Every Monday Dottie over at Tink's Place (or Carole Rae/me) posts a picture and on Friday we share a story to go along with the picture. The story has to be about 350 or so words.
Happy Saturday! It's 3 am and I finally realized that perhaps I should post this FFF that I wrote. ^.^ I was tirelessly working on my novel for Nanowrimo. I'm trudging along. Perhaps I'll share what I'm writing, but I'm not 100% sure how I feel for this. I just broke the first 1,000 words. Huzzah for me!
But yeaaaaa, this FFF isn't my best work, but my brain is a little fried from midterms and lack of sleep. Ha. I hope you enjoy though!
The Goddess of Halloween
by: Carole Rae
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
Slamming her foot
down, she finally killed the annoying rat that had been scampering
along the floor. She lightly smiled and propped her head on her fist
and closed her eyes. Her time has ended and now she will be in this
prison for 364 days.
“Would you like
more tea my dear?” One of the crows asked.
She shrugged, “I'm
fine thank you.” Letting a huge yawn shake her whole body, she
finished off her tea and set it to the side.
There was a light
tap and the old door creaked open. She didn't have to open her eyes
to know who it was, “What the Hell do you want, Clause?”
Clause smiled and
even though he spoke quietly, his voice still boomed and made the
dark room seem alive, “I just brought you some comfy clothes and
some food my dear Goddess of Halloween. ”
Opening her eyes,
she gazed at Clause and her heart stopped. The rumors of Clause being
fat was ludicrously wrong. He was a God. Literally and figuratively.
His bright bleach blonde hair made his ice colored eyes sparkle.
Clause's body was the opposite of jolly, it was sensational.
Pretending to not notice how attractive he was, she hissed, “Why
must I be chained in here like some damn animal? Who died and made
Him God?”
Clause calmly set
her things down and sat across from her. She sucked in her breath
when his cool eyes settled on hers, “He created us and that
includes you. Besides, you know exactly why you are locked up.”
“Ooooh. But I
didn't mean to nearly kill that freakin' rabbit. We had a fight
and....GAH! Why am I explaining myself to Santa. Hell.” She looked
away and kicked away the crows.
“I know....Rabbit
had it coming, but you nearly killed him. Just think though...three
more years and then you are free. Also every Halloween He lets you
have a day of freedom.”
She heaved a sigh
“I suppose, but I'm just sooooo lonely,” She grinned as she
noticed Clause's ice eyes glazing over her shapely and sexy figure,
“Perhaps we could, well, entertain each other.”
Clause lifted an
eyebrow, but said nothing. The tick, tocks of the old clocked
seemed to go on for an eternity while they looked at each other.
She uncrossed her long legs and stood. As if she had forever, she
made her way to Clause's lap. With careful and tender movements, she
straddled him and wrapped her pale arms around his neck. He,
likewise, slowly wrapped his arms around her waist. Before her lips
could scrape his, Clause tried to push her away, but she would not be
moved, “Relax and enjoy Halloween my dear Santa Clause.”
The end.

Good one :D
And I am just struggling with nano ;)
Good luck with the writing Carole Rae - a whole book in a month sounds like a major! Have a good week.
B, ohhh I'm struggling too. I doubt that I will finish, but at least I tried!
Carole, it is and thanks! You have a fantastic week yourself.
