““Tache noire is the dark, red-brown stripe that develops horizontally across the eyes when the eyelids are not closed after death.” – from Emedicine.Medscape.com.

The red cabin by the sea used to house a serial killer. The small structure looks just like the one in the middle of your parents’ plot in the communal garden, only this is by the ocean, instead of in a city. Your mother always wanted a summer house at the coast.”

Tache Noire – is now published in the journal Requited.

Thank you to to the editors for living this dark tale about serial killers down.
