Wow, so few words that say so much. I'm guessing that anyone who has faced such a dire situation has heard those voices telling them to relax and rest, when we know we have to keep going to live. Thanks for sharing.

    Appreciate your comments and the review. Two more tumors, Numbers 12 and 13. One on left ear, the other on left side of nose. Awaiting biopsy.

    Wishing you the best on your biopsies, my friend!!! Hopefully, this will be the last of the tumors. Although, I'm sure you've hoped that from the first one. Mine stopped with eight and it's been two years since the last one. Now I'm praying 13 will be your last!

Well, that was an unexpected turn to just lay down and die. Great job, and you held my attention with this Flash Fiction Gem. Have a blessed day. Shirley

You definitely don't want to shut your peepers when you're out in freezing cold weather for a long time. This guy gave into the temptation and look where it got him. Very well put together. Excellent description of the man's situation. Best of luck in the contest. judi

This was a good one mate. Have a look at my autobiography if you missed any as there are rewards on a few chapters. Should it be 'HACKED?' Wish you well in the contest.

That's a turn up for the books, it seems to me that one of the great hazards of being a woodcutter would be getting one's cutting implement stuck, great finish to this flash fiction entry Brett, good luck, blessings Roy

"Invitation" is a flash fiction story that could be taking place in a frigid winter a hundred years ago. A man's saw blade binds in a hickory tree. He is cold and underdressed. Hypothermia starts to set in, and death invites him to feel warm. A clever way to word it.

For some reason, I'm not sure why maybe my brain wasn't working, it does that sometimes, but I did not expect this ending. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. You told an entire story using on a few words. I'm impressed. Good luck with the contest.

You've told an interesting and a little bit dark story using just the required 80 word limit in this flash fiction, Brett. The imagery is vivid; the cold felt. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

This flash fiction was either written by a spirit, or it is indeed fiction. Hard outdoor work in the coldest part of winter will keep you warm for a while, but I'd not be taking the advice of any voice heard while freezing about lying down and closing your eyes. I'll take your word for it, that death feels warm. I'd always assumed it would be cold. Cool story, or warm if you prefer.

    Must be my lucky day. I get two of the same review from you. Yea, me!

    I don't know how that happens but if you get two reviews, good. I only hit the send button once.
