Micro/ Flash Fiction Theme:
Pomeranian Spinsters
Trevor the gator detective’s scaly tail thumped on the floor as he smoked his pipe.
“That murder case ’bout old rabbit Alba— it’s turnin’ into a whole damn jambalaya!” There had to be something he was missing.
Then it occurred to him that jealousy wasn’t the only reason to murder a woman about to get married.
“Lawd, I forgot all ‘bout them Spinsters Society women.”
Trevor stood and froze as he noticed the society’s president, Mixie the pomeranian, standing in the door.
“I brought you some cookies.” Mixie smiles.
Trevor remembered Old Alba’s autopsy report. Cause of death— poison asphyxiation.
