Do the Twist Baby

She swayed gently in time with the teen tragedy song playing in the background. Briefly, she wondered why all of those songs about horrific teenage death had such a perky beat. It was a puzzling, but fleeting thought. Nothing that merited Serious Thought. She put it out of her mind and soon she was tapping her foot a little and humming along as her hapless kids approached Dead Man’s Curve.

Her mind wandered on. An image of her boyfriend with his sweet smile and startling eyes floated up for no real reason. A hint of a grin ghosted across her lips as she went on to remember their last passionate night together. He made an appearance in her thoughts more and more these days. She figured this was what it felt like to fall in love.

The song changed but she paid little attention to the lyrics. The beat was strong and fast, just what she liked. She laughed out loud and started swiveling her hips, doing the Twist, giggling as she danced around the limp, bloody body at her feet.

    A bit ominous there, and that is a peppy little song about teenage death. Ficlets missed you too.

    Almost lulled me to sleep until your character danced around the bloody body. Nice hook.

    Nice set up and payoff, leading us down one path and then taking a sudden left turn at the end…

    Oh my… I loved twisted things like this. The last line made me giggle, as well.

    Not expecting the ending but it was amazing. I actually like I was laughing like OrangeOreos to keep from imaging that. Chills. But great job on this. So, so ominous.

    And I hate those kind of songs too.

    Thanks for comments everyone. Extremely irritated at having to create a new account to get into Ficlets (even more that I had to use shudder AOL to do it.) Been trying for days and days to get in here :( Don’t want to start over :( Wish AOL would get someone back in charge here so there’s a contact to fix the broken stuff now Awesome Kevin is gone.
