Oohh, is this a vampire story? Please tell me I got it right, haha! It definitely gives off that vibe...first with how the narrator is consumed by her in memory, then in physical form, and finally in hunger. "Blackened nails sliced into my shoulders. Gleaming fangs found their mark on the tender meat of my neck." That line sealed it for me! Nonetheless, you wrote this so hauntingly...an intoxicating portrayal of obsession and surrender.

Yes! Exactly that. I had thought of this a minute ago and the prompts really helped me set it in stone. The three hundred words worked out well for this one. Your insights are always dope to hear and that’s exactly the feel I was going for. An intoxication of emotion.

I feel like I just won a trophy with that confirmation! Haha. You did vampires justice with this piece because that’s exactly the kind of emotional pull they have on their victims. And honestly, you became a vampire yourself by making your readers feel that! That’s great writing. Thank you! I’ll always strive to leave insightful comments and feedback. 🫶
