I use to do the same thing (not wet my pants) :) but chase my brothers with "the claw" That chicken leg looked good when it flexed. :) Your brother had lots of fun, your mother had lots of work. :) This is a good offering for the True Story Flash. Take care of yourself.

So your outrageous imagination started early, huh? You can attribute it to the chicken foot. I love that you let yourself get lost in the fantasy. You could live in a pretend world. That's awesome.
I loved your story, and I predict a winner for you. You have a great intro and closing, and I enjoyed the characterization of the children and your mom.
Great job. I'm just out of sixes.

A very impressive story told in only 100 words. You set the scene perfectly with your DESCRIPTION of terrified Jennifer running from The Claw. Then we learn why she%'s running, then laughing. The amusing ending was a terrific way to focus on her again. Rod

Enjoyed your true-story flash fiction Lisa May, and your added author notes. It sounds like something a brother would enjoy. We had chickens too, I remember the way they still moved when their heads were chopped. I don't know how we ever ate them. Good luck in the contest,
cheers,

This is a fun write, drawing the reader in by starting of with terror and ending in a bit of childish fun. Very inventive and a joy to read Lisa, love Dolly x

Ha! Ha! I'm sure that would be scary! If you did that to me even at my age now, I'd be sure to wet my pants! Heck, I wet my pants anyway every time I laugh! It's an old people thing!

Delightful! Wouldn't have guessed this was true--thanks for the footnotes. Great description of encroaching terror; vivid and fresh imagery: pearlized talons. What a treat--with pay to boot. Cheers. LIZ
Back with congrats on your prize--not in the least surprised!

Great way to tell a story that makes the reader think one thing, but which actually ends up being another thing, from the proper perspective. I didn't see anything to improve on. The title reminded me just slightly of a reference to an American movie from 1997. Scary/fun read!

You tell this really well. I like the pace of the peace and the way it seems so creepy but the twist is it's just a kids game. Well done and thanks for sharing this
