Her name’s Lily.
Like the flower… but she was born a star.
Tinseltown’s in her blood.
There’s just something between her and the camera.. a sensuous love affair.
How she’d pout those sultry lips… Oh I adored her!
So did everyone else…
But never has her name caused greater clamor than when they found her in the tub that night… cold, lifeless…
Famous actress: OD’d – classic Hollywood story. We mourned.
Mama always said, “Eve, they ain’t gon’ hand you the spotlight, honey. You’re gonna have to steal it.”
Oh Mama, you never told me I’d have to kill for it.

Inspired by one of my fave old Hollywood films 🙂 I’m pretty sure you can guess it
The Eclectic Eccentric 
A great sad story kz… I like it. 🙂
thanks 🙂
Masterfully written. The narrator has a really strong voice.
thank you 🙂
I am sure the marketers of the lily never imagined it would make everyone think of death. The overwhelming bulk of FF stories so far have death as their theme. A good tale KZ.
haha haven’t read the other stories yet but i certainly will.. prolly coz they look good for funerals ^^ thanks for droppin by ^^
HAHA! Oh there’s blood on you hands, Lady Kz, there’s blood on your hands, since you started this blog, and maybe before…great fun that one, in a devilish way of course…
haha i remembered what you said about the ghosts of the people i’ve murdered in my stories.. how they’d all go out and haunt me.. (which would make for a great story btw) ^^
A winner here. 🙂
thank you ^^
Beautiful story … you really are a storehouse of amazing tales !!!
thanks so much 🙂
I swear this is a group of scary people, bumping off folks right and left…or worse!! Maybe I should be relieved everyone is a virtual world away. 🙂

No kidding! With all these murderers running around, my little death angel’s looking pretty tame! This is a brutal group, especially this week!
haha yup this is one bloodthirsty bunch ^^
Now that’s dedication…! 🙂
haha true ^^ gotta admire her dedication ^^
This is great storytelling!
thank you 🙂
Nice work! Compression at its best with this one!
Wow! That’s a Hollywood story all right. Super stuff, KZ! Keep going!!!
Very strong voice, KZ. It read very well, and by the end, I had a clear image of your narrator. I like the sadness and regret at the end.
Powerful! You managed to combine both ruthless ambition and regret in the same piece.
a very good one, kz:) fabulous writing style here:)
Dear KZ,
YIKES! Nice composition. Well told evil.
shalom,
Rochelle
thanks so much 🙂
Oh, this was really well done, you got a lot of different emotions across in so few words, left me unsure how to feel about your narrator – very good story.
A classic, very nicely told. Very cool, kz!
Excellent idea, superbly told.
Hi KZ,
Didn’t see that coming. Thought the story of Lily and her death were going to carry it, but you put an extra twist that made it even better. Ron
Loved it!
The black Lilly….well done!

😆 Some one give her a star before they lock her up. Enjoyed.
A really strong voice for your character here. How terrible that she was forced into taking such extreme action, I feel for her, really I do.
That Eve is a naughty girl.
Such a great twist. I never knew…

Powerfully beautiful.
Fantastic! Great little tale with a slow and easy pace, building to the surprise at the end! Great work!
What price fame? Oh, Eve, I think you did a bad, bad thing! This was well written and a lot of fun to read.
Great story/ alot of killing behind this lily. Yours is a great angle
Love this – brilliantly written – especially the last line.
It is absolutely true. For some reason the Lily picture has really brought out the murder story this week! Nice piece, was she an understudy? Lovely twist at the end, like a crazed fan that kills their idol. Lovely writing.
yes, exactly, she was! ^^ i was inspired by one of my fave movies, All About Eve ^^ thanks for readin
Nice writing!
oh my. killing to get the spotlight. just not sure it’s going to turn out to be the kind of light she wants. great story 🙂
Good lawd just don’t tell me it was her sister!
You naughty girl, kz.
Wow… From someone who was close to “show biz”…I knew a few of those killers who would do anything to get ahead (like “All About Eve)…Even some famous ones…but not revealing names…lol. Nice work.
Well done. I enjoyed the changes of mood and tone throughout. I can’t tell from the last line whether Eve’s saddened by her actions or not, which is good. I think she is, but then again…
Dear Kz,
I loved the final line, a fitting end to a good story. The lure of the lights and easy reward were sparingly but clearly told in your tawdry tale of tinseltown and temptation.
Aloha,
Doug
Rather chilling! I was about to share the post on FB after reading the beginning… my grand daughter’s name is Lilly…
No, it’s good but the end sent a shiver down my spine!
