Ah well, i figured you wouldn't fall for the spooky bit.
I'm guessing the prank idea sprung up right away cause maybe you'd be one to pull a prank like that... Huh? Hehehe...
I was, in truth, going to make it a real skeleton at first, when i started writting it; but as i got towards the end, it already was so long, i decided not to. Then you end up with a whole other story line. I suppose i could have made it a 2 parter...
Thanks.

I dont' know what's creepyer the thought of that crazy thing grabbing you or the "her" you followed down to that crazy thing??
Scary piece, I like and don't like the light hearted end.. in a way I wanted to be super freaked at the end and in another way I was so damn relieved it wasn't a monster LOL..
Hehe, yeah, i entertained the idea of making it scarier, with a real monster, but then it would have had to be much longer and would have needed more description and detail... which would have turned it into a story as opposed to a poem. So i decided to make it a joke from the little boy's sister instead. Maybe someday, i'll turn it into a story and make it real, but i doubt it'll be any time soon...
Thanks for the comment.

Interesting. Though, I must admit, the idea of a prank was in my mind while I was reading it. So, the ending was sort of expected. It would have been nice to have a skeleton down there, but I see what you were saying (about it needing to be longer if it was a real "living" skeleton).
And how child-like... "I wasn't scared at all..." after she could plainly see he was. Nice touch.

To understand, you must stop and feel. Listen to your heart for it cannot tell a lie.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
