Carl's blackened body and contorted face was enough to give
anyone the nightmares. The two cops stuck up their handkerchiefs into their
nostrils trying not to throw up.
Walter spoke up first “Look at the blood marks here. The culprit
was wearing gum boots”
Jack, his senior, rolled his eyes “Must have been disposed of
by now”
****
The flames rose as they caught on the rubber, spluttering
sparks that bit Michelle. She felt no pain. Her life of abuse, pain and tears
were over with Carl’s demise.
Michelle let out a soft laugh watching her gum boots melt
away.
