Oh my. I should smile at these posts when people die, but I can't help it. You have a way of telling this story that's very natural, like it's an everyday occurrence. Thank you for sharing.

My Mother has been told that when I go out of town, (mother, because of "My")

and my Momma gets new stuff (momma)

I demurely sat down and asked for a dirty martini. (down isn't needed, it's understood)

My Mom asked about my latest job. (mom)

    Thanks for the read. I edited. I narrate a life.
    If she was a cake maker it wouldn't pack the same punch. Karen

This is a very creepy story, and I very much was taken by the language that you used and can't imagine someone who could be hired for murder, Especially not a lady. Have a good day and I wish you the best in the contest.

    This was a rather blunt story. I started out writing hard crime. Bloody stuff. I was basically killing off my husbands again and again. It made me happy. Then. I moved up here to be near my sisters. Distance gave me peace. I got happy. My writing became funny and nostalgic. I wanted to see if I still have the chops. I am going back to funny. I appreciate the read. Karen

What a fun read, Karen, for a rainy Sunday morning...You were on your game with this one again... love how you simply slip in toss a little good looks and sex around, and finish the necessary "whack" job.... and then then move on again. Thanks for the smiles!
Hugs, Carol

    I thought that last line, was my finest bit. I do crack myself up sometimes. I appreciate the read and the six stars. They are so shiny. Karen

As soon as I see your name in the new read depository I get excited thinking another red head, which you know I have a thing for. Later, I thought it might be Sophia, but then said no, as I-talians aren't so. As for her sex-less husband,... i.d.k - he had nine kids.
My last comment, did you take a little blue pill before writing this tome for it was longer than usual and had a lot of juice the last two thirds of it. Are there little blue pills for girls? :-O

    Thanks for the read. We don't need pills. All we need is some attention. :-)

    Even if you don't see or feel the attention given, we are giving it 24/7

    Maybe a couple dozen or so times in 12 years is not enough for most anyone. :-)

I think you've written a very good piece of literature, most imaginative, with a job that is a little unusual, and describes these "adventures" as a very matter of fact killings, like it was a reasonable occupation, with many clever ways of "doing them in", beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Thank you kind sir. I surprise myself sometimes. That last line is what I like the best. It cracks me up.

This was a fun little journey through the much missed life of one of your killers, Karen.
I have missed your slaughter side so this was a very welcome read.

    I still have it. I have been writing happy for so long, I wondered. I love the last line. It is so droll. Thanks for the read. Karen

How much easier it sounds for an attractive woman to off bad men. Well done. (the writing, not necessarily the killing) smiley face here

Good luck in the contest.

    My grammar program wanted the dashes. Either is appropriate. Thanks for the read. Good looking men have gotten away with stuff for years, why shouldn't good looking women? Karen :-)

Nicely done Madam! That Gloria deserved a hatchet to the head, but I am not so sure about that Howard.

I do enjoy your murder tales!

Stay frosty, Red!

This is quite a horror story about an innocent looking young girl turned killer on the loose Karen and I have no idea how you are able to think up such atrocities.

Suggestion for this line:
(She had twin girls (who) are 11 years old, (and) she tried to put on the block as virgins . . . )

An entertaining post, love Dolly x x x

    Thanks for the read and edit, I fixed them. My brain is a repository of everything I have read since age three. All the tv shows and movies I have seen. Stories I have heard through the years mix all together in my fevered brain, and voila! Life is interesting. Karen
