Words Can Kill, by George W. Clever, is a thriller/mystery novel with a story within a story. Staring at the computer screen Fred knew he had a writer's block in his story about P.I. Mike Dunmore. Maybe a search for a writer prompt would help. Fred found a prompt on the web with this warning. "If you click this icon you will never stop writing." Maybe "never stop writing" would help him finish his novel. He clicked it with his computer mouse. Fred was up to the challenge until his Butterfly or Brain Fart thoughts began to appear on the computer screen and become part of his life. One of his thoughts on the screen spelled out how his wife must die.
