| This is a photo prompt from 2015 |
Blood was splattered everywhere, gruesome and dark. But, there were no bodies. None.
Detective Jim Fowler and Forensics scoured the house, gathering bits of evidence. But, still there was nothing, no clues at all.
Packing up and walking out the door, Fowler was certain he had missed something. But what?

Something from the patio caught his eye. Turning around, Jim saw the carcass of a bright yellow rooster. Feathers littered the patio, a patch of yellow around the dead fowl.
Detective Jim Fowler shook his head. “He’s back. Rooster Man is back. Damn.”
This was posted in December 2015. This was a photo prompt and had to be under 100 words and I have added some words since then. Made some corrections and changes. Loved writing this.
And the tension mounts.
ReplyDeleteWill Det. Jim Fowler succeed?
DeleteI thought it was Spongebob Squarepants. I really need to get new glasses.
ReplyDeleteYou remember Spongebob?!
Deletemy prompt would have been less dramatic, that is for sure!
ReplyDeleteSherry & jack (one rainy dark night in ?Florida!)
You never know, Jack. There might be a mad car killer.
DeleteAnother mystery. Yay!
ReplyDeleteWe will never know what happens.
DeleteSerial killers are some of the scariest people out there.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Criminal Minds until I was too scared.
DeleteI wouldn't want to be cooped up with Rooster Man!
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteOh No! Not Rooster Man. Lock up your chickens, girls.
ReplyDeleteHe is a vicious killer.
DeleteRooster Man is a cold blooded killer and needs to be apprehended asap.
ReplyDeletethe sooner the better.
DeleteFowler is Rooster Man. You can't fowl me!
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
No, Det. Jim Fowler could be a cousin but he is on the 'catch Rooster Man' side!
DeleteRooster Man.....lock your chickens up tonight.
ReplyDeleteHe is a danger to coops.
DeleteThe only Fowler is Ricky Fowler, the pro golfer. See ya Susan.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
We live in Ricky's hometown, Murrieta CA. We love him.
DeleteThat's wonderful. He's a great guy and I hope he'll win more golf tournaments. See ya.
DeleteCruisin Paul
He clucked his last cluck.
ReplyDelete...until next time.
DeleteYikes, now I am going to have to think good thoughts before going to sleep tonight. That is the stuff of nightmares.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with that prompt.
Defending the Pen put that photo prompt up in 2015, I think.
DeleteSusan:
ReplyDeleteAre they sure it's Rooster "man"?
Could be another species who is running "afowl" of the law with this chickencide...(heh).
Stay safe (and lock your coops) out there.
Ha! That is great.
DeleteRooster Man may want his own KFC
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Why the heck not?
DeleteWasn't Jim Fowler Marlin Perkins' partner?
ReplyDeleteFried fish and chicken? Might be a good combo.
DeleteRooster Man? Quite the moniker...
ReplyDeleteTo go to prison as a serial killer named "Rooster Man" might make life rough.
DeleteWhy did the chicken cross the road?
ReplyDeleteTo get away from the Rooster Man killer.
Excellent.
ReplyDeleteWhat great comments above. I can't think of anything to say other than good job, great story, wonderful comments by your blogger friends.
ReplyDeleteI love your posts! Your last one showed snow up in the high desert--We always were surprised when that happened.
Deletereally interesting dear Susan !
ReplyDeletelast night watched movie "Hush" and now this rooster man frightened me
Heh heh. I refuse to watch scary movies anymore.
DeleteI enjoyed your post/story and enjoyed reading through everyone's comments too :)
