crimson by summerfield

crimson

..."I heard broken glass cutting into flesh. There was blood on the floor.The pieces of broken glass unkindly cut at her knees, her legs and her hands. She wailed as she looked at her hands, blood running like thin crimson rivers down her arms.

"Who is this person, Jeanna?" She reached for the photograph, palm right smack on the man's face, now all bloodied. "Goddamnit, I demand to know who this is!"

"No one," she yelled. "No one!"

"But you're crying because of him. Why?" I thought of the "boyfriend from another lifetime who had died"; at least that's what she had always told me. What was his name? Erick? Jandrick?

She held the blood-stained photograph to her chest. On the floor, broken pieces of glass scattered like diamonds and rubies."

no, i didn't kill anyone to get this. this is food colouring - five drops of red and a snippet of blue and you get crimson. still looks red to me.

and yes, the story is pure fiction.
Makes me think of Dexter
