55Flash Fiction Friday

Do you even get up today?
If so it may be the last thing you do.

There is a serial killer on the loose.
Why is he killing those women?
Will I be next?

You get ready for another day.
You must get the day started
You just hope today will not be your last

- - -

You question why you do what you do while getting dressed
Do you even make a difference?
Why is he still on the loose?

Today all the police work you have been a part of

over the past month
will finally pay off

and put a serial killer behind bars.

Yes, you make a difference.

- - -

You have killed before
and you will kill again
Who will be next.
Surely she deserves
to be you next victim.

It is so easy,
the cops are such a fool.
They will never catch you.

Just at that very moment you hear a from outside your door
“Police, you are surrounded, give yourself up”

The above is all fictitious losely based on a real event. I do not pretend to know what is going through the minds of the people who are in threat for their lives, the police and certainly not a serial killer. But I thought it might be interesting to head off in three different but similar directions. So I packed it up into a three fer ... a 355 if you will.

For some reason I could not come up with anything to write about and then when I headed down this path, it just would not stop.

There has been a serial killer plaguing the Mid Michigan area for a month now. He has potentially killed four women and battered another who survived. Yesterday they arrested a suspect that they are fairly certain is the killer. We can only hope.

Sorry to send you off into a lovely holiday (at least here in the states) weekend with such a not nice story. I am sure I have cutesy hiding around here somewhere... man walks into a bar... Oh wait, I know ... a blonde joke... ummm, I got nothing.

Have a wonderful weekend.

P.S. Lime, should you stop by, notice I do not have all the colors of a rainbow but the colors I did use are in rainbow order... :)
