I sense his malignant presence as my parlous mission brings
me to his door.
My feelings remain as dark as the clouds huddled in the
sky. My stomach churning at the sight of
the plastic bag and its contents
“Turn on the video feed,” the command crackles in my
headphone.
I signal my partner to remain in the shadows as we edge
towards the door.
Yesterday love was
such an easy game to play.
We kick the door down and there he is, in our gun-sight,
still carving his latest victim.
Endgame.

Dear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteTwisty windy and tense. I like the way you used Yesterday. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks for your comments Rochelle, I am glad that worked.
DeleteInteresting construction. An apt tribute, given the news today about Sir George Martin
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sandra. I tried to use the music of Beatles and George Martin in the two stories this week.
DeleteThe line "yesterday love was such an easy game to play" is sticking with me . Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe Beatles did it so well, I just used their lines. Thanks for your comments Ansumani I am glad you liked it.
DeleteThis one is diametrically opposite in pace and mood compared to the previous one. Modern, gory, violent and shocking.
ReplyDeleteI had to write a contrasting story after this :-) Thanks for your comments Umashanker.
DeleteWell at least they got him in the end. Well done. I loved the descriptions and the feelings.
ReplyDeleteThey did indeed! Thanks for reading and commenting Jenny.
DeleteUgh... carving his last victim. Very intense, very dark, and the song gives it just the extra something. Great story.
ReplyDeleteNot anyone's favourite guy I think. Thank you for your comments Gabriele.
DeleteReally dark tale this time, Subroto, but well written. Thanks for the music. ---- Suzanne
