After I left her apartment, I headed straight to The Fox’s Den. Just nabbed my third client this month. Time for a celebratory drink.
The place was packed. I slithered up to the bar next to an attractive brunette reading the paper. Just my type.
“Buy you a drink?”
She turned and examined me.
“I won’t beat around the bush,” I said. “I typically get what I want.”
She smirked, rolling her dovelike eyes. “And what, exactly, do you want?”
I glanced at the headline: PREDATOR PROWLS THE STREETS OF NEW YORK. I flashed a menacing smile.
“Care to find out?”
Yet again, you have chosen to publish a story that is entirely inappropriate given the unremitting violence occurring daily in our country and world. Please stop.
Loved it
I do not believe stories about predators are the same as encouraging predators. Personally I write murder stories and I’ve never murdered anybody.
This is really creative! I really enjoyed the originality of this story!
Enjoyed this. Economical with words. Hooks throughout but the reader didn’t really know what mc was up to until the last line.
