“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 🙂
Halloween special huh? Spooky!!
Yep! Are you scared yet? 😉
Spooky. Perfect for Halloween. 😀
Isn’t it? I loved this prompt!
I would be running were I Sam.
Good call. I think I would too 😀
Haha! Yeah, you can’t get rid of a wolverine that easy. They pretty much go anywhere they want to. Great story! 🙂
Well, he tried 😉 Points for the attempt 😀
Spooky and eery! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
The tension is great in this piece, the fear palpable. Somehow I think the wolverine will be back to wreck havoc. Nicely done!
Yes! Exactly what I was going for! Thanks 🙂
I won’t go into these woods ever!
That’s probably wise 🙂
Oh spooky, I love it. You conveyed a lot in so few words.
Why, thank you! 🙂
I liked the tension, the boys fear was palpable!
Thanks Joe! Welcome to the blog 🙂
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.
Yes I agree. There should be more meat in this story to really draw the reader in. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
Oh! Sam’s dad is being too strict! Wonder what that howling means?
Maybe the wolverine finally got its fill for the night.
Nice tension!
Thank you!
Spooky .. I wonder what was the howl ..
What have they dine. . Oh no..
Perfect setting for Halloween, right? 😀
