The Crime Scene by Paul D. Brazill

Over at 6S  today, the writer Jeanette Cheezum suggested that I should write a Six Sentences piece again. Well, this is what I came up with!

The Crime Scene by Paul D. Brazill

Black gaffer tape and a broken Polaroid camera. A suitcase, empty except for the charred remains of one hundred dollar bills. Rusty, brown bloodstains and a worn length of rope. A faded newspaper and a creaking chair. The faint smell of urine and the echos of screams. And the sound of something moving in the shadows.

Hi! Paul D. Brazil...
What a great use of six-sentences...most definitely, "caught" and held my attention!
Thanks, for sharing!

Now that looks like a great outline for a story. Just need to throw a character in the mix.
