Flash Fiction Friday - Karma #FFF

It's Friday and that means it's time to flash. Now the picture this week just didn't speak to me, so I posted the following on Facebook.

"Words, I need words."

My friend Cerys responded with these words...

"Kumquat. Headboard. Ravished. Chandelier. Toxic. Costume. Hidden. Delights. Scantily. Sparkling."


She then promptly dared me to use them. Now, I can never resist a dare, so here you are - Enjoy!





She took a bite of the Kumquat, and he smiled grimly. The toxic hidden in the sweet delights of the fruit would strip her of the costume she wore, like he had been stripped off his illusions, when he’d seen her scantily clad body tied to the headboard of his bed. Illuminated by the chandelier he’d had the perfect view of her being ravished by his best friend.
Her once sparkling eyes dimmed, and he caught her as she fell. The waterfall was the perfect place to hide the body.
