The homemade jerkin jingled. Haha. That's one awesome line. I also enjoyed the throat-sounding hand in the trunk. I didn't see that one coming. Great stuff, S. E.

I love flash fiction... amazing what can be conveyed with a few words...

1. Is a hammer I wasn't expecting!

2. I couldn't quite talk to

3. Funny as heck, such a good punch line

4. Perhaps a missed warning/dropped ball?

5. Just perfect horror, and so relatable on many levels

Enjoyed this so much!

The cat one should tie into feline vengeance for cats who get degloved when they get into car trunks for warmth and people turn on their cars. The Quake one should tie into the massive fears PNW people sometimes entertain about the overdue Cascadian Fault earthquake.

My ideas, too, are open access 🙂

Read this days ago but just getting around to commenting. LOVED IT (what's new?). Especially "Ate." Chills.
