This is my contribution this week to the challenge Monday’s Finish the Story hosted by Barbara Beacham. Every Monday, Barbara supplies a new picture prompt along with the first sentence to be used for the story. The original story to be written should have only 100 to 150 additional words. I’ve bolded the first senten given with the picture prompt. Be sure to click on the little blue frog in the blue box to read the other stories.

MURDEROUS By P.S. Joshi
“They finally made their escape.”
As I wrote that, I dreamed of fame. Maybe I’d be a famous writer someday. I loved to write thriller stories.
The more people I literarily killed, the better. My favorite threat to someone who made me mad was to tell them one day I’d make them a villain in one of my books and shoot them full of holes.
Mom got hold of one of my stories one day and looked at me as though she’d never really seen me before.
“Laura,” she asked, slightly shocked, “how do you come up with this stuff? When I was fifteen I wanted to be a cheerleader and buy new clothes.”
She shook her head. “I just don’t know how a daughter of mine could be interested in killing.”
Just then the phone rang. She listened, then shouted, “She said ‘that’ about me! I’ll kill her!”
