Hahaha, I've had this idea in my mind for a couple of weeks, and the idea of running a flash challenge for many months, actually. But there's no free space for unofficial challenges anymore!

I hope you have a great day! Explore the endless planets brimming with life of the Yonderverse! Go after creatures, discover new places, and learn about the people you find along the way. Come prep for Summer Camp with me!

Trial by Water

Short Story Template | Nov 28, 2024

Jude Moffat is almost attacked by a vampire outside of her job and ends up being stalked by him. In order to survive, she goes against the prime rule of her sect to never draw their natural water magic from living things and kills the vampire hunting her.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts,

with stoutest wrists and loudest boasts,

he thrusts his fists against the posts

and still insists he sees the ghosts.
