A teeny-weeny tale…

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers

I’m still here you know. You all thought I perished when my cottage collapsed the other night. None of you shed a tear for me, did you? But you didn’t know about the tunnel where I sought refuge.

I’d served time for a crime I didn’t commit. You all despised me and thought me guilty.  But it wasn’t me. When I returned home the real perpetrator worried the truth would out. So he tried disposing of me by destroying my home with me inside.

Didn’t you!

You think I’m dead. A dead man can’t commit murder. I’m coming for you.

Soon, very soon.

    Look Keith, be reasonable, it was just an accident. We had no idea you had survived!

    You shouldn’t point… it’s rude. But I understand the sentiments.

    That was really good, Keith. I loved the pointing finger. You brought us into the story. That type of revenge is bloodthirsty. Well done. —- Suzanne

    Ah sweet vengeance. Moral of the story, if you’re going to kill someone, kill them good.

    Nice, that picture so provokes some scary tales or what. You’ve kept me wondering about how this will work out

    Oh no, now he becomes a true criminal. He should just walk away! But, seems determined at vengeance. I really enjoyed the voice in the story.

    Was evil always or did his unfair treatment cause him to be evil?
    A thoughtful piece…you’ve got me thinking!

    Hi there! After doing fiction all through AtoZ, I’ve started my own Fiction Fridays. I don’t have a link up, but if you ever feel like participating, I’m putting out a prompt (given to me through my comments) for the next week. I’m still going through the AtoZ Master LIst, so that’s where I found you.

    A complete mini crime drama- I think the innocent one means business ! His victim should be afraid, very afraid….

    Epistolary fiction in a flash, and addressed to the reader. An ingenious and very effective technique for this story, Keith. Well done!

    Wow, Keith. One of your best, I think. The bitterness and hatred are palpable. I’m glad I don’t live in your neighborhood 🙂
