She was excited, had all the right reasons to be – New job, great perks, beach front house. Oh what a lovely start of this young life. And then she met him.
As the door bell rang Sara rushed in to open the door, aah she was relieved to see him, the movers and packers guy finally!
She took him for a quick tour of her house explaining how she wanted her things to be packed and shifted, openly flaunting how neat clean and organized everything was, and a bit irritated at how he silently kept taking notes.
He started with his job as focused and as efficient as always. It took him half an hour to pack her with care in a body bag and keep it in his large van.
First packet done, he ticked a box on his note.
He regretted not having enough time to explain the why to her, but he knew she wouldn’t have understood! She wouldn’t, the innumerable times he got canned for being messy….
She had to leave, he had to help her…
His superbly organized soul mate from his beautiful messy world.

From my 8 moving experiences abroad the only good thing I have to say about it is that packers and movers steal enough of your stuff so you have less to unpack on the other end. lol
Brilliant! But I better not let R read this or he might be tempted to pack up his obsessive compulsive soul mate 😀
You should be very proud of this, Soma.
Hi Somaji
Long time reader, 2nd time commentor 🙂 Loved both the lines about soulmates and the short story with the twist. I think you are also a regular viewer of Dexter like me 🙂
Brilliant Soma and I was right, you are bad 😉
😆 you got me 🙂
Very well written – really great… 🙂
Thank goodness he didn’t leave a mess. I was worried for a minute 🙂
Thanks for the heads up Soma , I have a few people who I’m going to recommend this mover and packer guy to 😉
-magia i marzenia są motorem życia—-pięknych dni dla ciebie i twoich bliskich;-)
Didn’t see that coming, my. Wonderfully done. Shivers.
Hey Thanks Val I have been wanting to do a fiction forever and seeing you guys write flash fictions inspired 🙂
Cosmic movers, it seems – they pack and ship anything, anywhere – and they specialize in souls!
A business that knows no recession —
Cosmic movers wow loved it
and oh yes never out of business never a slow day
Woah. Glad you shared their business details here. Won’t call them 😀
Scary? Way beyond! I’m NOT shifting, thank you 🙂 🙂
Hey don’t say that 😦
poor killer what will happen if every one stopped shifting…I guess he would take up on teachers 😉
Heebee Geebees for me!
ha ha Thanks Frank am glad you are a bit scared 😆
If you were to ask my other half – she would say that I also love mess!! 🙂
Oh Lovely when it comes to keeping the house clean I always believe in “clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy”
This is one creepy post I’ve read after a long time! Great writing! 😀
Thanks Tanumoy 🙂
but it is a true story 😆
And that makes it creepier! 😛
I should not have expected anything else from you Soma, how scary. The next time i will see movers and packers and……….Very unexpected ending, I had to read it twice to understand. Good one.
Header is beautiful.
he he ha ha hu hu Maiiii I get ya Thanku 🙂
I want the movie rights for this one, Soma. I’m going to do the directing, starring (as you know who) etc. etc. HAHAHA!
Great one. Gore, murder, sophisticated prey…. nothing is greater than a psychopathic bit. 🙂
lol I know you will do justice to that role just read your story Crimson Drops…felt righ at home..oh I would have done the same you know 😆
What a turn this one has. I loved it, Soma…Your brilliant! ♥♥♥
Deb I was so inspired by your fictions just had to..specially after I read about the kind lady with husband in freezer 😆
Well that certainly took an unexpected turn! I like how you draw the reader in expecting one thing, and then deliver something completely different.
Thank you so much Binky, this one is my first attempt in this genre..inspired by Andro and Deb..both have been doing such a fabulous job..very inspiring 🙂
Yes, it’s in a similar vein as Andro and Deb’s stories. Have you ever seen the old B&W Alfred Hitchcock TV show? They had stories similar to this.
I am a deep believer in soul mates as well as soul friends.
You are one of my soul friends, Soma. I have known that for quite awhile.
Scott
I do too Scott soul mates exist and they are make this journey Beautiful and keep me strong..
Truly humbled by your comment
Love n hugs 🙂
SOMA! That’s just creepy! Hahaha! You naughty girl! You gave me a fright! 🙂 Clever.
ha ha was always fascinated by the movers and packers in fact when I was kid at one point I wanted to be the movers and packers girl but then I saw a train driver and that looked more adventurous .
Chuckle…chuckle…
Whoa!!! What a shock to my system!!! Good work! You brought it with this piece.
Congratulations!
May you be blessed AND safe. . .lol
SandyO
Hey Thanks umm dunno about safety am pretty creepy myself it will be battle of creepiness here 😆
love n hugs 🙂
I forgot to mention that your poem was awesome, too, and kept us wondering at the end! Love ya! 🙂
Thanks Lauren love ya 🙂
Oh, Soma, loved this and the twist in the end, yes, a little creepy, too! If we ever move again, I’ll think twice about calling movers to help “pack!” And lesson learned not to be messy! 🙂 Hugs and love to ya! xo
ha ha Yes Lauren be very careful you never know he he ha ha hu hu 😆
You always make me smile, my friend! Thank you! ♥
Great stuff today, Soma. Plenty off chill and creepy to it. Though sentimental that I am I also liked the first few lines at the very top. \^_^/
Thank you so much Steven, have to confess, I wrote the story first and then the poem and after writing it I thought not to include the first few lines and then went against it..needed something soft to give a bit of jolt..
That was a good choice!
