Closer

[lrig_rorrim]

Come closer, and I’ll tell you a story. Would you like to hear the one about the moon’s mistress? Or how the stars lost their color? Something scary, you say. Well, I think I can manage that. Did I ever tell you how I got this scar, here on my ankle? It’s not a pleasant tale. Maybe I should choose another… No? Well, all right then

Creepy! This was well-done. :)

Thank you! I like scary stories. :)

--My sexism is showing - I was assuming a male narrator here.--

Heh. It's funny how that works, isn't it?

--I loved this story, was particularly captivated by the opening - but I'll admit, it did fail to chill me. Maybe her escape felt too easy, too logical, too "I knew this all along but didn't try it till I was desperate" that made me felt she was never really in danger? --

Thank you for the compliment!

I think there was only so spooky I could make the story, with it being told to the kiddies, and a first-person narrator. I mean, you kind already know she makes it out, since she's telling the story. I'm glad you still liked it, even though it didn't spook you!

I love all your stuff ever. This is so wonderful and good and right.

~grins~ The stories make the scars worth it, don't they? I'll be wandering in those woods myself...
