Photo Prompt (c) C.E. Ayr Friday Fictioneers Photo Prompt
Sam put the car in park with an irritated thrust. “Dammit Camille.” He took the front steps two at a time, stopping abruptly. The door stood ajar. “Camille?” He said, easing it open. She obsessed over locked doors. Silence. Fear slithered down his back.
He moved through the house, calling her name, looking in closets and under beds. Panic rose in his throat like sour food as he ran down the drive. “Camille?”
Then, he saw it and dropped to his knees. Her shoe. It lay on the street drain like a discarded, terrifying clue, written in red.

COW PASTURE CHRONICLES 
Nicely done! I am not too sure that ‘the husband’ is that great of a guy… but possibly better than the one who has done the ‘kidnapping’?

Where is that darned Camille? Somehow, I don’t think she went ballroom dancing.
Great tension here, Sheila.

How terrifying to find the shoe of your loved on on the street! Well told. It was quite gripping and the “written in red” at the end was effective. Am I to understand there is blood?

Thanks Amy for commenting. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and yes, the edge of red implies blood. I sometimes prefer not to spell everything out, but to give the reader a little room to exercise their own imagination.
