A story well developed - and with a nasty little surprise at the end. I can see why it would be suited to being in "The Horror Tree". Best wishes for your entry in the flash fiction contest.

A well-constructed little flash that takes your reader into the cave and then, just as we're settling into the experience, we realise that this isn't going to be a straightforward exploration after all and there is someone else with other plans! Well done and good luck! Debbie

A quick but well written flash fiction. You brought out visuals with your words. The hesitancy of entering a foreboding cave, no knowing the delights or horrors that it may contain.

"Hello dinner!" LOL. Now that's a quick and to the point welcoming, or should I say greeting. It's stories like yours that have drawn me in and turned me into a flash fiction fan. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a six.

Wow. A skull in the cave was a men-eating monster. It was a surprise ending that was supposed to be in the end of a well-written flash fiction. You can even write a longer one to enter the "We found the cave" competition.
Well done.

Thank you for the review.I was curious about the skull being the monster as I had written sets of hands grabbing the victim. I am working on the "We found the cave" entry as we speak. Thanks again!

"Hello Dinner," what a perfect and ghastly line. In one hundred words, you captured my attention and made me wonder what horrid creatures were pulling poor Michael into the darkness. I have no suggestions to make it better. I definitely will avoid caves. Gayla

Thank you for the kind words! I was trying to convey that it was a cannibal clan that pounced on the victim. I'm happy you enjoyed the story.

Oh dear! I guess that was one cave he should have decided wasn't worth exploring. Now a soup pot or maybe just served raw will complete their dinner. Ugh!
