Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent yet very naughty entry for the Flash Fiction contest! Yes, I said it. That was very naughty! I was tearing up at the thought of a sweet little puppy laying dead in the road and then we learn that a gnarled black sweater has reached its demise! NAUGHTY! But a good story and a great twist as much as I hate to admit it. Good luck in the contest.

LOL. Super review - you made me laugh. It was a bit naughty - but did I ever say it was an "animal"? Even my title said "NOT another hit and run!" Lol, I did have fun here. Thank you so much for reviewing. No need for tears or tissues after all.

What a clever ending for a clever story. I love your ending. It's difficult to get a really great surprise ending, but you achieved it. I hope this is a winner in the contest.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
A good twist with the black jumper, Wendy in your flash fiction story. At first I was thinking a dog, then I though that a bird had been knocked, but no, 'twas a jumper. And it will be needed as it's getting cooler now. Well done, a good story.
cheers,

Wait! It's much too late for April Fools!

SWEATER!?
You got me, but good, Wendy!

Lol. Glad I got you!! Hoping I wasn't being too predictable - but I didn't actually SAY it was a dead animal, now did I? Thanks so much for a great review. Made me laugh!! A poor deceased ... sweater!!

I HAVE a sweater that deserves such a fate...
Alas, it is raggedy but oh so warm and toasty!
What a great flash!

Just when I was beginning to feel sorry for a wounded animal left on the road, Jane's discovery gave the story a surprise ending. it was a black sweater. Very creative. Best wishes in the contest.

I must admit that there's nothing more distressing than seeing a poor dead animal, even someone's dear precious pets. This is a most concerning thing, good luck, blessings Roy

Lol. But it wasn't a dead animal - it was a black cardigan. That was the twist at the end. Thank you for reviewing.

Not very smart, that?s me

Lol. You weren't the only one to think it was an animal (even though I never said so). I wanted people to think it was, right to the last sentence, and then voilą - a happy ending. Thanks Roy.

That?s good Wendy

Comment from T B Botts
Well done Wendy,
you set the stage for some tragic event, and I was certain it was a little poodle or a kitten, but then it turned out to be a sweater. I loved this. Your imagination is serving you well. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Tom
