I took her hand. Her eyes welled with tears.
“You know we have to figure this out,” I said, keeping my voice low. “We can’t just leave without doing something.”
“I don’t know what I’m doing, though,” she whined softly, her shirt falling open as she shifted her legs. I had unbuttoned the soft flannel an hour earlier. I smiled, in a way that I hoped was reassuring.
She rubbed her hands on her bare thighs, trying to stay warm. She bit her lip and looked up at me.
“It’s just that,” she sighed, “I’ve never killed anyone before, ya know?”
WHOA!! Excellent imagery, was right there with the sexual tension before the surprising slam into murder. What happens next prey tell?
Thank you, Connie! 🙂
A stunning surprise ending. DEFINITELY MY KIND OF STORY! Hope to see a lot more of your work.
Thank you Bobby! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll be sure to submit again. 🙂
THAT is a good one. Gives the moment, the tension between the two, well-chosen images, but leaves you wondering about a whole lot more. Thumbs up.
You had me at the end. Great surprise! Nice work!
