Oh, cool! It sounds creepy and fun! Let's see...yes, I do have money in my Paypal account! muahahaha!
Oh, even more cool! I didn't have to pay to read it. :) That was an excellent little story! Good job!
Oh how sweet that you would have paid to read it. Thanks for that :)
That was a creepy story. I could almost feel the bog water around my knees.
Thanks, Jamie :)
Great little story, Catherine.
It reminded me of a little story an elderly neighbour told me about his father serving in the First World War. His dad had to lead a horse and ammo-laden cart across a bog every night, over a makeshift 'bridge' of planks. The weight of the cart would compress the mud and corpses would rise to the surface...
Picture that!
As usual, Cate, I stand in pure awe. Congrats, and you cn be sure this story makes my "pimping" list for the rest of the year!
Fun story. I'd think twice before I shot at anyone - or thing - that looked like my Mom.
Creepy.
I loved it. That was truly fun in a truly awful way (the only way worth having.) Fantastic imagery and just... let's just say I agree with Jamie.
And I really want some Ocean Spray.
Neat!
Thanks for reading it everyone - much appreciated.
*Reads*
Well, that put me off cranberry juice. ; )
PS: I submitted to Allegory last night. Small world!
Hope you story makes it into the January issue. Fingers crossed.
Nicely done! Short but sweet... you know, like berries. :)
