Ashes in His Mouth
By CFEditor
The excitement of a successful hunt mixed with anticipation of his new life. He stretched out languidly, smelling chocolate, nibbling at the cookies his love had baked. At ease, he imagined stroking her soft blond hair, kissing her sweet lips, looking into eyes shining with excitement and love.
He closed his eyes, waiting for her to finish in the bathroom.
The first drop of blood hit. His eyes flew open.
Jess!
Pinned to the ceiling, her broken body mangled by his past… her eyes sightless, wide in terror. The flames burst forth.
Chocolate chip cookies would never taste the same.
