After I tried living in that stinky city fogged with asthma-inducing smoke for two long years, I am finally back to my bucolic peaceful home.
I regret leaving, because apparently no one noticed that I left, no one knew why I left.
No one was able to figure out how I successfully chopped her into pieces, and how I intricately buried her lovely doll-like parts around that rhino-ranch.
I thought that would be my shining moment! But it wasn’t!
In fact, her endearing lovely head remained lost. Well, I still have them, preserved in the best way that I could.
I am not back to give it back, though.
I am back because it’s time to look for her companion.
I hope this time my great skills will be known!

In response to Sunday Photo Fiction for February 14, 2016.
Sunday Photo Fiction is a weekly writing challenge hosted by Alastair Forbes where a photo is used as a prompt for a piece of fiction using around 200 words. The piece doesn’t have to center around exactly what the photo is, it can be just used as a basis for a story.
Oh, wow…the serial killer returns. A great piece of fiction, Rosema 🙂

Yes, Mel. This is the kind of stories that I am full smile after I have written it. I have necrophobia but the gross and brutal details of crime/mystery novels fascinates me. Odd eh? 🙂

Not gross, but very intriguing. There is blood but it’s not as grisly as I had feared. They are good books. I’ve read the whole series. If you like mysteries and thrillers, you’ll like it.

Yes! I liked it a lot! I was actually surprised when I learned that it was her! (Because I have never read a Harry Potter novel or even watch a film. HEHE)
But it is really gross yet great! She is a gifted writer, indeed!

YAY! I know it was good. It won’t get that kind of fandom it wasn’t. It’s just I am afraid my imagination won’t be fit for the book. 😀 I mentioned it to you how my imagination isn’t too wide that is why I am no fond of magical tales. Your Shayari tales are actually my first ‘try’ in reading magical fiction. 🙂

I don’t think you’ll have any trouble. The books are very descriptive and there isn’t a lot of magic.

Talk about the “shining.” Nice manic voice. His flaw is his desire for fame (well, that and feeling inclined to kill people). So maybe the story implies his (his? could be a her) own ending, too.

Oh a creepy story. You think he’s only a normal guy happy to move into the country away from the city smog but he has a secret — his wife’s chopped up body that he buries in his yard. I want to say to his wife’s lover — look out. He and the wife did a bad thing but he does t deserve to die! Great job Rosema. Goosies!
