The Last Promise

“There is a serial killer around”, she fearfully whispered. Switching off the TV, he held her close.
“Don’t worry darling, I’ll always be there with you” he hugged her tightly. 
“Where could he be?” she wondered in his arms.
His knife glistened in red, little did she know, she would be next.







This post is my first attempt at 55 fiction, written as a part of the Write Tribe prompt.

 55 Fiction,  is a form of microfiction that refers to the works of fiction that are either limited to a maximum of fifty-five words or have a requirement of exactly 55 words. The origin of 55 Fiction can be traced to a short story writing contest organized by New Times, an independent alternative weekly in San Luis Obispo, California, in 1987.The idea was proposed by New Times founder and publisher Steve Moss.
