A Date with Destiny
My head is held high as I walk down the aisle, but my footsteps falter as, for the very first time, my eyes meet those of the man I’m destined to marry.
The blood freezes in my veins. His eyes are almost colourless, the irises the colour of ice under the palest blue winter’s sky—so unnatural matched with his raven-black hair. I turn my head, searching for an escape route, but every exit is heavily guarded.
My fate is, literally, sealed. We are blood matched and I will be bound to him for the rest of my life.

A ‘shivers down the spine’ story, Carrie! A young bride walking to her doom. Expertly told and I so want to know more!
Thanks, Linda. Don’t tempt me—there’s already way too much going on in my brain!

Thank you, Lotchie. I sat down to write about a happy bride, but this is where my pencil took me!
You are welcome, Carrie.

Thank you, Ems ?. I may explore this further at some stage. There are far too many questions unanswered ?

Chilling! And, very memorable. Definitely a great start for a longer piece sometime in the future when you have time. Well done, Carrie!
Thank you, Sandra. It’s certainly something I may think about in the future, I’m just not sure what direction it will take me; I think the choice will be between fantasy and dystopian. I shall certainly keep the ideas simmering away on the back burner!

thanks for your comment, Susan. I rather think that the groom is as cold as my protagonist fears.
Carrie, what an eerie path for your protagonist to walk! You created such a vivid picture of doom for your poor protagonist! I would also like to read more.

Thank you, Steven. I have recently done a spin off from this story, titled ‘Retribution’, in the 350 word competition that will be closing shortly, and had great satisfaction aiding the protagonist in getting her own back. It’s a tale I am definitely considering extending further.
