Thank you, dmt1967, chills up the spine is about as good a compliment as a story of this kind could receive, my friend. Much obliged!

Brilliant flash fiction here! You have that wonderful blend of the demonic supernatural and the reality of life. Your use of dialogue is on song and your characterisations thinly, but effectively sketched. The hanging is suitably gharish and the entire story is very inventive. You'r ein good form in this oned.

Thanks, Mark, that's so kind of you to say, my friend. As a writer of a great deal of prose yourself, and successfully so, I take that as the highest compliment. I had hoped the dialogue wasn't too "over the top", and based upon your review, at least, I'm satisfied that it was just enough.
Thanks so much again for your fantastic feedback and wonderful review!

Fine yarn, But was he Juible or Jubile? And just for effect the "it" in the last line should be the vermin's full and formal-not to say Christian-name, in my unschooled opinion.

Well, thank you, LIJ Red, and no opinion or suggestion should be overlooked in my book, my friend. I will certainly consider changing that "it" to Jebediah. As for Juible/Jubile, that change has already been corrected and made.
Comment from Jay Squires
Wow! That is some story. It reads almost like a graphic novel, with all the artwork you have to support it.
The colloquial speech surprisingly works well in this.
Good job.

Thanks very much for affirming what I attempted to achieve here, Jay. I wanted to convey a graphic novel feel to this, to spice up what had to be a very short story. I'm so happy to hear that you felt I pulled that off. I've read many of your Trining tales, so I have no doubts you know exactly what you're taking about. I really appreciate your encouraging review.
