Thank you so much for the great review and giant sixer, Flylikeaneagle. Yeah, I love playing around in my art program just as much as I do writing. I really appreciate the generous rating, Fly. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have yourself a great rest of the weekend as well and thank you again.

Simply put, if you step into a batter's box sooner or later you are going to make contact, get on base and perhaps score the winning run. This dadny, handy. Good luck.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Wow, amazing picture and story, well done! It's very scary and well thought out. Nice flow and engagement...I was hooked from beginning to end. Poor Brad, what a horrible way to die.
Excellent entry for the ... Outing writing prompt... Good luck in the contest!!!

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Interesting read. I'm glad it is fiction, cause it would be too scary if it was true.
A couple of suggestions:
Para 6, 3rd sentence. How mean. The paragraph started off like a "Hallmark moment" and ended up like a "Twilight Zone" episode.
Para 9, 1st sentence: "half way" should be "halfway"
Strange little story but I liked it. Too bad about Brad.

It was ridiculous enough to keep my interest and entertain me at the same time. LOL
Comment from Bill Schott
Well, I certainly would have never expected that ending had the image you created with the story not made that a possibility. Still, I guess if a kid has to die, what better way than doing a Donnie Darko exit.
I wonder about this: "...beautiful (fawn) in the clearing.", only because, once it was hit, it went "...wailing to its momma."

Hey, Bill, hi. Thank you for the great review and for pointing out my goof. Yes, fawn is correct. I'm an idiot. Lol. Thanks for getting me straight. I fixed it. You're the second one to mention Donnie Darko. I'll have to look that up. I appreciate the stars and help, friend. Thanks again.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I'm glad to learn this is fiction and it is inventive and entertaining. We never know what can drop from the sky and thankfully there aren't too many plane crashes to deal with, air travel is pretty safe, but there is always a risk. A fun post with a tragic end, love Dolly x

Comment from LisaMay
Oh I do love a good piss-take and this one is wonderful, parodying so many recent stories - referencing childhood deaths by gators, quicksand etc. Glory, glory, hallelujah praise the Lord and pass the ammunition to shoot another little, beautiful doe.
You are truly naughty, Ron.
the giant fireball came hurdling down - probably should be 'hurtling'.
