Its Wednesday already, time for this week’s Friday Fictioneers. A 100 word photo prompt (no murders if over) hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. Just follow the link and have a gander at the brilliant interpretations and have a go yourself.

Silvia struggled lifting the three Louis Vuittons and the matching weekender. Then cursed as each dropped with a thud onto the empty pebbled shoal.
“Too many T-Bones that man ate, I told him it would be the death of him”
A sadistic chuckle penetrated the silence as she emptied each case into the sprawling Atlantic.
“No body, no proof” she whispered.
Then thought how using his favourite steak knife to cut up his body had been just genius.
Unfortunately, as she calmly turned and walked back to the car, Sylvia missed the two birds that had swooped into the wash plucking an engraved wedding band from a recently severed finger.

So many murders already!!!
shivers! the line about the T-Bones was brilliant. 🙂
Thank you, it was a hard one this week I thought 🙂
Now this is what I call a story with a real bite to it. Loved it! 😀
Thanks Linda 🙂
Oops on the ring!
Foiled!
Maybe?
Maybe not….;)
No such thing as a perfect murder 😉
Yay!
I like it. A bit dark with a dose of humor a lot like some of my posts.

Cheers, Dark is good, lol 🙂
Jebus. Lot of dead men on this beach. Was it something we said 🙂
Maybe it’s a seasonal thing, lol
I’m wondering how she’s going to clean the suitcases!

a thriller in the offing… 🙂
Yikers! If it wasn’t for those darn gulls she’d have gotten away with it. Seagulls. Always causing trouble. Love the irony in this one.
Who’d have thought a bird picture would spawn so many murders! Must be something in the air.
Dear Helen,
“The secret’s in the sauce.” This is bound to come back to haunt me when I eat my next steak. Nice one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I may add to the flavour 😉
Dear Helen,
I echo Sandra’s sentiments. Great story. Remind me never to anger you. Loved the “Too many T-Bones…” line. Well done. (No pun intended.)
Aloha,
Doug
Intended or not I chuckled, thanks 🙂
You wicked woman! 🙂 looks like Silvia has a bone or two to pick after all. Shame about the Louis though, all that blood!
Ah we went the same way on this… wonder why these gulls attract so many murders..
Great stuff as always, Helen!
A chilling way to get rid of him, especially cramming him into the luggage. Having such nice luggage made me wonder if they were rich and she finally wanted to spend it as she wanted. Or maybe she was sick of him shoveling down steaks. Whatever the reason, she was calculated in how to dispose of the body — good story.
Interesting. Could those birds be the key to solving this murder?
Helen, holy cow! The headline reads: Marine Biologist Catches Murderer By Rare Coincidence.Terrifically gruesome.
A steak knife? Now that’s some serious hate and even more serious dedication!
Maybe those pesky birds will want a tasty cut of their own?
That wedding ring is a bit of a giveaway. Hopefully they have the sense to drop it in the water and not in a public park. 🙂
Oops! Oh, hide the evidence! Maybe it will float out to sea? Great chilling, dark tale, Helen.
I’m not sure what kind of luggage was used, but this really happened. Though I doubt she used a steak knife…
