    Aha, yes, the old cement trick. Good take on the prompt, but what I like is your Microfiction instructions line, where it says "preferably fiction" - that cracked me right up!

    A good "Whoa!" to such a suspenseful and thought-provoking piece! I even imagined who I thought the author might truly be! ("Jim" is just your pseudonym, right?)

    Excerpted from my blog comments: "BTW, my common name really is Jim, a nickname for my given name, James."

    Rats! I was high-hoping you might be Snoopy!
