Powerful story in 100 words. The shot made me jump out of skin. lol . Yes, violence is not the best way, but neither is cheating! Good one.

Yeah I think this is a story that every man can relate to. I like the words and how it flowed with the story and knowing the fact that he was sorry he missed the shot and not just missed her I like the story funny and a little truth to it. Great writing wish you the best.

Chilling! Very cleverly written. Your writing was clear and descriptive. Your twist or punch line, so to speak, was horrifying, but appropriate for the piece.

Good luck with the contest.

I love the picture. I love the poem. It is easier and cheaper to keep them. You have to be a good shoot if you do not want to keep them. Some one cheating on me, I cut them loose. I do not share. I would not shoot. Make them lead the miserable life they planed for themselves. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

Ha. Even when you are not doing horror, a little bit of the darkness comes out. This was funny and I like the disclaimer in the notes, just in case. Harold needs a new scope.

Hah, yeah, I'd say he does...or some new eyes, perhaps?

Thanks, Lance!

This story...wow. The best one I've read so far. The whole thing was amazingly creative and extremely entertaining. The sound effect made the piece pop even more and the ending was phenomenal. Great job with this piece and good luck with the contest.

Oh well, it was one of the best one in that contest. That and the Loneliest Man. Two of my favorites. You did a great job with this one.

Very clever! I read it to my husband who thought it was very funny (in a dark sort of way). I'm somewhat of a novice, but I felt the story was well written.

Ha ha, thanks very much, acerisestory, I'm very pleased that you both liked it. I wish more voters felt the same as you do, lol!

Thanks so much again!

The last line in this story either makes the reader guffaw or groan. This reader did a little of both!This story contains all the requirements for this contest; main character, setting, conflict and resolution. It is a real killer!

Hah, thanks, Peg. I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad one. I guess the voting and outcome will tell me that, lol. I appreciate the review, my friend.
