Well, you certainly did a great job of drawing me in and creating interest. But then you cut the story short with crack of his spine and the quiver as he dangled from his elongated neck until all was silent and still.
Thanks for sharing.

    Ric,
    Thanks for your review. Yes, that little extra, would have increased the impact factor. Perhaps a bit too gruesome. The piece tied for first place. Who knows what might have happened.?Take care and have a wonderful day.

    My comments weren't a recommendation, Barry. I was just being silly. Your story was outstanding. Personally, I'm not a fan of all the graphic sex, violence, and vulgar details used as shock factors.

This sounds like a terrible experience and I am relieved that it is all fiction. I once had to attend an early morning scene where a man had hung himself in the park overnight and it was definitely a nightmare, your story gave me the chills, love Dolly x

I once did that as a nutty teenager thinking the rope would unravel, fortunately it wasn't my time, my silly scheme backfired, but apart from a bit of rope burn, I was unhurt, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Wow! Now that's something I would not want to witness. How haunting to think someone was just climbing a tree and then seconds later, he is dead, hanging from the tree. Well done.
Smiles, Carol
