And here comes the ugly

And here comes the ugly

Written by:

The gunslinger added a couple of bullets into the barrel of her gun and cocked it.

It clicked satisfyingly. She heard noises outside. A chain rattled nearby. All her senses were on high alert.

She had been combat ready for a while. His smile had been taunting her for a while. It was like he kept expecting her to do something.

Her negligee reeked of his sweat. She refused to wash it. It reminded her of why the deed had to be done.

She stood in the middle of the four poster bed and stared into his scared eyes. She had never seen him in this state before.

The gun, felt even more solid now. It felt like an old lover – tingling with the anticipation yet knowing nothing was ever going to happen. But she would make it happen. It was time.

The gun roared. Red pillow feathers swirled around her. Their touch was light, almost comforting in their nothingness.


I write. I take photographs. Sometimes I do both. Love travelling and meeting new people. Makes life more exciting.

    Loved the line “The gun, felt even more solid now. It felt like an old lover – tingling with the anticipation yet knowing nothing was ever going to happen” I might steal it for my novel, if I ever manage to write one! :P

    While I was reading this I kept humming “He had it coming…” – love that song.

    You are a life saver! Thanks for throwing those lovely pics this way for the prompts. Don’t know what would I do without you. :)

    Some bad writing! You know, I liked it!
    I also liked the repetition of ‘ for a while’. Its putting off, then you realise that its meant to be that way :) Well keep up the bad!

    @ Micky – Thanks so much man. Yes the line came suddenly – wasn’t even going to be part of it but thought what the heck :)
    @ Aditi – I didn’t even realise it until you pointed it out at me :)
