An Enigma ~ Unresolved

Inspired by Barleygirl's 'Eyesore Next Door'. Just an attempt at writing something macabre. Experimental, of course :P

It was easy. 

Just like that, her interest shifted. Her attention wavered.

 

Her gaze, which had been boring down upon her victim a moment before, now probed the next one in line who was fool enough to be mesmerized by her falsely blinding light. 

An enigma. That's what they called her. And every time, hearing that, she reached that same euphoric height, perhaps even more than before, which left her feeling breathless. Everything and everyone else was just collateral damage. Tossed aside casually. She barely spared them a thought, or a glance, for that matter. Seeing as how intoxicated she became while going through them, sometimes, it dimly registered in her senses how her craving for another never ceased.

Her ever-searching, thirsty eyes always played the whole scenario, savouring in her victory while her mind..her mind sang the same phrase over and over...

"what's next?"

I feel honored to be the one to spark your newly-budding interest in the macabre! I love that you do this (so far, at least) in a minimally gory way. There are other ways to pique the gore & you specialize in stimulating the reader's mind to emit some gory guesses as to what's going on in your subtle escapade . . . very much anticipating the next installment . . . *smile* Fondly, Margie

:D I thought it was time to finally try this style and you are def an inspiration for me.
I'm not sure how I'll proceed with this one, but I will continue experimenting ;)
Thank you so much for appreciating this one, BG. :))

The words tempting, alive and worthwhile. I liked the internal thoughts. You made me believe every words. Thank you my friend for sharing the excellent chapter.

Thank you too for appreciating :))

A wonderful tale my friend and you are welcome.

You've generated a gripping, almost macabre plot, leaving the reader on a cliffhanger. You've created the character of the siren with panache, never giving away too much, just enough to have the reader hooked- much like the way the protagonist herself operates I suppose.

Looking forward to the future continuations.

Best,
M.

Ah, I'm glad I have you hooked here, Mallika. I have a feeling you might recognize this protagonist ;) lol
Thank you so much for your thoughts here and for liking :))

[Ardra]

Sounds like a sexy siren....who has no mercy for her prey....a cold vampire perhaps....
Very nicely done Yumna.. waiting to read the next part... :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Not a vampire really, just a ruthless human, more like lol
thanks so much for reading and appreciating, Ardra. Glad you like it :)

Hello Dr Y. I always think it's brave of people to leave their comfort zone and try something completely different. Inspired by our Margie, you have done just that. What a contrast from the limericks I have been reading of yours. My imagination really took off reading your lines, I was left thinking, what has she done to the victim? Has she become a vampire, has she butchered. Whatever she was capable of, she cared not a jot for the damage she was inflicting, instead getting excitement and satisfaction from her wickedness. You have managed to get your reader's interest straight into the plot in a short number of paragraphs. Well done you

Chris

I'm not sure if I truly have established what my comfort zone is but I like experimenting whatever piques my interest. Macabre is certainly challenging for me.
As for the main lead here, it's inspired by someone I've personally known for some time lol
Thank you so much for your detailed review here, Chris. Much appreciated.

[Chris Shaw]

She couldn't possibly be wicked then (lol)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

The thing with human psyche is that a person can be wicked to someone and entirely opposite to someone else, so what does that truly make them? I get intrigued by that idea. Are we defined by how we treat others or do we have a natural and just one way of being the way we are?...

[LazerRays]

Ah- what a nice poem Yumna! :)
very detailed, and nicely worded. Great job!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for reading and appreciating, Sarah. Glad you like it x

[LazerRays]

A queen ...if I've ever seen one! winds of kisses blow~~~~

[Dr. YumnaKay]

A queen, or perhaps something more savage ;)
Thanks so much for reading and your words here, Queenie. Appreciated.
