Keepsake Killer

Create a tale about a serial killer who always takes a keepsake from each victim.

This prompt opens up several interesting threads to tug at. Authors might want to consider: How does the killer choose each keepsake? Do the objects express something about the victims, or do they carry a symbolic meaning related to the killer’s motivations or backstory? What happens if the killer cannot obtain a keepsake from a murder scene? This theme will allow the writer to dive deep into the mind of a disturbed character.
