The Almost Murder Of _________

Very nice feel to this, but there is lot of peripheral vagueness re where, what, who. Could it stand a bit of fleshing out? Just enough to put the reader in situ. Feelings alone can be suspect.

 

Thanks for the concise read.

Hello MP,

 

Glad to see you posting.

 

blood flowered out like a red orchid

and tattooed the side of her arm

 

Great opening lines, very powerful, or beautifully morbid.

Excellent use of the word "flowered", at first I thought you meant "flowed" but the "orchid" after it made me believe it is "flowered".

 

in a warmth gateway,

. . . had she not been awake.

 

Not so sure about "warmth gateway", using "warmth" as an adjective.

 

Short and powerful.

I like how this can be read several different ways. The second line can be followed by a pause, or it can be read straight through into the third. I also like your placement of the comma. The result is that a number of different interpretations can be had.
