Friday Fictioneers – Rose
Well here we are, seven days on from the last time I Frificed, and I’m back. When was the last time I managed two weeks in a row? A while ago, that’s when.
This week, Rochelle has sent a pic of her very own
to inspire us all to create and to share our words with The Frog.
My effort is a bit different from last week’s, it’s more… well… I’m not one for spoilers, you’ll just have to read it yourself
Michael was always so understanding. He brought roses to our first date but when I explained I was born unable to smell, he bought glass replacements. We still have them on our table; and we named our daughter Rose in tribute.
As Rose grew older, her and Michael’s relationship floundered but, knowing I would hate to lose her, he converted the cellar into her own space, persuaded her to stay.
Until the night she left without saying goodbye. We were distraught, uncomprehending.
Some weeks later, the police led Michael away.
They opened the cellar door and recoiled, covering their noses.
Ha ha Hideous! Love it
Thank you 🙂
Eek! Terrifying stuff!
Thanks Iain
In his defence, he was thoughtful to his wife
Like the neighbours interviewed on the news say, he always seemed such a nice man
Just as I was getting to like Michael, that happened! A clever twist.
Click to read my FriFic tale!
It’s the nice friendly ones you have to look out for! Thanks for reading
What you didn’t write turns my stomach. What a horrible (excellent) twist to a story that starts so sweet and harmless.
That’s exactly what I was after, thank you!
To his own daughter… *shudder*!
I know. I don’t know where that came from…
Thankfully this is only fiction….
Right?
Yes it is!
A lot about their relationship goes unsaid, most of it unpalatable. Skilfully turned at the end there.
Thanks Sandra. This is one of those occasions where the story had so much more to it than the 100 words would allow
Dear RG,
That must’ve been a horrid relationship to make a father kill his own daughter. Well written.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I can’t imagine what went so badly wrong. Thanks for reading
Oh noooooooo
Geez…that was disturbing.
Thanks for reading Dawn
