Comment from Dolly'sPoems

Excellent

This sounds like a terrible experience and I am relieved that it is all fiction. I once had to attend an early morning scene where a man had hung himself in the park overnight and it was definitely a nightmare, your story gave me the chills, love Dolly x

Dolly,
Thanks for your review. Yes, suicide is a horrible thing. I am thinking of making this into a longer story. Thanks for your support. It ties for first place.
Take care and have a wonderful day.
Regards
Barry Penfold.

I once did that as a nutty teenager thinking the rope would unravel, fortunately it wasn't my time, my silly scheme backfired, but apart from a bit of rope burn, I was unhurt, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Wow! Now that's something I would not want to witness. How haunting to think someone was just climbing a tree and then seconds later, he is dead, hanging from the tree. Well done.
