After reading Red Riding Hood
, I felt immediately inspired to start a werewolf short story of my own to go into a book of stories I am calling, Love Me Deadly. I was up in the middle of the night writing a paragraph that I will share with you. While I am still going to use it and finish the story, I thought it would be a good prompt for a writing contest or a tandem story . . . So, we will do both! A few rules:
Tandem story: Each entry can only be 7 sentences. You can go as many times as you like, but not twice in a row. Example: I write the first paragraph, and Jen writes the second. Jen can't go again until Justine posts a third paragraph, etc. Funny example here.
Short Fiction: By this, I mean less than 3000 words (less than 10 pages double-spaced) Any short story you want to write entirely on your own can be submitted to melissatyndall@gmail.com. The best three will be posted on Vampified along with the entire Tandem story, which will end at midnight, March 30.
I might even throw a free copy of the novel into the mix. If so, I'd randomly generate a winner and find out if you prefer an e-book or a paper copy.
Here's your starter paragraph:
She heard the wolf's howl stretch from deep within the woods. She trembled, not out of fear, but at the knowledge her heart could be so divided, her soul equally pure and duplicitous. Abigail should have never gone into the woods. It was forbidden for humans to talk to the immortals. Supernatural beings were set apart, regarded differently than humans, as they were both closer to God and closer to the Devil. It was too late now. He called to her, his voice lonely and fierce and recognizable, even in his other form. She could hardly bear the sound, so terrifying and so beautiful.
