Men Can't Help Acting on Impulse
I didn’t plan my second kill. How I didn’t get caught in those early days I’ll never know, my actions were clearly blessed.
I caught a beguiling scent as I walked home. I’d passed through the park, alone and enjoying the concealing darkness so late at night.
I wasn’t alone, ahead of me I heard the stuttering clack of heels, and she sounded unsteady on her feet. Her scent bewitched my sense and raised a passion within me, something precious that I only I could feel.
I discovered that there is more to passion than rage and quickened my pace.
By day I'm a video game consultant, and I also volunteer at the German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund - the charity that rescued the dog I adopted last year. I've also recently started compiling a website covering the history of the village I live, although I'm hoping to draw in some help for that project! Here is scratchpad when I need it, and a place for my personal projects. It's also an archive from back when this was was my writing blog.

I like it! who would have thought that 100 words could convey a story. I have been working on ideas for your short story contest and I cannot even get down to 500 words. Everything is begging to be longer. I think this is a great idea and it takes skill. I am going to read more.
ReplyDeleteThanks - good luck whittling your story down!
