Flowers: A Short Story of Love and Death

By Darnell "Saki" Dickerson

George and Chloe are High School sweethearts nearing the end of their senior year with a serious problem. The adorable, inseparable couple that everyone sees smiling and holding hands is a façade. Behind George’s doting ways and charming smile lies a jealousy and paranoia so deep it drives him into a blind rage that is best kept under wraps. When Chloe announces she is moving to California for college George unravels and there is no stopping the rampaging, possessive beast that lives within causing him to do terrible, terrible things. Will George be able to take control of this inner monster before it destroys everything good in his life or will he be a slave to it just as his father was?

A chilling story that explores the depravity of a human mind. Frightening, thrilling and bloody. One Amazon Reviewer writes: " It is a twisted and dark story about love - and how quickly love can turn from passion into obsession. I honestly loved "Flowers" because of the way Dickerson is able to blend backstory and mental/emotional insight into a fluidly moving, almost effortless scene."

This is a story of young love and fear, affection and abuse, sunflowers and suspicion, innocence and blood.

- "Flowers" is a digital Saki Short Story that can be enjoyed easily in one sitting, during a long bus ride, road trip, extended evacuation of the bowels, just about anywhere.

*Disturbing subject matter. Not overly graphic but weak stomachs be advised!
