“Bits of Life”
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 words
He thought of his collection as he danced with her, holding her close, smelling the blood. A pink baby bootie to remember the pediatric nurse, Selena, and an etch-a-sketch for Belle, engineering student, were two of the many souvenirs he kept in the large shadow box hanging in his quaint, Victorian kitchen on the West side of town. People commented on his pieces (by people, of course, he meant other such as him) and he was allowed long discourses on favored ones.
The music stopped. She said she wanted to be alone with him. Ah, such a pretty hair pin.

Dear Scott,
You and JK need to stay far away from each other. Very good story and very well written. The last sentence really drives home what your protagonist is doing and how. The why remains out there for all to wonder. Things that go bump in the dark. Bad wiring.
Good job.
Aloha,
Doug

Dear Scott,
You’re a sicko. The last line really hit me with nauseating intensity. Well done. Very well done, in fact.

I have gotten stuck, too, at other times. Usually, I go and do something else for a bit and let my mind work on it.
