Original fic! -- "Early Retirement"

[vanillafluffy]

All I knew about the house I bought for the cost of its delinquent taxes was what I could see on Google maps. It was a couple miles outside a small Florida town--rural, on a couple quiet acres. The county property assessor’s listing said my new house (built in 1936) was 1168 square feet with two bedrooms and one bath, and it was in my price range

I love this. There's nothing like a nice, tasty little bit of noir! :)

I don't know why I write better from prompts than I do from my own head. Someone told me about a dream they had where they bought s storage locker that had a body in it... I shook the concept up a little, and I'm kind of wondering what happens next.

I've been writing ficlets and posting them at AO3 as well.

Well done! I could visualize the whole thing going down as I read it, in both the present day and the past. I'm curious about what's in the briefcase: cash, multiple passports and cash a la Jason Bourne, or perhaps a cursed object? This one will keep me guessing for a long time to come.

Hi, you! Good to hear from you.

I'm contemplating what may ensue in this tale...those are some interesting ideas. I was thinking of the suitcase in "Pulp Fiction", where we never actually see the contents. Hmm... I have a bunch of WIP, I think I need to make some time for this one.
