You did a great job, John. Your little story was
succinct and believable. Of course, hunting for
food is way different than sport hunting. I'm
thrilled you thought about what was about to
happen and chose not to follow through just for
thrills.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Our birds are fairly safe in the skies away from humans except for guns. These lethal weapons created to kill humans and animals are indeed the curse of our lives, a poignant write John, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly.
Never picked up a gun after that day? about 54 years ago.
Holy cannoli, that?s a long way back.

You did a good job telling the story with just the "important" words. I am glad the bird flew away unharmed. I wouldn't like to hunt, either. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

You're doing a great job!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I'm sure that is something you regret, and that's why you no longer shoot. I hate it when we see people on the internet posing with their latest senseless kill. I think they are stopping that now, but I don't think they will stop the killing. I heard a couple got a lot of hate mail.
You did a great job eliminating those words, it reads really well. When I started reading, I thought the shot was a camera shot. Lol. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Spitfire
Perfect title and subtitle. I felt your preparation and your thrill at doing something that would earn you recognition from your father and friends. And then you see the children waiting to be fed and changed your mind about killing the mother. A six for your sensitivity and decision never to hunt again.

You did a good job paring out unnecessary words. What you kept is a story with a beginning, middle, and end. I do not see any room for improvement. Have an blessed day.

Comment from BethShelby
Thankfully, some things mattered more you than the joy of accomplishing something you though might get you a pat on the back. Everyone needs to think of the conquencies of thier actions before they make a mistake they might regret. Nice flash.

Comment from Ben Colder
Been there done that. Buck fever also but Army basic took that away. Good, writing you 67 words made sense to me. Amazing what less wording can say.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I think you did a great job eliminating unwanted words. That is my goal every time I write a novel. I try really hard to get them all, sometimes I miss some and sometimes I leave out too many and my reviewers catch it. This is a good write. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Nottoway
I love this piece as it reminds me of days long ago. I would take my Dad's shotgun out to go "hunting". Seldom did I shoot anything, but I remember so much I learned and enjoyed about the birds and other animals that were around.
