Very well done. I didn't realize it was a movie set until I read the word "cut". Always a good sign when you get involved deep enough not to see what is approaching.

This is an excellent take on writing a story in 100 words.
You paint a very realistic picture of Cecelia's predicament,and describe her feelings too. I was relieved at the little twist at the end of the tale.

Ou-- this is brilliantly crafted. You have left the reader in the state of "which is it?", is it a darkly deceptive write which could reflect "snuff" movie making or is it only a scene from the latest high drama flick being filmed. Oh goodness, I'm sitting here smiling and shaking my head, so you've done a fine job with in the 100 word limit. No nits from this reader. Lora

A great one hundred word dash, this is a great contest, and with just that many words, your dialogue, and your character is awesome, like a script, the director it is a wrap. I know that one. good luck.

Very good. I think you have done well. Short...precise and all the elements...I think Dick Cheney should be the start in this Twilight Zone story.

Hey, this was a great piece of flash fiction. It contained all the necessary criteria and the twist at the end was unexpected. You should do very well in this contest.

I am new to flash fiction, but thought this was a great read. I never saw the ending coming amd thought you built the suspense remarkably well. And of course, you met the brief. I didn't spot any typos, and I really wish you well in the contest. This must surely be a strong contender.
