed and so I had to move on.

This is an excellent dribble flash fiction Dennis.

Good luck in the contest.

Blessings
Janet

Hi there,

Quite frankly, I hope this wins. You sort of feel where it's going but the last two words undercut the tension. Funny. been there myself. lol

All the best

    Yeah, it?s acknowledging we all sometimes think we know something when we really don?t. Of course, you and I have never done that...😄 thanks for reviewing!

Great entry into the Dribble Flash Fiction contest.

You built up story momentum early. Then, landed the right hook closing it out.

Nicely done. John

This was well written. There were no spelling or grammar errors and no typos. I get those same feelings from time to time. It's almost always nothing. Good luck in your contest.

    Thank you for reviewing. Yes, it was a reminder to how we (except you and me) often think we just know something without or in spite of the facts.

Hello. I enjoyed that read. But I was expecting it to be a little longer to be honest but other then that..well done! Oh I like the way it was spread out it made it easy to read

    It was an entry in a 50 word contest so spreading it out would have disqualified it. Thanks for reviewing!

A very well-written dribble flash fiction. To work in the nightly hours must be much more stressful than in the daytime. We cannot always see what is lurking in the dark shadows.

    Well, in this case, nothing was lurking. :) Thanks for reading and reviewing, Dennis
