“He’s a hard worker. Doesn’t bother the others. He likes the night shift.”
“Oh, he’s a good boy. Always interested in how things work.”
They won’t know what hit them. Five, four, three…
Plays Well With Words
Now I want to know more! Wonderful!
Thank you! It is a fun prompt.
I didn’t expect that ending. Intriguing.
Thank you Tara.
Oh, the danger of not knowing what’s at the core…
I think everyone has a little fire down deep, but hopefully there aren’t too many with cores this dangerous.
Sneaky fellow-a schemer at the core,with no hint of it on the crust!Fabulous!loved it:-)
Thanks. It seems to be that way with many dangerous people, like Bundy and Gacy.
True but who r Bundy & Gacy?
nice, normal serial killers 😉
Omg!Ha!ha!
I’ve heard that “he’s a good boy” thing before. Watch out! Nice response.
Yep. Bad boys are much better. 😉
Mmmmmmm…. crust… the best part of the pie… but the worst part of an eye infection…
gross…
I just took a word and ran with it. It could have been worse.
ooooooooh – dark and mysterious! Love
Thanks Barbara
Thought provoking mystery.

Thanks! Those are the best kind of mysteries.
Ooooo dear… (:
Maybe he’s just planning a surprise party though. 😉
I don’t like where this is going…Nice piece.
Thanks!
Very explosive take on the prompt.
Thank you Linda
Scratching the surface of his inner self. I like that you were very subtle with the prompt. Well done!
Thanks. I like subtlety, as long as it’s coming from me. I don’t catch on when it comes from someone else.
It’s like “going postal” only different. Loved this and congrats for 3rd place. Didn’t make it around this weekend.
Thanks! I didn’t make it to most of the others either. My kids are about to go back to school, so I’ve been trying to get that stuff ready.
Congrats on the trifecta placement! I like it. “He seemed like such a nice guy.” Something you always hear about serial killers. Even if he was planning a pleasant surprise – this is well done – it leaves us wondering!
Thank you! It seems most of the really bad ones seem like okay people, until you get inside their heads.
BAM!! Congrats on the mention!
Thank you!
