This Creativity Post is an interesting one for me as it\u2019s not something I would usually write in my style and I think it would be fun to try.<\/p>\n

The idea isn\u2019t anything new, it\u2019s just one I haven\u2019t tried to write before.<\/p>\n

The story would take place mid-September or just after it turned fall. Still nice out but making a fire would be fine for the evening, nighttime.<\/p>\n

It would start off as a normal opening with a young couple going on a romantic getaway and the first day (Friday) is them checking the place out and unloading things etc. This would be long enough to be interesting and establishing the characters but not as long as I would make it if these were some of my normal main characters in The Merc Series.<\/p>\n

The twist would come on the next day (Saturday) and it turns out the girl is really a serial killer.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a well-known social media influencer and posts lots of day in life type stuff.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s taking lots of pics and posting stuff during their trip, but it goes to a fake account that doesn\u2019t actually post it live.<\/p>\n

She goes back later to curate her stories\/feed. She always keeps the guys hidden or edited out because they always end up vanishing after spending a weekend with her. This would get cleaned up\/explained better so she\u2019s not immediately a suspect.<\/p>\n

She always has a perfect alibi, or she selects guys that no one would miss.<\/p>\n

I feel like this trip will be different and maybe this guy knows what she really does and he planned all this to get close to her.<\/p>\n

Or he\u2019s not her usual type and he has people that would worry about him or he\u2019s kind of important himself and she\u2019s testing herself to try and get away with it. Like she needs a bigger thrill now.<\/p>\n

The other thing I\u2019ll need to do is figure out how to tie this better into The Merc Series universe, but I see myself writing this idea sooner vs later.<\/p>\n
