A chapter in the book Snippets

Demise

by Brett Matthew West



Background
A collection of 150 word, or less, short stories.
She sold her wares in town. However, I could not allow her to tarnish my good name. So, I quickly plotted her demise. Question remained how to carry out my elaborate scheme without drawing suspicion.

I imagined knowing this woman much better than I did. But, can a man ever figure out one of the species without looking like a fool?

History says it's not going to happen. Rumor told me this had occurred for quite a while. The whole scene nauseated me so its end must rapidly manifest.

We planned a quaint candlelight dinner at our favorite restaurant on Lake Gilman. There I would carry out my sinister intentions and rid myself of this distraction.

Peking duck, a chilled bottle of Chardonnay, and a little dose of arsenic. My plan went off without a hitch.

Then the bullet from her pimp's gun deeply entered my chest.




Two murders for the price of one.

Good rate these days would you not agree?








Thanks debi777 for the use of your picture. It goes so nicely with my little story.
