I thought I’d do a fun post on villages today and put you
all to work.

| Lower Slaughter, Cotswolds |

| Dartmoor village |
Now imagine you live in one of these villages and you’re
going for an early morning walk. You turn the corner and discover a…
Personally, I think there could be zombies around the corner
in Dartmoor, and I think the local postie is lying on the ground in the Cotswolds
with an arrow in his back and his letters and parcels strewn all around him.
Go wild! What do you
think lies around the corner and how did they die?
Shelley Munro lives in New Zealand
and writes sexy romances, usually with a body strewn here or there, for Carina

Lovely pictures. I think what ever is around the corner has to be horrific to offset the beautiful scenery. Zombies would be good or something like Stephen Kings The Dome. You're walking alone and whap you crash into an invisible wall.
Makes me homesick :) There is always intrigue around the corner and village gossips know most of it--but never all of it :)
I think dead guy on a bent bicycle, or a tiger, jaws dripping blood :) Or a wild-eyed riderless horse...
No zombies for me :)
I'm thinking it's the Book Idea Fairy lying dead. It would explain all the 50 Shades of...
Big Foot--in need of a rest-- leaves America to visit the Cotswolds and is resting his huge body against the wall after enjoying his postie snack. The local law, after following his huge footprints find him burping. He sees them and decides he will write a "thank you," note to the residents for supplying his main dish.
Love the pictures.
I don't know why, but I'm picturing a creepy little girl around the corner. She's standing there, in a fluffly pink dress and a bow in her hair, plucking petals off a daisy and singing a creepy children's song. When she sees me, she gives me a knowing smile and warns me not to go any further.
Ack, I'm heading back to my WIP and my serial killers...not nearly as chilling. LOL
Rita - I felt the ouch when my head connected with that invisible wall!
Toni - I know. The English villages are so pretty. Chocolate boz pretty. A tiger. Now that has possibilities. Did you hear the news last week about sighting of a lion in South England. The police didn't find any, but they spent a day searching.
JB - LOL. It certainly would explain a lot.
Elise - love that idea. I can imagine Big Foot burping after his postman snack. The thank you note is priceless!
Anne Marie - I got chills reading your suggestion. I think I'll stick with big Foot and serial killers *grin*
I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with something - and was very unsuccessful. Which is why I'm a reader!! Thank you so much to all you wonderful authors~~~
Hi Karen,
Let's hope for the best and pray that there's a cute little English tea shop around the corner. We'll have tea and scones and talk about books :)
Shelley - tea, scones, and talking about books is something I would totally enjoy!
I'm in!
English tea and scones. When's the next flight?
Oh, Shelley, I like your idea! Add in a quaint book store and I'd never leave. ;)
A visually beautiful blog, Shelley. Those English villages are to die for. Pun intended!
