Carefully and meticulously, she cut and fused and cauterized 
every nerve, every sinew, every piece of tissue until they resembled the model of perfection she’d envisioned.
She hadn’t even broken a sweat this time, her technique was nearing perfection, she was so close to revealing her work to the world, perhaps one more and she would be ready.
Confident but cautious, she left her secluded studio beneath the cover of night to procure one last specimen.
Hubris and hate had morphed into obsession, she’d spent years practicing and perfecting the skills needed for her craft, finding the perfect canvas was a skill she’d honed with cunning and care.
When she saw him, he was huddled in the alley beneath rain drenched boxes and rotting blankets not far from the very place she’d found her first, it was fate she concluded, he was the one.
It was easy to lure him to the warehouse, the promise of a hot meal and some warm clothes always brought them scurrying after her, she never thought of them as victims . . . this one, he would be her opus.

Oh, I didn’t think you were 😊 I just find it fascinating what sorts of things lurk inside of us, this is only my third attempt at writing any sort of fiction, each time something a little dark or eerie comes out, maybe I should try an actual scary story!

You’re so right, it IS fascinating what lurks inside us writers–I’m often surprised at what falls out on the page, the occasional bit of brilliance that makes me go, “wow, did I write that??” I think writing is the best place–certainly the safest–to let out whatever is dark 🙂 I’d be curious to see what you write if you’re actually going for a scary story–so keep me posted!

I can’t wait to see the movie. Fantastic story. Write more. I’d love to read the backstory of her life. Talk about crafty – you crafted quite a tale.

nice! creepy but very strong imagery the combination is (even played on as small a screen as a six sentence story, I was ‘casting’ the characters with movie actors in my mind as I read).

Thank you . . . not sure why I went in this direction, but . . . I guess it sort of worked! Aside from these two Six Sentence Stories I’ve participated in so far, I’ve never really tried my hand at fiction 👀
