The Meeting
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 Words
The gull brushed the other’s beak with her claw. They flew together for hours. A love had been building and needed release, a safe release. Side by side, coasting on the breeze, they sounded out their adoration for each other as only flying birds can.
As dusk crept in, they landed, touched, and went their separate ways. It was not until she arrived at home that Carreye shifted to her mortal form and put her hidden clothes back on before going into the house.
“Where have you been, Dear?” Auger stated from his chair.
“To the store.” Simple and easy.

Okay, you had me from the beginning. But I have to say, even though it’s a great story, I’m disappointed for the “love birds.”

I have gotten a couple of comments like that. I don’t promote having an affair, but it just seemed to flow out of the story and I let it do that. In my mind I am thinking that, perhaps, she knows that she only likes this “person” because he is a shifter, too.

I really enjoyed the fantasy element of this, but how you made it so relatable to the human experience. Nice work!

There was something about this piece that really caught me. I’ve read it several times, but I’m not sure what it is exactly. Very plain, clear writing, and a very plain clear story.

Thank you. I watch “True Blood” and the times the shifters in it went on “runs” through the wild just caught me.

This made my stomach turn. Sorry I abhor dishonesty.

I understand that.

I doubt he knows she is a shifter to start with. That might be harder than the meeting itself.

Dear Scott,
You had me worried there for a while. i thought the two gulls were going to use an old condom for something….Never mind. Loved your last line.
Aloha,

Not sure what’s happening with the transfer to human form, but a lovely piece. Now what happens next?

Great idea. I think that’s the first one I’ve read that saw the prompt as an act of tenderness. I thought it was a mother bird feeding a young one but so many have portrayed it as a fight. Well done Scott.

I was thinking the same thing, Sandra, a different take on the prompt. Good job, Scott.
