More adventures with your favorite serial killer, Millicent -
It wasn’t the first time she’d killed a friend, but it was the only time she’d felt regret. As Jenny twitched from the poison, Millicent wondered how she’d find a chemistry lab partner so late in the semester.
This is a 33 word super short story for Trifecta Writing weekend exercise: Complete the following story in 33 words:
‘It wasn’t the first time.’

Today’s song is a tribute to Millicent friendly victim Here’s The Killers Jenny Was A Friend.
Is it really bad that I LIKE Millicent?
Nope

This makes me glad I never took chem in college. Yikes! Fun take on the prompt, Lance!
thanks christine
Perfect! Reader left to wonder where the regret lies for Millicent….hmmmm
its why i used her for this exercise. what isnt said works more than what is said
don’t mess with a woman what knows her chemistry.
absolutely
Damn. I love Millicent too. I should clarify… I love reading about Millicent. I don’t want to do shots with her, like I do with Helene

Sicko. Love it.

Who couldn’t like a serial killer named “Millicent” with a mind for chemistry? Really cool:)
thanks…hope you read her orginal short story
Oh this is brilliant! Millicent should have waited until the semester was over I think…

her reasoning is always precise….thanks
and…thus….what makes the Millicent tick
I like how it’s almost a playful piece with the dark side. I was horrified while reading and then found myself laughing at your last line. Great work.
ha….her humor is never intentional. thanks
Goodness, a few little murder stories this week:)
funny thing is, this story is 9 months old. the favorite line of people who’ve read it is “tell me about your first time”.
thanks
Millicent is a fabulous character. I like can feel regret, even if for only a millisecond.
yeah…your Pauley knows actual remorse, not Millicent
I liked the first line very much. And I enjoyed the overall story.
thanks Ruby
Well, she can kiss that A goodbye now.
I like the way you pull the cynicism out of the refrigerator here, sir.
me too. thank for reading. Millicent’s cynicism is fun to write.
Wicked. I can imagine her regret at not finding a partner.
Thanks for continuing to play with us. We’ll see you for the next prompt.
thanks tri
One day I might not be so late. She’s one brilliant but sick girl.

hey eden,,,,i hoped you’d weigh in! thanks
Omfg!!!!! This is so effing twistedly funny!!
thanks libby…i liked yours too.
Oh Millicent, you hurt so bad girlfriend. It’s really the way you write her, it’s impossible to hate her, but wow, I never want to get on the bad side of that woman. (although I might steal her Prada suits and Shoes before I run away !)
in just 38 words, my heart stopped …that’s some good writing my friend.
thanks Kir…Millicent will be resurrected very soon. So glad you liked this.
