Well, I guess he is not okay at all, and is never going to be. You built up the tension well leaving the reader to wonder what he was guilty of. Best wishes for your entry.

Wow. How did you do that so perfectly? Sixty of the most well-chosen words for a story that included everything: intrigue, shame, hopelessness, excitement, fear and remorse. You are seriously good, Mystery Contestant. I haven't read all the selections yet, but this certainly seems like the one to beat!! Good luck! xo

Oops! You've included quite a story here and I'm feeling quite dizzy just looking at the visual. Your 60 word dash is well expressed with a great ending. Well done and good luck! Debbie

This entry for the 60 WORD DASH writing prompt contest is funny in a dark humor kind. I didn't see it coming.

Good flash fiction form and word count.

Good luck in the contest.

What an impact. Then, to have the text come in as he was falling. Nothing he could do about it now. Maybe she would have forgiven him, stayed by his side? Heartbreaking. And you are going to be hard to beat.

Very original and clever. The twist at the end was not at all expected. It is not easy to use a specific number of words to tell a story--and you have succeeded with excellence.

That is a sad little state of affairs. Shouldn't have killed that hooker last Saturday night, or robbed the bank, or embezzled that million. Ahhh so many questions, so few answers.

Good piece. Keeps the readers guessing!

Hmm. An intriguing and quite clever little Flash, although I am not that sure you could read a text on the way down! Still, a good idea and I wish you luck with the contest.

Not a bad idea but I think you bombed the ending. Surely he's not reading the text message as he falls. Everything else is from his point of view, so this really has to be too, but it's just not possible.

You could keep the story basically the same but just switch the whole thing to third person (Eye of God) narration...

Good luck.

Steve
