NOIR
She was a beauty
tall and blonde
with curves in
all the right places
she claimed to
have loved him
couldn’t live
without him
but now was
forced to
she hired me to
find his killer
the trail had
gone cold
the police had
given up
could I do what
they couldn’t
I gave it my best
just to stay in
her presence
shock of shock
I became the top
suspect
had she set me up
I couldn’t
believe she would
those lips, that
kiss
her tears, those
eyes
I’m no fool
but the bars of
my cage say differently.

Smiling. And awed.
Sounds like she's the on who murdered him.
She framed him!
Love the surprise ending; a cunning black widow! ☺ And what a gorgeous sunset photo. ♥
I've always told my boys to never trust women. LOL. Just kidding. I actually told them not to trust SOME women. The kind like this one.
Thanks, everyone. Sue, Alex, Diane, Debbie and Elizabeth!
I warned my boys too. :)
I hope this becomes my next novel. It'll sure be fun to write. And with a title like Pink City, it's got to be a winner! Right? LOL
Keep writing everyone, Happy New Year!
Hi Renee - I can see it'd been/be fun to write ... loved the story line - and yes why not - title Pink City ... I'd be tempted to read ...
Enjoy your writing ... I must get to WEP Anthology ... I'm coming out of my year's funk I hope ... cheers and see you around - and yes - Happy New Year and on ... Hilary xo
Thanks, Hilary! I do understand the year-end funk. I hope you've found the New Your holds exciting opportunities and that funk has flown the coup! Sending positive vibes, and numerous hugs to help you cope!
