She stared at him, eyes wild, mouth open. Then she turned and ran.
I remember this one from the first time around. It still gave me a chill at the end.
Yes. Thank you, Jim. There is a lot of story left to fill in here, a lot of room for conjecture.
Oh, boy. Those situations rarely de-escalate. It doesn't end well. Is there room to wonder who might leave who...dead?
Yes, absolutely. A lot of room for speculation here. I can't imagine it turning out well, though, even if she uses a plea of "self-defense".
Oooh, what intrigue!!! The opening line really drew me in!!
Good! Thank you, Elle. I am sure there is more to this tale. I hope it reveals itself to me.
Chilling!
I know. That last line was so dark it really got to me. Thanks for reading, Connie.
🫨🫨 This was awesome. It played out like a movie scene in my mind!
Ooooh. That is a good sign, Kristi, thank you. My writing does tend to lean to the visual side -- even these micro-fictions.
I love all your short little posts. I look forward to them!
Thank you, Kristi!
What a twist.... Grabs you!
I think this is one of my more successful micro-fictions. The ending made my own heart jump! Not all of my little pieces can do that.
That's quite an impact. Excellent!
Oh! Thank you, Ben. I have written a novel and several short stories, but I prefer working on this micro-fiction scale. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. You know how it is.
All too well!
WEll then, done.
Thank you, Kate, for reading this a second time. It is one of my favorites.
I hope she did
Well, yes, me too. And I hope she finds a good pro bono lawyer. She is going to need it.
Well done!
Thank you for reading my short pieces! I am sure fascinated with your story of Lisa Rose.
A very powerful story.
Thank you, Janice.
Ditto, Jim. Chilling, both times I read it Maybe because , in that situation, I'd want to leave him dead.
Oh, I think I remember this one - such a great story! It's made me shiver all over again, Sharron!
Thanks! I was surprised, myself, at the ending of this one. This poor woman is in real trouble.
