55 Fiction

The tension was building up in him.

He needed a release, so he did what he liked doing under such circumstances.

Once finished, he stepped back to admire his bloody handiwork.

Excited, he walked out but turned around for one final look.

How could he forget that?

An incomplete knife set would drive him mad.

    1. Yes, he certainly has OCD, LIKE US. LOL šŸ˜€
      But you will be shocked at how he would have used his knife šŸ˜‰

    1. OCD is the only thing that you (and I) might have common with him. šŸ˜€
      Glad you liked this 55 fiction, Nabanita!

  1. My first reaction was – gory – but then I thought you surely didn’t mean that or did you or … so many ways to look at this.

    1. Hahaha! Yes, I meant exactly that!! šŸ˜€ šŸ˜›
      Yes, I am loving the way everyone has interpreted this story! Good to see you back, Suzy! How have you been!

  2. This fiction sets the mind to wander… in the direction one chooses to! Is he a serial killer or is he a chef… wow what an intriguing twist! I was glued till end.

  3. Wow! That’s macabre and I really wonder what will happen next. Hope you make this as a series all through October #writebravely

    1. Thanks Neha. Glad you enjoyed reading this story in 55 words.
      series…Now you have given me an idea… let me think about it! Thanks šŸ™‚

  4. First I thought, nooo, this is a trick, and the guy is only cutting a piece of meat or something. And then I realized he was leaving and didn’t want to leave his knife behind. Ohhhhhhh . . .

    1. He is a perfectionist but he is something else too.
      Glad to have your company for this season on WT Problogger Challenge, Vasantha!

  5. Interesting to see the latter in your fiction too Shilpa. If Iā€™m not mistaken you seem to be fascinated by the macabre. Loved this story though. Got me thinking

    1. I like your observations, Sunita.
      I like the shock value, actually šŸ˜€
      Thanks, glad you liked this attempt!

  6. The foodie wants to believe that it’s a chef, and he’s just chopped up some meat šŸ˜› The crime thriller lover tends to think it’s a serial killer who may have just forgotten the knife in his victim and gone back to retrieve it. šŸ˜‰ Either way, you weave a brilliant tale!

  7. I liked the beginning of your story, would like to see some twist if more can be written on this. I liked the comments written by all too.
