A bunch of us came out. Heck, practically the whole town. We didn’t have no particular business there. Just something to do. Sheriff’s men were there, along with some state troopers. They had got the whole marsh cordoned off with that crime scene tape you see on TV. By the time we got there, they had already found the first body, the younger one. I didn’t get to see before they got her wrapped up and into the ambulance, but I saw the second one all right. Tell you the truth, it didn’t really look like a body at all.
Grizzly and gripping
Not something he’s likely to forget in a hurry, the sight of that body. Well done.
Nicely written, and very true to life in this day and age.
Disaster/crime tourists or just nosy neighbours–where’s the difference? This is intriguing.
