Crush

Homicide detective Deke Racine has found another nest, this time with four bodies, brutally murdered like all the rest. He's been chasing the killer for nearly a decade, but is still no closer to catching him than on day one. Eighteen have died. Racine is angry, frustrated...and closer than he thinks.

Flash fiction stories generally run from between 100 and 1,000 words, with the lower word counts representing a challenge to the writer to craft a story with a beginning, middle, and end, along with characters, plot, maybe a hook or twist, and a resolution. So, not only is this a short story, it's a very short story. I hope you like it.
