  8. Protagonist: John the architect from Minnesota Goal: to be wild and free Obstacle: the bartender from Seattle Action: learns to foresee the future Future Foreseen? John jumped and leaned away from the hand waving in front of his face. He scowled at the grinning man in the Armani suit standing next to him. “Earth to John. Pay attention, would you? This project is supposed to be your baby. You could at least show some interest in it.” John sat a little
  9. The prompt: With a new outlook on life, a 400-year-old vampire becomes obsessed with a neighbor. Love Thy Neighbor? The lighter blond strands streaking the otherwise sandy-blond hair of the man in the house next door practically glowed in the light of the reading lamp perched above the bed. The refraction of light through the window glass produced an effect that almost resembled a halo. Alexander chuckled lowly at the irony. His ice-blue eyes maintained a blinkless gaze on the
  10. Homecoming Erik closed the door behind him with a heavy shove, swearing under his breath about the fact that Harry hadn’t bothered to fix it while he was gone.

They have to cover themselves in cloth because they don’t have scales or fur. If you touch them too hard, they practically explode.” “Eewww! Gross!” Drogar’s scales faded from bright blue t
  15. Kids will be kids, no matter what species they are.
  16. Here's my take on the same prompt. We had a lot of fun writing these morning. Look for more to come... https://www.gayauthors.org/story/valkyrie/promptingsfromvalhalla/13
  17. He swore on his mother’s grave, but then he swore on just about everything. Especially when he was drinking. Ben glanced sidelong at the man sitting next to him. It seemed like every night now that he kept an eye on his friend, preventing him from getting his ass kicked or driving home drunk. He sighed and sipped his Coke. Something needed to be done. He couldn’t spend his life making sure Allan didn’t ruin his. And why did he have to be the babysitter every night? He frowned, wishing he
  18. Check your calendar, my dear.

  23. @Headstall a prompt with a turkey in it!
  24. Very nicely said.
  25. Great critique, Cole. I'll have to check this story out and add it to my ever-increasing list of stories to read. This also reminds me I need to get going on my own critique.
