My entry today must include these six words: Misty, Mambo, Moon, Musky, Mongrel, Myth. I hope you enjoy it. And don't forget to hop over to the other entries. You'll find them at Wendy's blog.
The Saw
Ever since the saw moved into our neighborhood things started to go wrong. One by one things started disappearing. At first it was just little things, like my keys and my clothes that hung on the line to dry. At first I thought that I was just being paranoid, but then my dog Misty went missing as well. Tonight I have had enough. It was time to confront the saw once and for all.
The sound of the saw got louder as I approached the darkened house, and then just like that it stopped. My heart skipped a beat and I could feel the cold sweat inching down my spine. I knew there was no turning back now. Slowly I approached the door and as I lifted my hand to knock the door swung open.
Bryan stood there, with a big grin on his face and his clothes covered in sawdust. The musty smell of his manhood hung in the air.
"Well it took you long enough," he said.
I just stood there staring at him in disbelief. So he was the saw, the reason for my sleepless nights. Misty ran up to me and almost knocked me over. She seemed pleased at her part in this elaborate scheme.
"You can believe in myths and fairytales all you like Bryan, but we are never getting back together again!" I turned and left him standing there like the fool he was.
"Come on Misty, come on you mongrel. Time to go home." As we reached the sidewalk I could hear Bryan almost in a whisper say, "But I was doing it all for you Kathy."
Somethings never change.

My favorite part: musky man scent! Hee Hee.
I love this little tale and the twist at the end. I could hear that dang saw and empathize since we had a remodel done in our neighborhood last summer that drove me nuts.
I wonder what Minnie might have to say to him? A saw running night after night was a great premise for the story!
What an interesting challenge! You did a great job!
So creepy, right out of a horror book and then such a great twist at the end. Well done. Thanks for the music link.

Stopping by on the A to Z Challenge road trip.

Clever twist ending! Very fun read.
Hey woman! Nice story line. Now you have to write it out and finish it. I could almost hear the jaws music going in the background!
Nice build up and a wonderful twist ending.... BTW. I love Mambo#5.
Excellent and incisive account. Normally I do the photo first and then get the title. So I admit that each person can put his personal capacity, in most cases more accurate than mine. Greetings.
love the twist :)
Great job on keeping me reading and wanting to know what the "saw" was. Good use of the words.
This was great! I loved the reference to Mambo No. 5. Good stuff. Thanks for joining.
Awesome! Gave me chills.
Excellent!
Have a great weekend :-)
I'm thinking at the end....awww, give the poor guy a break. I like the way you used the assigned words.
Awesome story! Funny, I have a dog named Misty (I swear! I do!) And my name is Cathy, y'know, without the K... you must have been reading my mail! (You didn't pay my Visa bill while you were at it, did you?)
I loved the creativity and your use of the assigned words in the story.
I enjoyed your story, and glad she got Misty back at the end. :) Thanks for visiting my blog and following.
Nice story. I also liked the way you used different words. Well done :)
