My thanks to Fandango for this weeks story starter teaser!

Fandango’s Story Starter #200 – Facts, Fictions & Fantasies

When the detective pulled back the sheet, he knew immediately that the case wasn’t over. The victim’s lifeless eyes mirrored the fear he’d seen before—same pattern, same calling card: a crimson lily on the chest. Rain tapped against the alley’s brick walls as he lit a cigarette, the sulfur sting mixing with city rot. “Third one this month,” his partner muttered. He nodded grimly. But this one—this one was different. The victim wore a wedding ring with the detective’s initials engraved inside. His breath caught. This wasn’t just murder. It was personal. And the killer was sending a message.

    The vindictive message indicated someone wanted to get revenge on him.
