No one would buy the old house. Memories where too raw. Some people swore that they could still hear the dogs screaming. Ted was the keeper of the hunts hounds. When the police visited Teds home, when the hunt master called them from there. They saw that the hunt masters fine head of black hair had turned pure white.

Ted had been nailed to the front door, around him lay the hounds. Each one had been skinned and each was missing their heart… as for Ted: it is better that you don’t know

    1. Sorry Linda, I set out to write something quite different, but this horrific story turned instead. At the time I was working on a set of stories centred on dreams, perhaps Ted was dreaming after eating a real hot curry.

  1. Well, that story’s going to stick in my head for a good while. Graphic and terrible, some sort of revenge being served on Ted and the dogs. Anti-hunting maybe? Me too, but I would opt for a peaceful protest.

          1. Of course we do modify and change a story but to be a really honest story, one has to let the characters and the plot take the lead. At least that’s what i feel…

          2. I’ve never destroyed a story but there are two that I have never published. Altogether too grim. Do we have a choice as to what to write, or how a story evolves? I would say yes – but some stories definitely tug the author along, don’t they?

  2. Sounds like the beginning of a great cold case mystery story! Gruesome, yes, but it begs the question: why? If a ghost (white hair), why butcher thedogs? If mere blood sport, why dye the hair? I think someone, down on their luck, should move in and solve it! Youve got my attention, for sure!
