Title: A Work of Art

He pulled the fishing line and its wrist arched. A bit of glue, a minor adjustment, and it was perfect.

He stood back to admire, to let his eyes roam over his masterpiece. Finally, he’d gotten the form perfect, down to the cast of fear in its eyes.

A quiver of movement dislodged a strand of hair and he cursed under his breath. Bound as the subject was, she couldn’t move when he brought the poisoned rag to her mouth. She died silently, the only sign that she’d gone were some beads of sweat glistening on her forehead.

He wiped them away and rearranged the hair.

“Perfect,” he breathed.

He pulled out his camera. It was finally time for him to preserve his work of art.
