Thank you, my friend. I'll look at that~Debbie
Comment from Dean Kuch
No, I didn't think that at all, Debbie. In fact, I knew that is exactly what you wanted us to think, lol.
I only hope that whoever the poor guy was, it wasn't someone Alice was very fond of. I know one thing. I certainly wouldn't care to ax Alice any questions. She apparently has a tendency to get hacked off quite easily.
Good story!

I wouldn't want to ax her either.Did you read, A Fish and a Storm--another post that I messed up and forgot to add to the book. I would appreciate your feedback if you have time. I think I've got enough horror to submit for Samie's book. Thank you, my friend~Debbie

I'll make sure to read it, Debbie. Did you read my latest, Life Bites? I can't recall if I saw a review from you or not...

Hi Debbie,
gotta hate that fumbling with the keys bit... every time I see that scene in a movie it tenses me up, just like you achieved in this vinaigrette... and why did she lock her door anyway? Seems it would have been easier just to lock it after she was safe... note to self...never lock the door when I go out for a walk... just in case... yeah, not too much suspense in that eh? Well not until the axe came through the front door... all jokes aside, another great little ride into the terror trail... really enjoyed the read.

Memories in the Snow
by dejohnsrld (Debbie)
A story about Alice and a mysterious man that followed her home. At the end she kills the man with an ax. Who is the man? We don't know. Well done!
[Alice felt as though there someone following her (there was)]

I won't walk into our house alone unless there is lights on. Sometimes it gets really inconvenient waiting for another family member to come home. I thought it was her father. You tricked me. I enjoyed reading your post.

Is Harley a good watch dog?
Katie Jo isn't. Hope this wasn't too scary for you. Thank you, my friend~Debbie

Harely isn't much of a watch dog, more of an alarm dog. He announces everything that happens in the neighborhood rather loudly.

An excellent addition to these "tiny tales of terror" Debbie. I almost feel sorry for the poor guy, there was an axe as his reward, but what I do like about it, is the reverse to what could really happen, she was not frozen with fear! Well constructed story, fascinating plot, and a worthy addition, well done, blessings, Roy.

Comment from mumsyone
Still the comma issue, Debbie, and tense. I know you will fix these.
Romance,(no comma) was her genre of choice.
Her father had passed on last year, and this will (was) be the first year she can (could) remember,(no comma) without their annual first snow walk.
They hadn't tackled cutting down a whole tree,(no comma) but had enjoyed spitting logs together.
Today,(no comma) was the first snow.
Alice felt as though there someone following her the last quarter of a mile,(no comma) and picked up her pace.

Maybe I need to read about the proper use in commas. They are all fixed. Have a good evening, my friend. Thank you~Debbie

Another good thriller piece.
and this will be the first year she can remember, without their annual first snow walk. [...and this WOULD BE the first year she COULD remember ... >> keeping your tenses consistent.]
They jztackled cutting down a whole tree, but had enjoyed spitting logs together. [Don't know what the "jz" is doing there.]
Alice felt as though there someone following her [There WAS someone following her.]
That sounds like the kind of dream I would have.

Hi Debbie, I absolutely love these short horror stories that have a twist at the end, this one is perfect because it is the stuff of many people's nightmares, yes, we have all had them, the feeling of being watched or followed, excellent my friend.
