Concrete Love
“Please, please don’t do this. Max, please. Oh my God, please!”
Max stepped over her luggage and dumped the last bucket of water into the pit. “All done, my love.”
“Max, please.” Tears fell from Paula’s eyes as she struggled to move in the thickening mixture.
“Don’t worry,” he said, slipping into the liquid, “We’ll never fight again. We’ll always be together.”
Paula screamed until her throat burned. He pulled her body close to his and whispered in her ear, “In a thousand years, we’ll still be together.”
He hugged her tight and together they slid beneath the surface.

99 words based on the very cool image prompt from this week’s Friday Fictioneers.
great take on the prompt. I like this idea.
Thanks!
That is really dark, and I like how your theme reflects the melded faces of the sculpture.
By the way-what a horrible way to die! I’ve gotten concrete on me before, and it burns.
Definitely a terrible way to go. Thanks for the comment
Wow, that’s some love! Concrete love, as you put it.
Scary! Thank God it’s just a story.
Or is it?
It is!
Very good. I really enjoyed this. Poor Paula!
Thank you!
Poor Paula. What a terrible way to die. Concrete and twisted love combined
Great take on the prompt

One of the more twisted things I’ve written. Not sure where it came from.
I really enjoyed this. The writing was great and the story was indeed epic for short fiction!
Thank you kindly
You had me at “Concrete Love.” Excellent story (twisted, but excellent.) This certainly cemented their relationship forever.

Thank you! They are definitely stuck together.
I enjoyed this one!
Thanks for reading!
He really was fixated on her! This is gruesomely good – what a way to go. Nice one.
A really great opening – you made me need to read to on to find out what was happening. Beautifully grim.
I wonder was she moving out when he decided to seal theri fates togehter in stone? If so she was a day late.
Aloha,

Dear HL
Now that’s the creepiest murder/suicide I’ve ever read. That’s a relationship that will never be taken for granite. Good job.
Shalom,

Brilliant tale of obsessive passion. And still very down to earth
A great description of possessive love. And ever so slightly unsettling. Well done
Concrete love; I love it!
LOLL!!
**they slid beneath the surface.**
I like that…
Whoa! This is great and in so few words.. I gravitate toward the dark side and this is a fine example of just enough horror that we can’t look away. Nice!
Oh my gawd that was creepy. Such finality and insanity. What every girl dreams of when they are in love. Congratulations you have just hit 10 on my creepy meter. Excellent story.
Brings a whole new meaning to pair bonding. A great take on the prompt!
Oh my! Freakingly eerie. So good.
MAX-imum closeness in a way no one wants to experience. The poor girl felt such terror. She wanted someone to smother her with affections, but not in cement.
very claustrophobic, giving me a physical reaction. well done.
Man! The tag ‘psycho’ is accurate.
A terrible way to die.
Well written.
hadn’t noticed the title.
Great!
