"Ribbon"
Here is my submission for Zapfic Friday!
Gracefully, artfully, he wove the dainty fabric to and fro - almost lovingly. The music carried him to new heights as he created a beautiful tapestry of delicate strands... music that others could only hear as the screams of the victim he used to create the ribbon he now held.
I wanted to create a short story that starts off beautiful and pleasant, then takes a major turn for the worse. I hope the effect lands the way I want it! Thank you for reading, I promise that not all my pieces will be dark and gloomy, I just seem to have a fascination with the macabre lately, apparently!
If you liked this short story, make sure to check out my Hunt: Showdown inspired "choose your own adventure" web-serial novella, "The Hunter's Instinct! We've been having a blast with it over in Scholar and Scribe!
As always, take care of yourselves and each other, and stay thoughtful!
Your friendly neighborhood dork,
