When I met Duncan Fraser, I knew I would do anything he asked, even if it was wrong…even if it was reprehensible.

His presence left me dazed and dim, like an opioid addict bobbing in and out of a fuzzy, murky consciousness. Even the sound of his voice dulled my will. At Duncan’s hand, I was a witless marionette hating yet craving the masterful pull of his strings.

Preceding a sickening swoon, I recall a pair of blue eyes, glacial and raw as he pulled his face away from my neck, pointy alabaster fangs dripping with blood.

Heather, you have written a powerful chilling micro fiction. Particularly enjoyed your strong
imagery in ‘like an opioid addict.” You painted Duncan Fraser so spooky!

A very gripping tale, Heather. You’ve portrayed well the power that your vampire has over his victims. Looking at your accompanying picture, I wouldn’t fancy meeting him down a dark alley. Good job!

Oh I love it Heather! I loved that second paragraph, I can absolutely imagine your MC just vacantly going about doing exactly what Duncan has ordered!

I can imagine a woman feeling like that about a man, Heather, luckily most of them don’t bite! What an amazing choice and use of 100 words you have given us, I am blown away!

Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
