Welcome to Friday Fictioneers where each week close to 100 people participate in a flash fiction challenge based on a photo prompt.

And now my 100 word story:
When the police arrived she didn’t have to fake her shock. It had hit her the moment she looked into his eyes. When she had suggested they take a honeymoon selfie together by the cliff the idea had only briefly crossed her mind, just as it had so many other times. She never thought she would actually do it.
But she had. She had surprised herself with how quickly and smoothly she had averted his grasp and turned to face him as he fell backward. From the look in his eyes she knew he was shocked too.
The Day After 
Dear Dawn,
That honeymoon’s certainly over. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Wouldn’t it have been easier just to refuse his proposal? Just wondering.

I don’t think she killed him because she wanted to be rid of him but rather she killed him because she wanted to kill. She had fantasies of killing before.

So at the end it was all about who would push whom… but a honeymoon would save the inheritance.

Well, that takes care of hubby #1. I think you should do a series. Take her through at least half a dozen marriages — and honeymoons, of course. Let’s see how many she can get away with.

Not very well obviously. I think it’s time to try one toe at a time ten is too much for me to remain focused. LOL.

It’s possible there’s another layer to this story beside the seeming evil of the deed. If it was a long engagement, maybe it had been full of nasty things. Well done, Dawn. —- Suzanne
