This could be a vampire story…

I think it certainly is a vampire story.
Took me a couple reads to catch it though

Really? Hmmm. Interesting interpretation.

I was thinking rustic winter cabin without power due to its locale and poor furniture. The fact that he is pale does not make him a vamp. It makes him winterized! :) I like that she has found him, come back to him. This seems to be a satisfying conclusion to a long story.

Yup. Rustic winter cabin was exactly what I was aiming for when I wrote it. I was thinking Siberia… Anyway! Always nice to have multiple interpretations. Thanks for your comments guys =)

Well I see that now, it does make more sense that way actually.

Wow… So creepy I could die.

“…brushed his sharp, white teeth…”

Regardless of whether he’s a vampire, this ficlet is good. :-)

Oddly enough, it wasn’t the pale skin that made me think ‘vampire.’

Then again, my mind tries to turn every story into something Lovecraftian (or one of its near relatives).

To explain my thought process behind this: she’s the boss at this moment, all of the phrases and words that might have led to the vampire diagnosis are just there to highlight the fact that he would usually be the dominant partner.

This is my ‘fuck you’ to the 50 shades of grey franchise, which i believe to be a disgusting and offensive piece of crap. Anyway …

Abbey I couldn’t agree with you more. Offensive in a literary sense. It read like it was written by a horny pre-pubescent teen. But your entry was great!

I may not be enamored with the content. However, there is a high quality to the writing. And since ideas are a dime a dozen, it’s the way something is written that makes the difference. It’s the sentences like this— “…and I let the splinter of burnt out wood slip from my fingers.” — that impress me.
