The cougar stopped Dr. Sarah Ferguson, stealing her breath away. There, behind the left ear of her John Doe was a faded black tattoo in the shape of a cat. The long slender tail curled down and around the victim's ear lobe.

Sarah had noted marks like this before. Always gang related. But never on a vic so young and upscale. Although bloodied, the clothes torn to shreds on the surgical floor were from the upper west side. Nothing about the man hinted at street life.

Oranized crime then? Perhaps. But she was wasting a lot of time reconstructing her patient's life, when she should have been focused on deconstructing her customer's order.

The cranial cap was exposed. She reached for the saw and hesitated. If she did this thing for Volker, there would be no going back. If she completed one surgery for the consortium, there would be more.

But, damn, they paid well.

You’re website is working great. I had clicked on “she did this thing for Volker” expecting to find another short story, and was left having to wait for you to write it.

I signed up at your website last week.

Keep steeming!
