The putrid smells bombarded my senses, like rain over raw sewage or shots of oysters gone bad. Tears started to leak from my eyes, and I began to miss working narcotics.
A body found at the scene smelled much like the noxious air, probably why the killer used this dumpsite.
A repetitive buzz sounded. With a slight hesitation, I reached for the victim’s vibrating phone. It was the mother. I cut straight to the facts with little emotion, getting off the phone quickly.
The killer had brushed cow manure on the body after nailing her to the barn door. Why?

He deserves a continuation, or may be the mystery and a cliff hanging end is always better. The mind can always imagine!
