Secrets discovered (Friday Fictioneers)

“What did you do?”
“Me? I don’t know what you mean?” Though I knew exactly what she was talking about. All of the roses were currently headless, and the bleeding secateurs were still in my hand.
“You’re going to lie to me? Really?”
I didn’t have an excuse. I did it. “Jack.”
She visibly flinched.
“So you knew?” Well, if she thought Jack’s roses were the only ones getting the snip she had another thing coming. I stormed toward the backyard.
“Bee, no. Not my tulips.”
Very shortly there would be more murders. They were lucky I targeted only flowers.

Rambles, writing and amusing musings 
Dear Laurie
I enjoyed that! Revenge taken, but only symbolically. Slick, precise writing to tell an entertaining story!
Best wishes
Penny
Thank you Penny. I struggled a bit with the pic this week. Glad it worked. 😊
Boy, me, too! Took awhile to come up with something. That’s what it’s all about.
😃
Power can be a terrible thing. And when the power derives from other people’s secrets, especially so
So very very true Neil. These days i think very few people think beyond they own lives to how another feels.
I wonder if they stop at flowers or whether that is just the start that leads to more. A sweet revenge.
Hhhhmmmmm i wonder indeed Iain 😉
The poor flowers, Laurie.
Yes John. So true. They bare the brunt of this story
😀
As long as she limits her revenge to the flowers….
Well I sure hope thats where it stops
Dear Laurie,
A blooming flower murderer. Oh dear! Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle. Yes those poor flowers
“Off with their heads!” That certainly can make one feel better.
I think so! 😊
A lose-lose situation, and not just for the poor flowers.
Yes there is no coming back from this.
Took me twice through to get the whole picture, but it was well worth it. Well done.
Thanks Gran!
I’m afraid this war can only escalate… please tell me that none of the sweet girls have a loved Pekingese
No pets thank goodness! Only the prized flowers.
You pack the emotion into this – so tense. I hope the garden is small and there aren’t many more blooms to suffer 😉
Thank you Sarah Ann. I think she might be done… for now 😊
