Friday Fictioneers: Time for Thinking

Every week, Rochelle provides us with a photo to use as a prompt and create a piece of fiction in around 100 words. If you want to have a go, then go and visit her page and even see what others have written.

My story is part of an ongoing one about a vampire, his prey and his creation. Raynard, Saskia, and Tess. This is a two sided story, with my side being written from the side of the Vampires, and Jules writing from the side of Saskia and her protectors. Click on the links to see the story so far. Although this is a part of a serial, I have written it so it can be a standalone as well.

You can find the latest part from Jules on her page.
