This was a little spooky and in the end, a bit funny. A little man-made gem. Good luck in the contest. The groundskeeper has a warped sense of humor, but so do I. I smiled.

Hi there,
I think you did a good job with one, leading the reader down a particular pat and then undercut it with a nice sense of humour. Good stuff
Bet of luck to you

I actually laughed at this. I was prepared to be scared, but I was very relieved to have been amused instead. Thank you for choosing to share this here.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I enjoyed this flash as it is one of my favorite genres to both read and write.
I liked the build up that ended in a whimsical way.
This is a good contest entry that should do well.
You were creative with the prompt and the word count is correct.

Almost makes me want to become a cemetery groundskeeper! What fun!
Love the ironically nonthreatening
'What's up, Kemo Sabe?' He could have said, 'pomegranate' and gotten the same response!
Well done, Bill.
Best of luck with the Committee.
Peace, Lee

LOL I enjoyed reading your contest entry. You told and entire story using on a few words. I'm impressed. I'm glad to get the opportunity to get to read a post. I've been missing them. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

This one-hundred-word story, Here Lies Chaska, builds to this perfect point where the kids have their growth stunted from fear. Fun stuff.

Your story is well written, building up to a climax and a great ending. This groundskeeper probably did this man times, knowing how the children would react. Hope you do well in the contest.
