An amazing horror story along the lines of Poe and Hitchcock (what a combination!) But they both move slowly and methodically, where the horror builds slowly. None of this immediate blood and gore of horror movies or stories today. You portray white trash every so well. I was enthrall with the story (and I usually hate horror.) The psychological studies in this are amazing. You should send this off to some horror magazines. They definitely need a better quality of work and this is it.

Comment from apelle
Thought provoking and smooth writing !
I like how you leave the reader pondering life and its meanings,,,like this sentence which i loved :)
There are moments in a person's life when they think the last few feet of film have snapped loose from the reel.

Comment from Thesis
A gross, well told story.
I guess the old guy wasn't one to mess with.
The nephew and his thief girlfriend got what they deserved. The only disturbing part is that I'll never be able to enjoy bacon again. LOL - Thesis

I just wish I still had six stars left for this story. It was really great. I enjoyed reading it because it was so descriptive. The ending was a real hum dinger!

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello Mastery,
now your story was very intense, with pretty gory scenes, and how an old man can act when he's not to stable in his head and believes someone is doing him wrong.
( I was waiting for a big load of money to be found?)) You certainly knew how to end your story with a closure
good luck in the contest.

Can't say I'm sorry for their bloody end. My pity is with the old man. A brilliant story well written and it held me captivated throughout. Wonderful imagery and dialogue.

From the beginning to the end, your creative writing held my interest. There was a point when I thought Duddles was too shy to stand up for himself, but, was I ever wrong.
Excellent creatitivity!

Comment from Donovan
I think this story flows well. It is easy to read and follow the storyline, which is well developed. The characters have good personalities. I like the down home style. Well done.

Hmmmm. Thanks so much, Donovan. Which part did you like the best? Mastery

Hmmm, I like the 67 cents and 14 points......if you insist on a review that would be helpful, then I am not your guy. Story reminds me of a Charles Dickens piece in as much as you give elaborate description of everything, Duddles, the house Clarence and the Bimbo. It does present an image in the readers mind and I suppose that is good. It also reminds me of an Alfred Hitchcock TV Series show. The intrigue of the story is the description. The weakness is the plot, though well developed, not too suspenseful. You need a twist in it...something that takes the reader by surprise. That seems to be lacking. Zippo light is good, shows you are an old geezer yourself. Having Duddles ruminate is a little out of word choice for this story. That's it. See you really don't care what I had to say....We would both been better off for me to take the 67 cents and run...but no..you had to imply whatever was your implication. I will not go to have lunch...fried pork chops...probably from some Duddly type farm...mashed potatoes and gravy with corn on the cob and hot apple pie.

Tyhanks so much for your comments. The twist is in the last paragraph, Donovan...Sorry you didn't like the stroy..Thanks, anyway. Bob
