Oh Liz, you know I love a strong female protagonist--even if she is a maneater! And my favorite line, "the trees leaned into the dark halo of his vision like funeral attendees poring over a coffin."

I’m glad you liked it! Just a little caution that there is always a wilder wolf in the forest…

Thanks Bill! Who is worse? I leave that up to the reader, although I know who I choose as the real monster.

Compelling portrait of a predator and a nice twist at the end!

Oh the imagery!

As she led him on a merry chase.

He was more than a little cocky, and the true monster here!

Thanks so much, Jim! I’m glad you liked it. It isn’t groundbreaking in the sense of the werewolf trope, but I did enjoy painting the picture.

You're on a roll Liz. Terrific stuff. Loved this line, 'The stone pushed up out of the shaley earth like the great, grinding molars of giants.' - and about twenty more lines. Really enjoyed this one. - Jim

Thanks for reading, Bear! I don’t know why so many of my stories tend to happen in late autumn or winter. I should offer blankies and tea with them!

Yes! Symbolism and the endless wilds of the unconscious can never grow dull for me. I often find the connections taking form on the page as I write, not at all what I intended, like messages from another realm. Stories are magic that way.
