Aditus

You just made my day.

Or someone else...

My thoughts exactly. I'm, glad you liked the chapter.

Thank you!! I wish you'd elaborated....I'm curious. Thanks for the great comment.

You already had a hunch? 1.) @centexhairysub answered that perfectly. She was probably trying to ensure that her kill was discovered. 2.) Nope, sorry there are men too-

I understand the huge gaps are troublesome. There are several reasons for the continued delay. I wanted to wait until the story was complete, but I needed the feedback. I thrive on it. That's my way to write. I'm not a plotter, I write on the fly. I'm currently holding many threads, ways how the story could turn out, in my hand. I'm glad you like the chapter.

Exactly, some might think Kavan is stupid to choose imminent death instead of bonding with Gideon. I think Kavan is right. It's a risky decision, but who wants to be bonded to an unwilling person? Why does Gideon offer his blood?

Chapter 18 The Hunt “Our unique skills?” Gideon hissed. I tensed. Fuck. Did anyone in the room notice the Conte’s slip-up? No one talks about a vampire’s powers, even if he calls them skills. “Nothing will come through the privacy shield,” the Conte gritted out. Gideon still looked as if he’d bitten off something sour. “Doesn’t that draw attention to us all the more?” Uh-oh. And now he questioned the Master himself, who promptly arched a brow over narrowed eyes.

Let’s squeeze some prompts in before the anthology takes over the blog. It’s the time for creaking doors, flickering lights, and whispered words in the dark. Don’t forget everything orange. PT #171 How about we play with tropes: wide open mawing jaws, saliva drips, and then set a sweet counterpoint? PT #172 Write about a most unlikely person who hates orange and everything it implies. Please include the prompt number either in your story/chapter description or title to help readers who would like to search for specific prompts. Also, please remember that stories less than one thousand words must be posted as part of a collection If you check the subgenre 'prompt' in your story tags, then people/readers can find everything here: https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/subgenre/prompt/

Perfect. Plus creep factor.

Sorry, not this time; but I'm looking forward to reading all those cool stories.

So, after all those fantastic box discussions here, do you feel inspired to take a leap of faith? Do something unexpected?

Like Pandora's box? There's still hope.... Anyway, did you look at today's prompts? Just sayin'.

Do you know those situations where you ask yourself, “What would happen if...?” Or, “Should I do it?” This Friday’s prompts are about doing something crazy, spontaneous, and daring. PT #167 Write about a person who sees a phone number scratched in the wood of a bench in the park. Spontaneously they dial it. What does your character feel when the phone rings? PT #168 First line: Boom! Did I do this? Please include the prompt number either in your story/chapter description or title to help readers who would like to search for specific prompts.

Totally, *cringe*.

I like this. Both characters grew on me while I wrote this story. I did plan to write a sequel, but alas, time....

What @northie said. As soon I'm done with my current task, I'll tackle Gary's new story.

I'm not done yet with getting in the right mood

What’s a typical Monday for you? For example, heart attacks occur most often on Mondays. PT #161, Write about being late for work on a Monday. Describe what else happens. The bus is late, you forgot important papers at home, or the elevator doesn’t work and your office is on the fifth floor. Play around with minor catastrophes. PT #162 Write about a normal, mundane Monday with a twist. Maybe let your protagonist meet a special person.

I'm sad for your mom and you, this is for you because you're a great son.

No longboats for me, but polishing my swords and bow, after I finished what I promised, of course.

I'm mentally preparing to play Baldur's Gate III by listening to old favorites.

Oooooooooowhooooo! Nope, no distractions. I have a story to finish.
