You write in such a clear and concise way as to make the reader understand exactly the emotions in play without guesswork. I thoroughly enjoyed this short but emotion packed story.

Wow! This is a heavy story in so few words. A very sad tale, with a great ending. To burn the place down seems like the right thing to do...Love it! Judy

I guess he finally purged the painful memories with that act of rage against the man who would beat and berate him then leave him "stuff" in the end. This is a most compelling 100 word story, with character, conflict, resolution, setting. Brooke

    I hope removing the thorn from the rose gave him peace and happiness. The only love was found in nature. Thank you for the kind review. Carol

You did a good job of creating a well crafted story in very few works and working all those required words in without them seeming obvious. That is one way to get rid of bad memories. Good luck in the contest.

How clever is this - a great
short story - I am always at
a loss when given certain words,
so I'm most impressed with this.
A great entry for the contest, Carol.

Good luck, my friend.

I liked the story. The character was searching for peace and he found it when he rid himself of his painful past. I think you did well with your use of using the required words. I feel the end of the story would have been better if he found God instead!

    He had already found God in his solitude. He was just erasing the evil from the spot. Thanks for your review. I greatly appreciate your thoughts. Carol
