Five Sentence Fiction Friday!

Welcome one and all to yet another Five Sentence Fiction Friday! Basically, the idea is to write a story in only five sentences, based on the prompt you'll find at Lillie McFerrin's website. This week's prompt is Your Choice, which means you can choose any of the prompts she's previously given. I chose Wicked. This is my attempt below. Please enjoy!

It cost a bit more, but revenge is not something you skimp on. She turned to look at herself in the mirror, admiring the snug fit of the soft black lace. With a smile she spritzed on just a touch of perfume and nestled the camera in amongst the books on her bookshelf. 
"Tit for tat," she whispered, as the echoes of the doorbell filled the room. She turned on the camera and went to answer the door.

There you have it. What do you think? Please feel free to share comments below, as well as share links to your own five sentence fiction. Happy Friday everyone!

    Creepy character, but it has got me biting my nails...I WANT MORE! You created suspense so beautifully, and the first sentence was gorgeous in and of itself!

    Revenge is a dish best served cold. Ah, the bittersweet taste of vengeance! Excellent piece with a brilliant first sentence.
