Some people are so dense they walk right into a disastrous situation with their eyes wide open, yet failing to see what is right in front of them, they fall prey to destruction. Instead of running away, they walk openly into the midst of the fire. They then have the nerve to ask why they got burned. Good job of narrative storytelling.

This was really excellent, and I loved how you managed to tell a complete story using just dialogue, and I was totally immersed in it. I was skeptical of her claims at first, but I loved how you ended it. It flowed really well and the two characters both really stood out. I can see why it won the contest.

That was a fabulous story! And, of course you would win. Now if a man came up to me and said he was a he-wolf, I'd run, and not look back! This was so creative and thoroughly enjoyable. Well done and congratulations! :)) Sandra xx

You did an excellent job with your dialogue only storyline. I really like your characters interactions.
I actually could believe this was really happening between the boy and girl. Thanks for sharing this story and good luck in the contest.

This was very entertaining. I would probably feel exactly like the guy though. But the elaborate story seemed to do the trick. At least, he believed her but by then, well, it was too late. As they say 'another one bites the dust'. Great story and good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Very good dialogue which told the story extremely well. A clever way to present the story actually. Obviously the judges felt it was good. Well done and keep up the good writing. Always good to read.

You sure made it sound real; I have watched these kinds of movies and I freak out when the face is no longer human. There is a lot to science fiction, and I would base your story on just that type of story.

This is fascinating...so well written. Werewolves are always a scary thing and I like that she is trying to protect the guy who continues to remain sceptic until there is no doubt.

Hi Mystery Fantasy Writer!
A very engaging story about a girl who's trying to tell an admirer why she can't go out on a date with him. She's very direct about why, but he insists on not believable until it's too late. You leave the reader wondering the outcome, but we're pretty sure it's not going to be good.
The dialogue was easy to follow, but if you want, you might want give setting clues and names in the conversation to help develop set the stage. Great story, though, and a good response to the prompt.

Good luck in the contest,
Rhonda

You have done an excellent job with the writing prompt. I love the ending. It kind of leaves the reader hanging and wondering what happened next. You should write a sequel to this. Best of luck in the contest.

    Thank you so much - possibly that may be on the cards at some point in the future! If so, I think the sequel might be in the third person. :)
