I love the story. It is heart breaking. The dog may have been the only companion the woman had. It is also cruel to kill a small animal. I know little dogs can be annoying. It is a good thing we can not kill people just because they are annoying. Great work. Good luck in the contest.

This is well written and follows the prompt nicely. I can understand your anger because it was a cruel and pointless murder. Some people don't think before they act. Of coursse, I'm assuming that this actually happened.

Wow. What a tragic, compelling story you told in such a short amount of words. I am glad it is true fiction. Sad! Can relate because I have a small dog. Perfect picture. Good luck in the contest.

This short story is well written. An extremely sad story well told. The second sentence are two different thoughts and should be written as two sentences. This is a good competitor in the contest. Good luck!

Good story and terrific choice of artwork to accompany.
One suggestion:
"light" as you've used it, is not correct, as it is one word, "daylight." You could change it to "the morning's LIGHT" or just delete the word "day."
Good luck in the contest.

Hi,

Great artwork - really fits the story. Wasn't expecting quite that ending, but then that's part of why I enjoyed it. Not mundane or predictable.

Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings
