Comment from Janis M.
When I first was reading about the relaxing bathtube atmosphere, I was thinking oh I wonder if she is a murderer, and we are going to depict this scene of someone relaxing after their "work" was done. The needle stings were definitely painful to imagine. I think I would only change the last sentence. It was a little bit cheesy after such a chilling end. I would have actually just ended it with the paragraph before. No need for another concluding sentence.

Thank you very much for your suggesting.
Comment from Navada
This is a really imaginative and horrific response to the prompt! The shock of discovering that a prime source of comfort and relaxation suddenly becomes the means of someone's demise is really impactful.

Thanks for reading
Comment from Douglas Goff
At least she got clean. Ha!
Seriously, this is a great hrrr story.
I would watch the overuse f the word 'homes'. It was slightly distracting that it was used so much. This paragraph has it twice:
From quaint homes to sprawling estates, the air was pierced by the chilling sound of screams. Each one echoed through the streets, a haunting reminder of the unseen terror that had invaded their homes.
Maybe switch a couple out for similar words. Just my two cents.
Intense exciting thriller. Great read.
