I know what would have happened if it were me. I would have vacated the premises after encountering the specter. I probably wouldn't have came back either. I like what you've presented here and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

    Thanks much for your read and comments. I don't think I would have stuck around either.

Hello fellow poet, I enjoyed your flash fiction story. Though it is hard to tell a story when restricted by word count, I think you did a good job. You kept me engaged and entertained, nice work!

This meets the contest requirements nicely as you deliver a complete story beginning with the appropriate opening statement and within the word count limits. It progresses in a logical manner making it easy to follow. The premise made itself clear with the initial reference to the lab disaster and its casualty. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

The author has chosen a predictable site for a long hallway, but other than that the piece supplies a solid story, even if it lacks a little in the wow factor department. Given the wide-range of length allowed, perhaps the author could use a little of the time-limit left to improve on this last point. Good luck in the contest.

This story certainly meets the guidelines set forth by the writing prompt. It is very interesting, but since they do give you more length than the typical flash fiction, I would suggest one more twist or turn, like perhaps the custodian comes back and leaves again and then you see the ghost. Thanks for sharing.
