#Writespiration – 52 Words in 52 weeks – The Girl In The Black Hood

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Helen Jones

Sacha’s prompts are always good fun, and this week she’s challenged us to write about ‘The girl in the black hood.’ 52 words, no more, no less. For some reason this one came to me fairly quickly…

She gritted her teeth, dug her heels in and pulled, the heavy load cutting into her cold fingers. Behind her a trail of blood and fur stained the snow.

Forget about little red riding hood. This girl’s hood was black, and this time the wolf was the hunted, rather than the hunter.

Fancy giving the prompt a try? Head over to Sacha’s blog for more details.

    We have a few daffodils, but we tend to lag the behind the “valley.” Hopefully soon! Enjoy your day 🙂
