Quite a journey, mostly a single location, lots of character-development, background and details, you don't have to go all around the world to... .go all around the world. One appropriately named character makes me think of a variation on what my grandmother used to say "what fur? Wolf fur, don't you want a pair of wolf britches?"

You did such an awesome job with this scene. You finally brought the much needed TEETH! :lurve::casanova: I know you were nervous but the muse found you.

What can I say? Greatly crafted and suspensful exposition, as well as the introduction of an intriguing character!:jammin:

Your chapter pushed the suspense and creepiness of the story foreword in such a well worded way. Now to see what will unfold...

Been away for the better part of the last few weeks and just got caught up on the entries.
Wow, you guys are next-level weavers!!! I've really enjoyed what's been shared so far. The character development is fantastic, the whole thing cycles from the depths to the surface and back down again effortlessly as great stories do. Makes for great reading!!!

I'm putting a napkin on my lap because you guys are delivering!! :cool:

You really like it??? That’s high praise from you! I was saddened that you didn’t join us this year on the project, and I’ve been waiting anxiously to see what you thought!

It has been a little hectic keeping up with the story because my husband had surgery this past week, but he is a very good patient

Nomik - I liked the vampire and werewolf idea and the story has been smooth the whole way. Great writing!

Ebdim9th - You added something I like and that is back story, as well as even more suspense. Great job.

Tery - You tied everything up in a neat tidy package for the ending. Enjoyed it so much! Good writing.

Ebdim9th my pinch hitter! Thank you so much for stepping in to work magic at the last minute!
Tery
I’m so thrilled that I chose you to go last! You nailed it: beautifully crafted and perfectly pagan piece!

A huge thank you to all my writers this year!
We did it again!!!!!:hands::biglove::biglove::casanova::casanova::clap::clap::clap::clap:
I loved working with you guys on this project.
Till next year, I bid you a very scary Halloween (blessed Samhain)...
Don’t let anything that goes bump in the night bite! (Too hard, unless you’re into that ;;D)

A fair bit of the research was Tery's, I just followed her lead and connected with where Nomi left off... the blue mist trail I forget at the moment which writer introduced it, im just posting off the top of my head like I more often do....
