"Make sure to sell that one too," the old woman says.

The appraisor licks his lips. He knows this painting will find a place in a private corner of his home.

"Are you coming?" asks the old woman.

He reluctantly turns away from the artwork and nearly falls when his feet becomes tangled. On regaining his balance, he bends down and unhooks a torn bra from the tip of his shoe. He's seen pictures of the missing woman in the bedroom and can only imagine what she was like if she hung a painting of herself in bondage, in the living room no less. He smiles and pushes the lacy bra into his pocket.

I'm guessing the short that inspired this story was The Sun Dog? It's the one that popped in my mind when I read this. Very well written, and deliciously creepy.

STFU. Have you never heard of a homage? Instead of tearing someone else's work down so you can feel better about yourself why don't you offer some constructive rather than destructive feedback? If there's something you don't like make a suggestion to help the author.

I'm sure you'd appreciate the same courtesy if you ever posted a story on here. In fact why don't you link us to one of YOUR stories and we'll critique it for you.

great

Loved the stephen king short, and this adaptation does it justice. Good job. No plagiarism detected, btw.

The retaliation

If only the girls would have kept it. Something I noticed, or perhaps am just projecting is that its only after He is discarded that he enacts his punishments. When faced with an opponent you cannot outrun, you must endure.

Plagiarism?

Anonymous -- figured you wouldn't leave your name -- if you think this is plagiarism from the original story, you have no idea about writing. I acknowledged the idea of a painting that changes, a great Stephen King horror gem, but if plagiarism is reusing ideas, most novels could be caused plagiarism because they are "obviously" stealing from myths and work that came before them. Different characters, obviously different emphasis given the BDSM theme, different locations, different style of writing.

I wouldn't say this was inspired, I'd called it plagiarism.

This is basically an erotic version of "The Road Virus Goes North", even going so far as to steal direct plot details. The artist destroying all but that painting, the painting moving to follow where its been taken, a friend/relation seeing the painting and finding it disgusting only for the main character to notice it has changed and using the same description of teeth filed to points.

If you're going to do that at least admit it up front instead of claiming it's just inspired.

I rarely leave comments...

But this story deserves one. At one point in my life, I wanted to become an author. So I read books from all of the best selling authors that I would never otherwise read--including some trashy women's romance stories and horror stories.

This story ranks up there as being one of the best horror stories I've ever read. Move over Stephen King!!!

What more can I say???

Good stuff

I thought this was really well done. It was creepy and scary and bizarre. All of which added up to a read that stayed with me well after I was finished. Very awesome! Thanks for sharing.
