Bittersweet (A 50 Word Short)

in fiftywords •  6 years ago  (edited)

A knife swings from delicate hands.
Her mind drifts while she cuts. A string of hearses passing by.

She’ll take the chance. Another Lemon and a firm hand grasps her from behind.

"Martha." He coos. "Your face...seems all too sweet to me."

It hurts. "It's Bittersweet."

He’s another lemon.

This is my entry for @jayna's #fiftyword challenge. The theme for this week was lemon

This is very powerful in its subtle suggestion of risk, and how life seems to hang in the balance.

A knife swings... a string of hearses passing by.
