Mary lay motionless on her bed, her crimson locks spread like a macabre halo around her head. Clad in nothing but lingerie, her body was a stark contrast to the innocence of the novels she adored. The only company she had in her final moments was the book she was reading, its pages forever frozen in time, a silent witness to her demise. A pair of delicate glasses were placed meticulously atop the open book, evidently belonging to the victim, as if mocking Mary's passion for literature. Each lens reflected the cold, unforgiving truth of her fate.
@SwiftieShutterbug that is game of your, but, it would be more like a shoot, you can never get the "right" image in one exposure. I was asked to pose once, it never turned out. Another time i was going to pose and COVID closed the studio.
Are you really a shutter if or just for your stories?
@SwiftieShutterbug I have gone back, erratically. You used the name shutterbug, would you call yourself that? I have many images in albums. They are carefully labeled.
This model should not feel so forlorn or possess any macabre thoughts, as her fave freshly-minted billionairess/person of the year/heroic songstress will soon appear on the horizon in a certain megalopolis which recently opened a smallish museum containing portions of their Roman Wall 😉
@SwiftieShutterbug The book and glasses were placed there post mortem. No one reads in lingerie. The killer placed them there for a reason yet unknow to us.
That paints such a mysterious picture. If wearing lingerie she probably had expected company. It's not often casual wear. But if the book was the only company there, the killer did not count. So either the killer was not the expected company or there was no killer. But if there was no killer, then why place the glasses in mockery?
Perhaps the killer was herself and she decided to look beautiful as she left the world. Or perhaps a jealous rival pushed too far? Or maybe just a murderous stranger happening upon a chance to sate their wicked addiction? But the last seems unlikely to be personal enough to place the glasses.
