This is a great entry for the 75 Word Story writing prompt. I was glued to it from the beginning to the end. I hope this story does well in the contest. Good luck!

A very well-written seventy-five word flash fiction about the search that leads to definite evidence that the accused is guilty and there is a whole refrigerator full of pieces.

Wow! What a Story! And in only 75 words! You develop tension on the reader that is released at the end (partially) as it may start another story linked with this one. I really do not want to be the rookie officer.::!

I thank you not to have a picture in this poem, but I really do not know if it was better than our imagination...

    Oh no! I didn't mean not to have a picture with this piece. It was storming and I had to do it all from my phone and I overlooked that. I will see about adding one.

    Not a Problem, author! I was commenting about not to place a picture -specifically- of the "finding"! I just say that as a way to intrigue even more to the reader... But it is your writing and your command is respected. Now, I remember reading your comment about the storm..
    Have a good time!

Oh my goodness, this kind of discovery is chilling and imagine living next to someone with this going on! Your words sent a shiver down my spine even though the detectives had their case in the bag, or in this case in the freezer! Love Dolly x

Great entry for the 75 Word Story writing prompt contest.

I love scary stories. Your flash fiction has a good story and twist at the end. Good word count. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for pointing those out. It was hard typing and turning it in from my dying phone in the dark, during a storm.

This is nicely done and creepy. I like the ending although I'm not sure about the repetition of "we got him". You have so few words to use it seems a waste to use some for repetition but that's just my opinion. Thanks for sharing this and have a great day

Well, frozen human parts sure sounds like damning evidence to me.
I can only hope the cops had a valid search warrant.
Burns sounds like jaded cop to me.

Best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee
