1/11/2021 6 Comments ANNOUNCING: The 2nd Prompt WinnerTHE PROMPT:THE WINNER: Heather RoseHER STORY:One wolf, that’s all it was. At least, that’s what the villagers said. Nothing could have prepared me for what loomed in the mist before me that night. Something like a huge paw. Then two. Then, what I had at first mistaken for a mere shifting of the fog, a head; higher than two village houses, pale eyes slitted. I stood my ground, gripping my sword. The titan wolf halted, emotionless. “No one told me how big you were,” I gasped, puff of breath joining the mist. “And no one told me how brave you are,” replied the monster. Ice crystallized on my eyelashes from his breath. “You do not run like the others.” Not brave. Simply petrified. “You… speak?” “No one listens,” sighed the wolf with deep sadness, fading in and out of visibility as the mists moved. “But you may be my savior. Please help me, brave warrior.” MY THOUGHTS: I LOVE the direction you took the prompt! From the first sentence, the MC's voice is clear and hooking, and you weave the background and description in so naturally! The fact that the wolf wasn't actually a monster (despite what everyone else thought) is PERFECT. And the MC's fear, and the wolf's utter exhaustion is SO REAL. Well done, Heather!
PS. Y'all, I had SUCH a HARD time choosing a winner. All of y'all's stories are so epic!! <3

Congratulations Heather. I loved everyone's stories, but yours specifically hooked me from the first line and the twist was melancholic and beautiful.
