Creative Writing 101 (Online) - Summer 2018

Camille Green - Booth - Week: 6

My love is a modern day Merlin, trapped by an evil mermaid who beguiled him and tricked him into marriage. He watches out the window of his office, waiting for the day when his Morgana thinks of a way to rescue him. I WILL NOT disappoint him. It will take all of his power, as well as any I can muster, for us to accomplish this feat. But make no mistake: it IS possible, and we WILL do it. It is worth everything we have to give.Being under the spell of this wicked siren has harmed Merlin greatly, and his forced slavery has made him believe that he is powerless against the evil surrounding him. But Merlin is as powerful as he always and ever was, and Morgana is determined to make him see that. After all, Merlin was the one who taught HER. If it has to be thru a window that she reaches her love and teacher (her EVERYTHING!), so be it.

Well you've got my attention!  I want to know who these people are and how they came to be in relationship to each other.  Or, if they're even in a relationship. I'd like to know more.

Camille, I must admit I'd never heard of flash fiction before. After reading your piece, which I find fascinating, I did some googling. I'm intrigued! 

I would love to read the rest of this.

Camille,

Yes! Very intriguing! with elements of magic and secrets and mystery! A very unusual way to take the title "The Window" and pull us in!
