Welcome to Wednesday’s flash fiction wherein I write as part of a group based on the same short prompt and post them. Here’s my contribution.
I stepped through the mahogany doors. Posh. The inspector straightened beside a desk revealing the man slumped over it.
Posh and gory.
“The victim had tried to write something as he was dying,” the inspector gestured to a piece of parchment.
I read the few visible words. I, Nikhil Monolito, being of sound mind name– A will fragment. That explained my presence.
“No one the lord’s estate contested,” he said.
Slipping off my glove, I placed a finger against the man’s temple. “That’s why I’m here.” The words left my tongue thickly, my mind elsewhere. Time to hunt the dead.
Don’t forget to read the other’s takes on the prompt. More stories go up throughout the day. Be sure to check our page on Facebook for updates as everything becomes available: WonHundred Words.
