I enjoyed it. Sadly, I don't quite get the dread from the little girl that I was expecting from story description. I did get a good chuckle from it though!

I will look it over and see if I can insert more dread. It is hard to write a vivid description when one is limited to 70 words. I looked it over and added screamed violently.

Yikes! I think you've got a great concept here, and I know I'd give you more stars if you fixed some punctuation issues. Maybe: "Kids! Come look! The Easter Bunny is here!" (When someone 'calls', it's usually with some amount of excitement. If she whispered it, you'd be okay with no exclamation points, but you still need something after the word 'look'.) Also, if you're using the word 'screamed', maybe think about using an exclamation point. Either that, or maybe Sally 'deadpanned' instead of screamed? Good job on this, and apologies for being the punctuation nerd.

How traumatic for the kids. You managed to tell a complete story in a few words. The picture is adorable. Once more mom and dad are not on the same page. Good luck in the contest.

I gave you six because not only did I find a shocking but in spite of the fact that you put a violence morning on it I really didn't see that coming. As for flash fiction this that the criteria well was World War II is very short and simple and ends with a blast! A pleasure and an honor to ride with you here, sincerely, and Blessings, Brother Badger Cull Aka Darren
