Swapping

She walks
over two miles
clothes filling
her heavy bag
Easing arm pain
she swaps it
from one hand
to the other

Instead of
her lover
leaning against
escape car
an angry husband
and lying
at his feet
the victim

He waits
holding the knife
Its bloody tip
follows his grip
slowly swapping
the intent
from one hand
to the other


2007 F William Broome

Wow, Bill. What a terrific story. This is an edge of the seat thriller and like a true master, you've left it to your readers to fill in what happens next. Brilliant work, my friend!
Love,
CJ

Bill:

Balancing one man and another. Swapping back and forth - so brief, so full. Gave me an awful chill. Your aftermath actually gives rise to the suspense beforehand left unsaid. Wonderful writing.

hugs,
kathy

Peaked my curiosity with the title...hmmm. Then the bag, what's in the bag? Or was it empty awaiting....the body!!! The plot thickens...what a write! Well done my friend, so much said and yet much unsaid allowing the imagination to run wild...room enough for part II. One of my favorites! Enjoyed!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
