Player Two

Posted on May 13, 2022 by Allison Ketchell under #oxj, 366FF, flexvss, horrorprompt, microfiction, vssmystery

“With the #internet down, we can make a real #connection on your lunch #break. You’re always playing that morbid video game.”

“Ugh! This tea tastes like #flowers.”

After Lisa moved Steve’s body and fixed her router #hack, she happily killed zombies. “My turn at last.”

A Snowdrop By Any Other Name

Posted on May 24, 2021 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, vssdaily

“They’re so hopeful,” she said, “like #irises in the #snow.” He rolled his eyes. “Irises don’t grow in snow. Snowdrops do. Hence the name.” His #highfalutin ways were grating on her nerves. Little things do #escalate, she thought. She’d bury him under the irises.

Secret Ingredients

Posted on November 8, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, microfiction, VSS365

“Oh, this #fudge is #divine. Chocolate is the #chief flavor, of course, but what’s that #earthy undertone? Coffee? Some kind of liqueur?” “Chef’s secret,” she said, smiling, eyes darting to the bottle of poison. “Another piece?” #vss365 #vss365 #bravewrite

An Unexpected Corpse

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under ficchills, flexvss, halloween, horror, microfiction, vssmurder

You expect the inhabitants of a #cemetery to be well below ground level, safely locked in pine boxes, but Ruby trips over a #headless one on her shortcut home. Why would someone #dismember the #candy shop owner? #vssmurder #ficchills #flexvss

No Second Date, Then?

Posted on October 12, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, flexvss, halloween, horror, microfiction, VSS365, vssmurder

“I’m in a bit of a #bind. Could you #pretend to #chat with me?” Hal was dazzled by her beauty and let her lead him away from the crowd, into a dark corner. He didn’t suspect anything was amiss until he heard her low #growl. #vssmurder #366FF #vss365 #flexvss

A Surprising Confession

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, flexvss, halloween, microfiction, mystery, VSS365, vssmurder

“I’m here to confess to that murder on the news.” Sergeant Holt took in the white hair, the bent #back, the #cane. “Ma’am, can I help you get home?” “You don’t think I could #impale a fellow? That’s just #ableism. Why do you think I knit?” #vss365 #flexvss #whistpr #bravewrite

A Nice Cup of Tea

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, halloween, microfiction, mystery, vssmurder

Victoria watched the two old ladies in the corner of the shop sipping tea. It was a pity she couldn’t hear their conversation. “Oh, I like a nice #gruesome #bludgeoning!” one said. The other made a face. “Too messy. I always prefer a quick #impalement.” #366FF #vssmurder
