I missed last week's Tales on Tuesday, but it's now posted below this post, so have a look at it if you will ;)
Mum was a petty thief, and Johnny was a burglar.
Daddy was a pick-pocket and Susy was a hustler.
Billy was an arsonist and Sonny was a mugger.
Lucy committed insurance fraud and Rose-Beth stole credit card details.
Me? I was law-abiding.
But now I'm an orphan. They're all dead and I'm silent.
But if you lean closer, I'll tell you where I buried them.
Shh.
Short but (not) sweet. I found this week's prompt rather difficult I must admit.
This is a Tales on Tuesday post.

LOL! I LOVED this! I am sitting here chuckling. What a great surprise the ending is.
OMG my friend. I love this. Talk about keeping this all in the family. Very well written and the ending was a complete shock. Loved it :) Have a great week ahead :)
phew, some family! well, this title brought up some darker aspects in most of us. and it's interesting that we find it hard to write about something which is, in a way, closest to us.
in any case, well done!
