FF – A Pie They Died For
Here is my happy jolly Christmas offering for Friday Fictioneers, the weekly 100 word photo prompt hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Roger Bultot.

“Hey, look, I love UV black light, let’s go in.”
“Yeah, it’s such a great colour!”
“And it shows up all sorts of stains and blood and Oh. My. God. What the Hell happened here? Waitress?”
“Good evening! Coffee? Pie?”
“What happened, Miss?”
“Ooh, a big grisly murder. A whole bus-load of tourists. And they never found the bodies!”
“Never found the bodies?”
“No. Not a single one!”
“Wow. Weird. I wonder what happened to them? Anyway, I guess we’ll have a couple of coffees. And a slice of pie with two forks, please. ‘Mystery meat pie’. Sounds tasty!”
All the best to you and yours!

Yummy mystery pie. This story’s even grosser than last week’s!
Holidays are going okay – most presents are wrapped, though with people drifting off work for Christmas my workload is getting ever higher…
Hope yours are going well!

Gee, I wonder what happened to those bodies…. But you didn’t say what kind of pie. I ask because real mincemeat pie is hard to come by these days.. it’s tempting. 😉 (Cue “it tastes like horse” joke.)

Yeah, it’s a real mystery about those disappearing bodies. The pie sure was good, though!

Mystery meat? Oh my!
I’m finishing the first rewrite of the first draft. I’ll pass it on to a friend to read. While he’s reading, I plan to tackle our zombie story. Do you have anything more that I have not yet seen?
Have a great Christmas. Blessings to you,

I’m still half way through that chapter. I think I’ll just write in one plan for now rather than having a failed plan, otherwise I’ll be stuck forever! Then we can sort it out later.
Have a lovely Christmas 🙂

Sounds go to me. Sometimes that’s the best way. There’s something there, but it can stay hidden until we start writing and “wow,” there it is.
Looking forward to what you have.
