Hello all!
I hope you are well and ready for some more Flash Fiction. As always, we are given our photo prompt by our wonderful Friday Fictioneer leader, Rochelle . The rules are to write a story in 100 words, using the photo prompt as inspiration.
So here is my attempt for this week. I hope you enjoy it.
A Beautiful Night
“It’s beautiful!”
His arms wrap around my body, shielding me from the cool night air.
“Just like you.” His heart beats faster as I peer up at him.
“Did you say that to them?”
“What?”
“The others.”
He tenses.
“Did they beg?”
His hand slides up to my neck.
“Yes,” I shudder, “and you will too.” His fingers curl, digging into my skin.
I swing my leg around his feet and push.
My teeth sink through his flesh and into the vein.
“Please…” He gurgles.
“This is my territory,” I drag his body to the water’s edge, “they belonged to me.”
I kick him over the edge and smile.
It really is a beautiful night.

I actually laughed out loud at the outcome. Very enjoyable read. Nobody, but NOBODY gets in the vampire’s way.
Super-duper story, Heidi!
Five out of five Red Cross doughnuts. 😉

Well, I guess he knows now to stay out of her territory. She drew the line in a powerful way. Great description, Heidi. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
