Awesome! So happy to be here!
And so happy to have you're here too!
This is Tantalizing Tuesday, where we get the chance to pick a picture of our choice and spin a tale of 200 words.
200, no more, no less.
I hope you will enjoy my humble offering.
I also want to give a shout out to the beautiful lady,
Sancre Darling,
who inadvertently gave me this idea.
Here is my story, Bucket List.
The bite of the whip into his flesh he recalled with bitter
clarity.
They’d been torn from their bower, in nothing but braies and shift,
to die under the lash. Because a common man-at-arms dared hands-fasted with Laird
Mackenzie’s niece, promised to a nobleman for a fat dowry. Right here, 700
years ago.
Gazing at the crumbling walls of Cearlaverock Castle he
smiled. Good, I hope the whole fucking
thing falls into the moat.
“Collin.” Katherine moved beside him. Her voice acted like flame
to the kindling of his soul. “We need to talk.”
He tore his eyes from the ruins of their ruin. She
always came back the same to him, eyes as blue as a highland loch, chestnut
curls wild in the wind. “Yes, my love?”
“I don’t want to do this anymore, Collin. Twenty-eight times now in 700 years. We live,
meet, love and only to come to the same end. I can’t watch you die anymore.” Tears welled. “I want a life together.”
“I hardly see where our wants and wishes play a part, Katie. It’s a curse.”
“I’ve met someone, Collin. He can help us. We don’t have to die
again. His name is Lestat.”
