A well written horror story that was just a tad disgusting. (no offense meant). I'm not really into graphic horror at all. You did a great job. Have a wonderful evening. Shirley

I'm not a fan of horror, Brett, but I made it through this one. Maybe because it's so far fetched I couldn't really envision it, not because it isn't well written. Your imagery is quite disturbing. Good luck in the contest.

Well, he certainly is a nightmareologist! You developed your horror story well ... and for one who did not know his thoughts and attitudes, I was deceived into thinking he would be some sort of hero! Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

I started out wanting to be strictly a horror writer, but it didn't take long for me to figure out that it probably takes a bigger and better imagination than mine. But that didn't keep me from still loving to read it. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a six.

    Always appreciate your comments and reviews. Don'T ask me where Doctor Howler came from. Never been big on writing horror stories...then he showed up one day.

This certainly fits the bill for the horror writing contest, and best of luck with it. This reminds me of an old TV show where this character, Sammy Terry, introduces old horror movies. Brandon enjoys seeing pain inflicted on others, whether he does it himself or just watches someone else. It sounds like Brandon is ready for another victim. I'm wondering if Brandon morphs into Dominic. Exciting story. judi

That is pretty horrible all right. You just may win the contest. This man and the ape have an understanding. I think I rather see the ape tear her apart that let Brandon carve her up breast first. It don't sound like the quickest way to go.

I don't think I've ever read anything quite like this before, it just goes to show, one can never be sure what new story will emerge from that rich well of creative thinking that is the soul of writing, well done Brett, very inventive, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

This was certainly not for the squeamish. The oxymoron of him saving her from certain doom with the alligators only to end up killing her his own way wasn't what I was expecting. The action was good and spread out. Your descriptions of the ants and the pain they were inflicting was well written. Only suggestion would be to mention the smell of the decaying deer corpse. I'm sure there was an intense smell. Other than that, it was a creepy little ride. Gretchen

Hi Brett, somehow I have missed all these stories, which is kind of strange as I a fan of yours and get notified. But there you go. It's well written and full of suspense, I dare say, but I would certainly not use it as child's bedtime story. Ulla:)))

Nice story. well written.
Her arms sploshed the water- sploshed: is this British, or Australian?
feet threshed about wildly - threshed: same question
Good luck in the contest.
