Today she chose a different path which led her
deeper into the woods than she had ever traveled before. She quickened her pace suddenly nervous,
unsure of her destination. Suddenly Anna
tripped and went sprawling over a partially concealed arm. She screamed when she saw the decomposed
body. Her friend Heather had finally been
found!

ReplyDeleteTayla, It would be quite the horrific discovery. When I wrote this I was focused on the idea of a mystery solved and completely overlooked what a horrific twist the story too. Thank you for stopping in and for your comments! ♥

DeleteI am going to reconsider walking in the woods again..phew..I wouldve collapsed dead too, Kathy!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, there are those things to think about in a strange woods. Where I live, that is invariably where a body will be found. Either that or floating in the river. It happens. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteEwwww, that would be an experience to haunt you forever!
ReplyDeleteTrisha, I think it would! I don't know how police and forensics people handle the blood, guts, and gore they come in contact with. I would be physically sick and unable to sleep nights. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your kind comments!
DeleteOooo. Creepy. You must be multi-talented since I see that you write horror, too.

Joyce, not sure how multi-talented I am. I tried to write mystery and ended up horror but I really appreciate your kind words. This was my first attempt ever and it makes me feel really good to know you liked it and it creeps you out. Mission accomplished! Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments.
DeleteHer footsteps were being drawn towards the scene where a mystery was waiting to be disclosed...mysterious attraction maybe...very effective and captivating
