“Out to pasture,” he spat out grumpily.
“But, dad, where exactly?” asked Sam, his voice shaking.
“Doesn’t matter. It’s gone for good.”
A mournful, lonesome howl rose from the darkness behind them.
“I wouldn’t be too sure about that,” shivered the boy.
The kid knows better 🙂
Yep! Are you scared yet? 😉
Isn’t it? I loved this prompt!
Good call. I think I would too 😀
Well, he tried 😉 Points for the attempt 😀
Thank you 🙂
Halloween special huh? Spooky!!
Spooky. Perfect for Halloween. 😀
I would be running were I Sam.
Haha! Yeah, you can’t get rid of a wolverine that easy. They pretty much go anywhere they want to. Great story! 🙂
Spooky and eery! 🙂
Yes! Exactly what I was going for! Thanks 🙂
That’s probably wise 🙂
Why, thank you! 🙂
Thanks Joe! Welcome to the blog 🙂
Yes I agree. There should be more meat in this story to really draw the reader in. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
The tension is great in this piece, the fear palpable. Somehow I think the wolverine will be back to wreck havoc. Nicely done!
I won’t go into these woods ever!
Oh spooky, I love it. You conveyed a lot in so few words.
I liked the tension, the boys fear was palpable!
I loved the photo at the top of the page and the dialogue works really well with the setting. You might need to expand the tension a bit to draw the reader in a little more, but I understand, flash fiction has its word limitations.
Perfect setting for Halloween, right? 😀
Thank you!
Maybe the wolverine finally got its fill for the night.
Oh! Sam’s dad is being too strict! Wonder what that howling means?
Nice tension!
Spooky .. I wonder what was the howl ..
What have they dine. . Oh no..
