Friday Fictioneers- The Criminal

This is my first Friday Fictioneers post. I hope I have done everything correctly 🙂

I call it The Criminal, it is 100 words and inspired by the lovely photo by Gah.

A full moon shone on me like a spotlight.

That pointed finger from the heavens was all that tied me to the crime.

Still I obsessively scanned the street below my bedroom window.

Still I jumped at every passing siren.

I wondered if they had found her body yet.

Tucked away so expertly from scrutinizing eyes.

If they caught me I would be thrown in jail.

But I stood there, paralyzed.

Crippled by nerves.

A free man too scared to leave that very spot beside the window.

I hoped that they’d find me soon.

So my prison sentence could end.
