I shop, like anyone else. And it always amazes me the way the market doubles as a rendezvous for lonely souls and frustrated marrieds. I never had the inventiveness or initiative or the hope of engaging in the hunt.
Until today.
At the produce section she sidled up sensually, unabashed born, as it seemed, to only me on intoxicatingly subtle waves of jasmine and musk. As I reached for a cantaloupe to test it’s ripeness, and my own nonchalance, I felt her too close. Begulingly close. Unnaturally close but oh so welcome.
“I came her for you”, she whispered and ran her ring finger ever so lightly across the back of my hand.
“Why?” I stammered, annoyed at my lack of an eloquent reply
“Because you are the one. If we continue this mundane act of shopping we will be in danger of losing the moment. I want you and I can feel that you want me.”
I do, you’re right. What now?” I asked.
“You drive us to your home and we let nature take it’s course.”
We left our half fulfilled patronage like so much inconsequential baggage and almost ran to the exit. We joined hands like old lovers as we approached my car.
Then I clubbed her and threw her into the trunk.
Soul Shoplifting
Danger haunts even the marketplace.

Surely he could have waited till he drove her home??? Nice twist, though!

I figured from the title it was a twisted take on Soul Shopping, and I should have figured out what it meant, more or less – but I never saw it coming. And it is interesting how you leave the reader to wonder: did he kill her? Did he just stun her, and will she spend seven years chained in his basement as a sex slave?

Really enjoyable and brutally to the point!

I’ll bet she thought she was the one with all the power, huh….and probably shocked to find he was more dangerous than she was =) oh well she had all that spare time in the trunk to think about it!!!

clubbed her with the cantaloupe for extra flavour?

Nope. Blackjack…spirited secretly away in my back pocket; my cardigan pulled discreetly over the protruding grip. My ever-present little darlin’. Heh heh!

awww, you hurried through the last part and didn’t make any effort to be seductive and provocative and. . . :0) I think taking the time to flesh out that kind of stuff would have made your story a more satisfying read . It was great. It just could have been a whole lot better with some serious details. I really liked how you just chopped it at the end. It was a huge surprise and as gross as the theme is, the shock was delicious. Thanks for a fun read. :0)

I’m glad to see there are others out there with as twisted a sense of humor as mine. It’s comforting to be part of a whacked-out fellowship. Thanx.
