Welcome back, Carol. This is a great little piece of flash fiction with a hint of darkness again, but a happy ending. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you, Judy. I think you will like my other post much better. I know I do. Now if I can keep my head on straight I might get through this dark spot.

    Smiles, Carol

    You?re welcome, Carol. I decided to read instead of reviewing today. I had only 14 to go. Tonight I Had 32! I?ll get to it. Lol

    No problem... Everyone was telling me I was writing doom and gloom so I finally wrote one that wasn't. It made me happy too.

This is a great one-hundred word short story. If this were a true story I would say the young lady too proud to apologize, was lucky the man she wrongfully accused didn't try to pay her back by harming her. I love these flash fictions. Best wishes in the contest.

    Thanks, Lorraine. I hoped the reader would pick up on the fact that she made a horrible mistake and instead of owning up, she preferred to pretend it was nothing. I think in real life she might reconsider.

Oh wow. This was an excellent piece of flash fiction. You did a great job here. I'm surprised at how much action you can fit in so few words. Best wishes.

This is a great story for the contest, and you wrote it in 100 words, which is so difficult. It could have gone in so many different directions, and I'm glad it ended this way. Best wishes in the contest. Carol

    Me too! I just wanted to expose her arrogance and unwillingness to back down (like road rage). Lucky for her, he just wanted to scare her and maybe think twice next time.

Carol,

Oh, wow! That could have gone a thousand different ways!! I hope she will reconsider that accusation and the status of her feelings/opinions on this one.

As bad as it is, he could have made it so much worse!! Good job!

    And I move from the darkness into the light, my friend. Probably not the proper way but at least she will think twice before making false accusations. I hope you enjoy my other post, because I did!

    Smiles, Carol

What a brilliant piece! It seems there are degrees of malevolence I suppose, there's that type that causes actual physical, (which seems to becoming more prevalent of late) and then this. Brilliantly written Carol. Good luck. Bit worried about, you've gone from prolific to, almost vanished. Well done, blessings Roy

Aw, that was a great flash fiction for the contest, and then in only a hundred words.
The suspension was great. I literally sat on the edge of my seat. Great little story. Good luck, Ulla:)))

This one didn't go where I was expecting it too. The guy was satisfied with scaring her within an inch of life. It would be nice if all stories that start this way could end so tamely.

What a scary way to meet someone you had made a mistake about. But if she apologized this story probably wouldn't have happened. Very good and hair-raising. Great contest entry.

    Yes her arrogance led her down the wrong path it seems. Luckily, the man only wanted to scare her and maybe make her think. Thanks for the review.

Excellent story. It is hard to tell a complete story in a hundred words but you have done it here. I was starting to wonder what happened to you as I hadn't read any new postings from you for a while. Glad to see you are still here. Best of luck in the contest.

    Thank you... I am here but it has been a struggle of late. but I am a survivor and continue to push forward in hopes of a better tomorrow. Writing is my life blood and without it, I shrink away and surrender to life's problems. so I am forcing myself to write something even if it is only a flash. Thank you again.

    Smiles, Carol
