Persistence Of Vision
She opens the fish,
finds her daughter’s fingers inside;
every fish the same explosion.

this gave me shivers…………
A short but efficient piece that delivers an unexpected punch!
A horror picture bar none.
Those fingers are flowers
The fish indeterminate
What’s for dinner?
Chilling! 😮
A most unwelcome surprise, the contents of the fish. Startling, but well done. And, yes, it’s apt for our times, and all times.
Ah you do “short” so well! I enjoyed this unexpected piece!
Wow! That blew me to pieces! shocking and riveting.
Startling. This one has to read again.
Thanks for dropping by my sumie Sunday Ron
Much💖love
Yeeowww!!!
Aah that was an unexpected twist!
Shiveringly horific, Ron, and so good!
