Ricochet

A small white house outside of town with a garage on the side holds two small bedrooms. The celling of the bedroom is slanted at an angle with off white walls, with what appears to be a blood stain on one side. There is one small bathroom in the entire house and a small living room. The two small storage rooms in the house have doors that are just as small. The kitchen is full of the basics, a white counter, small sink and white fridge, along with the other necessary appliances.

The stain on the wall looks suspiciously like blood. What’s the history of this house and its past tenants? Was there a bloody fistfight? Did someone get shot in this house? Has anyone died here? The house is small with one bathroom, if someone was living here with too many roommates and constantly had to share such small space tempers may run high. Maybe two roommates got into a fight one day and took it too far, staining the walls with blood. Maybe if you go dig in the backyard enough you will eventually find a body berried there, rotten and decayed, the bones poking through the flesh. Or maybe someone just accidently tripped and spilled their tomato soup all over the wall.

  1. I think all that speculation in graf 2 is warranted and offers the reader a way into the description. And I know it was fun to write!
