Blackmail #AtoZChallenge @AprilA2Z

My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Crime Stories in 55 Words. Today’s story, B is for Blackmail…

55 Fiction

Strange are the ways of life.

When it was all dark, you came as a ray of sunshine.

I am glad that we are working together after all these years.

It’s like filling two needs with one deed.

How true it is that friendships may fade away into nothing, but a little blackmail lasts forever.

  1. You had to mention Blackmail in the title…so i was searching for it while reading the post… Without that give away it would have given all the more goosebumps 🙂

    1. I know what you mean. I wonder how to do that because I have to mention the crime in the title. 😐

  2. Wait… What?
    This sounds like a ghost from the past coming back to haunt (literally)… for the rest of your life!
    If I got it right, then…. oh boy!

    1. Thank you so much, Sarah for your kind words. 🙂
      I am in awe of your knowledge and insights on Fim Noir… it’s a subject that I dont know anything. 😀

  3. How do you do it? It’s fab, Shilpa! The way you brings out the suspense in the very last line! I was wondering where blackmail would come in this sweet tale and then Bam! 🙂

  4. Whoa! loved the way you innocently added the dark note to the ode of sweet friendship that actually lies hidden in so many seemingly beautiful relationships.

  5. Dark, Shilpa! I like the casual way you tossed it in right at the end almost without meaning to.Shudder at the thought of a blackmailer being an employer or a colleague.

  6. Ohh, great twist! I’m so glad I came across your blog today. I’ve included your blog in my list A to Z Fictioneers (a list of all the A-to-Zers who are writing fiction for this challenge) 🙂
