Creative Writing / Production Principles

This story was inspired by the character that I came up with the group on the lesson in one of our tasks. Our character was a strange man, tall with peeled faces in his coat. He is a widower killer who is murdering women and then peeling their faces to perfectly match with the features that his wife had.

Writing is definitely the hardest for me and out of my comfort zone.

The beginning of the end 

It was a freezing night. Emily left her mothers massive birthday party, which was as every year at the same Italian restaurant surrounded by the dark forest. She grabbed her crushed pack of Marlboro from her pocket and lighted the last cigarette. With every step she took, street lamps mysteriously revealed the path in the forest. As Emily followed the way, she saw from the far away a tall older man. The man was wearing a black reaching his boots coat from which blood was dripping, forming a puddle around him. Emily started to look panicky around her to find another pathway, but there was no other way. The man was getting closer to her with significant, quick steps. He grabbed her arm and said in a deep hoarse voice:

-You have got gorgeous eyes, darling. 

Emily pulled her arm out firmly of his grip, and something fell off from his coat on the path. It was a peeled woman’s face.
