Day 18

Day 18: Write a story that starts with an orange painted wall

There once was a man with orange walls in his house.

The walls were truly a hideous shade, and he loved to complain about it. Occasionally, a pretty girl with a kind heart would sympathize, and after some conversation would offer to come over and help him paint the walls. Afterwards he’d offer to take them out on a date, and they’d come home to the freshly painted walls and the freshly developed relationship.

Then a while later, police would find the poor girl’s body on the side of a road, with nothing but a streak of orange paint somewhere on her person.

And the man would go back and paint his walls that hideous shade of orange, and find a place to complain and get another pretty girl with a kind heart who would sympathize.
