Oh my goodness, this is a chilling tale in more ways than one and I felt the cold in this deathly post Iza, I need a blanket now to warm me up. A well written flash, love Dolly x

Iza, wow what a great flash,
All minimalist writing needs to encompass a proper story and also challenge the reader with questions.
I thought at first it was someone lost in a blizzard type of thing, then it was more, finally, who the heck is Yetty?

This is a well structured poem with curious subject matter. I've witnessed many peaceful deaths in the 25 years I've spent in healthcare.
I looked up the word origin for yetty and found the slang for yeti is abdominal snowman. I found that interesting. Best wishes to you.

This one-hundred-fifty-word flash fiction story, A Peaceful Death, has the proper word count and seems to find this woman's last hours in the arms of a yeti.

This is an interesting story with a twist; I thought you did a great job of setting the scene, describing the snow and the cold, and death, in these plain, white, austere terms. The twist at the end means not death, but a bride of the Yetti! Maybe it's more or less the same thing...estory

    I just thought a twist in the Frankenstein story will be nice:)

Here I sit trying to warm up and you, my friend, have me buried beneath the frozen tundra, freezing. Yetty is thriving on ice cubes for brains, wanting a frozen brain. A great flash fiction, Iza with a twist.
Smiles, Carol

This is a horror flash. I can't handle be cold. If the person going under could feel the cold, I sure there would be a struggle. Yetty? Is this the Yeti that is the abonminable snowman? If so, no wonder he wants a frozen birde.

    I wrote this under the influence... of the cold we have here. For a week now we are bathing in minus 35-36 degrees here.

It's difficult to think of a story which can be completed in so few words that includes a plot, conflict, struggle and dialogue. It seems as though you've accomplished all four requirements for a good story. I wish you the best in the contest.
