Unwanted Attention
Jenny desired spotlight so she staged a break-in, the broken glass door as evidence; the neighbours only wondered who the man in Jenny’s house was.
He looked right at home though.
If only the second floor’s window was broken too, everyone would see a corpse skewered to the walls.

Hmm…I’m not sure if this is horrifying enough. I’m still trying to get the hang of 280 characters story – I could barely keep a story to 100 words, much less 280 characters!
If you are interested, the prompt is linked below.
About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a photo prompt. Your mission, if you choose to accept the challenge, is to tell a story in 280 characters or less. When you write your tale, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. This is important as I have noticed that some of the ping backs have not been working. If you would prefer to post your tale in the comments (some people have very specific blog themes but still want to participate), I am happy to post a link to your site when I post your tale in the Round Up.
I’d say the words: skewered corpse, are nasty enough. 🙂

Yikes. I wonder how long it would take for someone to notice Jenny’s absence. Great tale, Tien!
