Blood of a Marionette
by
Timothy J. Sparklin
Scarlett pulled off her pajama top and shivered as the clothing brushe d her bare skin. The
morning sun coming in from the window caressed her skin, making it glow. Lazarus stared at
the goose bumps appearing on her back.
“See, I told you I had an awesome tattoo,” Scarlett said.
“Yeah,” Lazarus agreed, who was sitting cro ss legged behind her, “That’s one hell of an
ice breaker. I mean, I wake up, and you’re in my bed.”
“I don’t like being awkward,” she said.
“What’s to be awkward about? It’s not like we slept together last night. I didn’t even
know you had stayed, since I fell asleep before study group ended.”
Lazarus traced the tattoo, his fingers light ly touching her warm skin. Scarlett visibly
shivered. His hands followed the tattoo’s pattern from her neck, between her shoulder blades all
the way down her spine, ending just above the curve of her buttocks.
“It’s such a cool design.”
