One-Drabble for June, 2022 [Horror]

Week-one: Gems
The Choker

Upon passing, Grandmother left everything to Gemma except the only thing of real value. Hanna, Gemma's younger identical twin, made it clear in her smug attitude that she was the indisputable winner. Grandmother's favorite.

Hanna flaunted the family heirloom—an emerald encrusted platinum choker—its brilliance displayed upon her slender neck, vowing to never remove the prize. 

​Gemma complimented Hanna on the contrast of the deep green against her flawless skin, careful to avoid staring at the pulsing rope of her jugular enhanced by the center stone. It would be easy to slip the choker off a neck slickened by arterial blood.
