Hah, yeah, it is pretty dog gone gruesome sometimes, ain't it, Bob? (LOL)
I make them myself -- the book covers I mean. I'll take photos and pictures I have saved, then add whatever title I want to it, adjust the contrast and brightness so it is legible, then put it in my photobucket account to use here.
I was going to enter my own Dr Terry Fying's Crumbling Crypt contest, and had some horror hosts created for it, but decided not to. I sure would have liked to see what you would have come up with. But, the deadline is tonight at midnight. I can't believe just 5 people signed up. Just five. Oh, but the 5-7-5, haiku and poetry contests fill up in a heartbeat. Does no one but us few write prose anymore? Does no one enjoy telling stories?
I wonder sometimes...
Thanks again, Bob. I'll holler at 'cha later, gator! ;)

Nobody wants to write because it's easier to write poetry. Writing prose takes some work and lots of it...as you know, DeanO. :) Later Bob

That it does, Bob, that it does! :D

Comment from Just2Write
Well! If she hadn't emptied her bladder before - she would certainly have done so then. And it's a shoo-in that she won't be going back to bed for a little extra shut-eye.
Short and creepy, Dean. Creepy seems to be a word that I'm using a lot with you lately. I can't think of many other words that serve.
Good quick trip into the land of horrors.
Rose.

Thank you, Rose. Creepy's just fine by me, my friend. Eerie, spooky and decadent also come to mind, LOL.
Thanks a bunch for reading this and offering up your feedback. I sincerely appreciate it. :) ~Creepy...e-r-r-r, heh-heh Dean...heh-heh. ;)
Comment from ragamuffin
Oh my. That creates quite the unnerving picture. Conveys quite the fright in such few wonderfully descriptive and well crafted words. Makes one wonder if maybe we should pay a little closer attention to the day to day.

Thanks a bunch, ragamuffin. I can't take all of the credit for this one. Fellow member girrafmang (Gareth) was kind enough to tell me the story, all I did was write it. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I certainly appreciate you taking the time to review it for me.
Much obliged. :} ~Dean
Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Dean,
I'm going to give you an honest critique, but always keep in mind it is just my opinion.
I didn't think this one worked as well as the last and that could be because I don't like seeing animals being hurt. I can handle gruesome murders of people, but not animals and children.
However, this is written well, with just the right amount of description to move it along at a quick pace.
Hugs,
Lou

Thanks, Lou, and I always appreciate your opinions.
This idea was forwarded to me by our fellow member, girrafmang as it states in my author's notes. He and his lovely wife provided the inspiration by conveying their story, and I simply put my unique spin on it when writing. It's essentially the same as the story he told me, just enhanced a little.
Thanks for your candor, and for taking the time to review it. I very much appreciate it. :} ~Dean

Thank you for your gracious reply, Dean.

No worries, Lou. Thank you for your honesty. ;)

Creepy huh! Everyone's asleep and I thought something lick my foot? What was that? It's good that we don't own any pets, but is it really good? What is that?!

Comment from boxergirl
Dean, my man, you know this will give me hell when I get up for my nightly trek to the bathroom. Great job with the mirror message. Sad and gory how Buttons had to die.
Couldnt she just have had two lickers? 8-)

Yeah, I suppose she could have, boxergirl. But this is a family oriented site, so you really wouldn't want me to go there, would you, heh-heh?
Thanks so much for the witty review. I appreciate it, as always. :) ~Dean

Ah, it's not as hard as you might think, Fez. The most difficult part is finding an appropriate soundtrack, if you do not have one of your own.
Thanks so very much for your review, mate. Time for yours truly to go for a smoko. :)
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
It's amazing how you can include
so much atmosphere in such a short piece,
Dean - and altho scary - I just had to
smile at:
Puddles of the poor pooch pool - Lots of PEES
Great.

Hah, yeah...talk about fantastic alliteration, right?! Heh-heh...
Just a little dark humor I like to inject into these from time to time, as sort of a comedic relief.
Thanks for checking it out, Margaret. I do appreciate your feedback. :) ~Dean
Comment from Domino 2
I think the first part would also work in single tense to match the 2nd part, Deano.
I think the 'P' alliteration is overdone to describe the pooch's horrific demise, as it adds a humorous touch to me, that I'm not sure is intended.
Maybe also find a way to avoid writing, 'Buttons' twice in the 2nd last paragraph.
Anyway, that's just friendly non-expert advice, so I won't be at all offended if you ignore it.
I honestly DID enjoy this spooky story of the ghoul under the bed with a taste for kiddies hands and dog meat. Great twist to the story.
Congratulations on your win in the POM contest, and your other recent wins.
Best wishes, my friend, Ray

Thanks, Rayman, I appreciate that!
Yeah, all the "P's" is, in fact, intended as a bit of comic relief. Good eye. (see my conversation with Margaret on this in my comments)
As for that second "Buttons", I will take care of that. I'll figure out something.
Thanks a bunch for the suggestions and your review. I appreciate it as always, mate! :) ~DeanO

Ha-ha, good Lord I hope you're not hearing any snickers, country, especially if you're alone! Unless of course you're the one doing the snickering, heh-heh. If not, just stay away from the bed, LOL!
