Little Murder...






The stealthy steps of the perpetrator trod over the loose gravel of the garden path making a sinister, almost imperceptible, noise.





The Moon looked down and could see her light reflected by the ominous Scissors in the gloved hand, and scared hid her face behind a dense cloud.




The path led the obscure evil to its target and there was a moment of silence, then...

Clip...

The horrendous sound ended, and in seconds the target, separated from its stem, rested on the gloved hand.

Leaving the bush to mourn its loss, the criminal walked into the shadows holding a glorious American Beauty to scent the life of who killed it.





The music is a fragment of "The Last Waltz" by Paul Mauriat and his Orchestra.

    Oh...this is so nice even if the title makes me shudder a bit! Loved the way you penned your thoughts in this microstory. It's also a refreshing read for me this evening. FYI, I'm trying to breathe between piles of documents!

    A bit more, this story has the suspense moments and you have got everything so compact and makes this story great! Loved it!

    Thanks, Od! :)

      Thank you BB!

      Walk away from the pile of papers from time to time, walk the garden, and let life surf your veins!

      Thank YOU for your support, BB.

    As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from Lymes, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My husband suffered from Lymes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and I saw testimony of so many people who were cured from Lymes , and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Lymes. I never imagined Lymes had a cure not until I contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.Lymes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua can cure Herpes,Hiv,Cancer,ALS,Copd,HPV,Lupus,MS,Diabetes, and other disease talk to Dr Itua on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony . www.drituaherbalcenter.com
