I feel I missed something with this contest entry. I read it twice. Maybe it's just me. I'm sure others figured it out. I guess I haven't figured out the solution. I got the characters, setting, problem. Hmm. Oh well, sometimes my brain forgets to work. Good luck with the contest.

This story packs a lot of punch for so few words. I've never seen a Vermont winter, but it sounds a lot like the ones where I'm at and you painted a perfect picture of something I can totally see happening. Great work!

Thank you for the kind wishes, Jessi! Now that I understand more about how FanStory works, I've realized that one must sort of "buy into" a chance to win or there won't be enough reviewers. Ah, well - I'll just have fun putting work on the site. Aisha
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Driving into danger such as this sounds like a nightmare and I remember once being in a car that broke down in the depths of winter in France and neither of us had a phone signal. I heard a clunking sound and realised that the starter motor had stuck with the extreme cold as it was -20 degrees celsius. I suggested we rock the car to release it and we released the hand brake and the car rolled backwards and the starter motor then worked. It was a miracle! We got home in one piece and the terror of the situation as over. A fine write Aisha, love Dolly x x x

I haven't been in this situation before - what a relief you could rock out!
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
How will they handle this, indeed! I read entirely too much Stephen King to be comfortable with two people walking in the Vermont woods, alone, in the dark. Good entry for the 100 Word Flash Fiction contest. Good luck.

Hi, Marilyn - Yes, I was hoping to convey a Stephen King-ish feel. :-) Thanks for reading and reviewing! Aisha

Aisha, I enjoyed reading this 100 Word flash fiction story. You used great descriptive words and very good imagery from the artwork you chose. It all went together very well.

Comment from Bill Schott
This one-hundred-word story, Recrimination, has the proper word count and seems to find the deadly pair "mistaker" and "pointer-outer" together and lost in the snow.
I am assuming it is their own footprints they come upon.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. There's a way that you express and portray this is meant to catch the eye. Keep up the good work, you're very talented and I can't wait for your next read.

Hi, Kelly - thank you for reading, reviewing, and complimenting my work! To be honest, I had so much fun writing this, it doesn't seem right to call it work (smile).

I'd love some feedback on my poetry, give it a look. Please 😊
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a dramatic scene. It sounds as though the character of Mick has an angry reaction and rather than slow down, he speeds up while driving with Loretta. But they survive a collision, only to find themselves alone in the dark, snow-covered woods, with only a trail of footprints to possibly guide them to somewhere else safer. Interesting train of events.

Hi! Thank you for reading and reviewing! This couple had had a long night of sparring and sniping at each other and Mick had been drinking, but I had to cut all of that out to get to 100 words (smile). What I hoped to convey was that the event left them standing together instead of angry apart, regardless of what came next.
