Very well thought out piece. Though these are hard to review I do my best.
This tells a story in a very few words. I would rather ten pages of prose
But this is what was required. Very good. Sincerely Mabaker

thank you so much for reading and reviewing. This bit of flash fiction was a triumph for me. I'm much better at telling a tale with a great deal of words,

This is a nice and creepy flash fiction story. I enjoyed it but I feel like I'm a bit too much inside a psychos head now, haha. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

Wow, you described the difference in killing and murder, perfectly, as I see it. This admission rubbed in the judges face, I'm assuming. The murderer's words twisting like a jagged-edged sword in the guts of the judge, family, friends, and the bulging eyes of everyone in the court the monster aims to torment. Great job, and good luck in the contest. :-)

Wow. You've entered a Flash Fiction for the contest, which is a powerful teaser. This is a great opening to your story. I look forward to reading more of it. Of course, this is the sort of thing that causes a problem for me and my writing. I get hooked on a good story and want to finish it, putting me behind in skill, story, and goal.

Hi Phillip;
I've got two things to finish before I can continue work on this story. I'm glad you liked the beginning. I had never entered a contest for flash fiction before - I didn't think I could make a point in 100 words,

I entered my first for the 18th of this month, but I did not think about the full story aim. I was blown away with the great opener and did not think about the full story idea.

Well, done, Patty! I reckon you got the difference between killing and murdering sorted out in a few simple phrases; plus you added a whole new story. Gripping until the end.
"With my hands around her neck, I felt her pulse slow and eventually stop."
I bet the Judge's pulse slowed down until his heart almost stopped too!
Not many cold-blooded murderers admit to their crimes, but we know some do.

Two well explained definitions: that of murder and that of killing. There's a huge difference between the two and you've explained that difference perfectly.
Good luck in the contest.

Well, that gives "murder" a personal definition. But there's first and second degrees and strangers do accidentally murder someone by driving drunk in their cars. Very dramatic conversation.

Omg, that is something that I never thought about before right now. Well thought out and clearly written. Great narrative tone. Creative. Scary... More so if it's a truth. Good luck in the contest :)

Hi;
thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I came to the conclusion about this difference after watching too many hours of Law and Order. I appreciate your well wishes,

Seems the wily prosecutor knew exactly how to draw a confession out of "Mr. Riley".

This character comes across as better than everybody else, until he gets his comeuppance.

Wonder if he realized the gravity of his confession after he said the words? That seemed to be implied.

Should make an interesting entry into this contest.
