Oh, no! I had thought about something quite similar to this! I love short stories with a twist at the end and the place just looked right to hide some bodies. Cold and still, alone.

Well, I guess I'll have to get those gears in my head spinning and think of something else! Or will I continue with my original plan? Probably not, I like these contests to have variety in the submissions.

It was a nice story, I could perfectly picture it. The sheriff's attitude is somewhat disturbing, as is the story in general. For a second I thought there would be some suicide ritual, something like that. In any case, nice entry! It's gonna be tough, I can see that already.

Upvoted!
