Hello and welcome to another edition of Rochelle’s weekly challenge of a story in 100 words – Friday Fictioneers – based on the marvelous photo prompt kindly provided by Dale. I had so many threads running for this one that I just kept vacillating between them. Anyway ultimately settled on the first one. Hope you like π If you like you may click here to read and add your own story. See you there!

FF: Child’s Play
Words 100
βYour pills darling.β Rekha hugged her new husband, βThanks for fixing the lights and my favorite pink roses.β
βBut,β Jim frowned, βI didnβt fix the lights or send roses. Donβt you prefer red?β
βWho could it be in this deserted place? Stalker? Ghost?β
βDonβtβ¦β
The lights flickered and a disembodied voice spoke. βShaina my loveβ¦.β
βWhβ¦whoβ¦β Jim quavered gripping Rekha.
βGet away from my wifeβ¦β
βSheβs my wife.β
βSheβs mine. Leave her or youβre deadβ¦β
βNooooo!β Jim screamed and collapsed at Rekhaβs feet.
βWell that was easy.β Rohit emerged from the shadows.
βI told you he was terrified of ghosts.β

Thanks for visiting. Looking forward to hearing from you as well. Have a grand weekend.
I hope Jim rose up like a ghost and frightened the cheating couple.

Oh what a twist!
I am sure one day the child’s play will turn into a nightmare for them both.
They can’t keep killing unsuspected new husbands. May be Rohit’s ex will come to settle the scores.
Cheers..
