Posted on 31 October 2017 by what sandra thinks

She knew the moment she drank the last of his blood, there would be no turning back. Death would never come. And she would be with him forever… just like she always wanted. She would feel love and warmth, and she would finally be at peace. She knew she’d made the right decision.

But when the last drop trickled down her throat, she only felt one thing.

Regret.

It’s not Monday anymore, but since I’ve been struggling to write lately, trying this seemed like a good idea. I’m not especially proud of this but I’m posting it anyway…

You can find the details at Lovely Curses.

This week’s prompt was the photo above.

About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

    Sometimes what you believe to be the right choices can end up being the most consequential. Love to read more 🙂

    Oooh, this is good! Such tension at the end. I love the last lines. They strike the question of “Am I willing to become a monster forever, just for love’s sake?” This would be a great story if you continued it.
