Rochelle Wisoff-Fields-Addicted to Purple hosts the flash fiction challenge called
Friday Fictioneers!
Take the challenge to write a piece of flash fiction in 100 words using the weekly picture prompt.
A single rose, lies amongst rotting debris, under the icicle encrusted tree.
Detective Ingram crouches by the yellow marker. poking the leaves with the end of his pen, held by a gloved hand. He leans away and wrinkles his nose.
Moving them aside, a ringed finger protrudes from the soil, where the cadaver spaniel alerted them to the corpse.
Ingram glances toward Officer Scott, as he announces, “We’ve got a letter over here. What does this mean, sir?”
“There is a second victim that hasn’t been found yet. Somewhere there’s another body We are now looking for a serial killer!”
Genre – Crime (100 words)

Loved the imagery. I hope Inspector Ingram finds the serial killer soon, or I’ll never be able to go out in the snow again 🙂

Liked this for the writing, not the crime scene. Grim! I’m glad there are inspectors who do this work, but they must have nightmares.
