Something terrible happened that night, the night Rita Mae
came screaming out her front door covered in blood.
Bud had bled out right there in the hall. We all thought
Rita Mae had done it.
She kept babbling about her great granddaddy and some curse.
She never was the same after that night and they never found the killer.
Some nights I sit here and watch lights moving around her
house.
She never remarried, said her great granddaddy wouldn't like
it. She's a mite touched in the head, now. Funny thing, though. The knife that
killed her man? Great Granddaddy's.

Dear Margo,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Friday Fictioneers.
I take it Great Granddaddy is no longer among the living as we know them. Sounds like an open and shut case of possession. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you for the opportunity. It was fun.
DeleteA paranormal mystery, or is Rita Mae clinically insane? Who really was the killer? She wasn't tried for it, it seems. Why? We may never know (unless you write some more). :)
ReplyDeleteRita Mae might show up again on some dark and stormy night. Oooh!
DeleteI love the neighborhood legend feel of this! The first sentence is an attention-grabber.
ReplyDeleteI can picture someone sitting in a rocking chair on the porch and watching the whole scene unfold.
DeleteWelcome to Friday Fictioneers. Great way to start the story. Looking forward to some more tales of the paranormal.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's fun to see the different genres as I check through the stories.
DeleteHuge villas with grand porches are a perfect setting for paranormal activity.
ReplyDelete.............lights moving around her house . this is scary.
Doesn't matter how sweet a photo is, I always find a scary vibe.
