Serpent’s Kiss
The seduction of wealth, the venom of betrayal
A drabble is a 100-word, short fictional story. Neither less nor more than that.
Random Drabble Challenge Word — Paper
Furious after a fight, Ben vowed, “No more, Sophia!”
She smirked, “Think again, darling.”
In the office, he and his assistant, John, discussed Sophia and her scheming nature.
Ben stood firm. “I will not give that wench my property.”
Sophia was a witch filled with greed and avarice. She married Ben for his money.
The following day, the headline appeared in the paper.
“Industry Legend Ben Scott Is No More.”
Sophia laughed like an obsessed devil, drinking and celebrating.
She cackled, flames licking photos of Ben. “Goodbye, fool”.
Ben’s untimely death quickly led to Sophia’s arrest as a prominent suspect.
Nancy Oglesby's Random Drabble Challenge and its associated word
“paper” served as inspiration for the story.
