A Questionable End - Writer's Choice

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

This story goes back to the beginnings of my writing efforts for MFU.  I actually submitted it to mfuwss which is the MFU Writer's Survival School.  I was in search of constructive criticism and wound up with a three page writing lesson from
st_crispins It became a valuable tool for which I am still, to this day, very appreciative and thankful to have received.
That's the promo for mfuwss ;)
I have no doubt that I could go back and make improvements to this story, but it has its merits.  I hope you'll enjoy it, for the first time or maybe a second.

Opening...

Crisp. It can describe so many things. An apple is crisp, if it's any good, that is. A suit can have a crisp crease in the trousers, and you can utter a crisp reply at a remark that it less than pleasing.

A piece of bacon can be burned to a crisp. So can a human being.

It was the stench of that now making Napoleon Solo sick to his stomach. The smell of burning flesh is unlike anything else in the world; that and the knowledge that beyond the horrific odor lay the remains of what was once a person.

Right now, Napoleon was trying hard to believe that the person was not his partner.
