S&S Invitational: Hunter Edition
🕺 Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational 🕺
The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. 🙌

@rinconpoetico7 - Socrates
She was worried because it was Halloween night, and black cats were inexplicably disappearing. Socrates' favorite milk was on the plate. It was getting late, and the black cat was nowhere to be seen. As the minutes passed, the woman became more and more distressed. She kept whistling into the starry night, waiting for an answer.

🤺 Prompt 🤺
🎥 Genre: Thriller
🎨 Theme: Hunt
✅ WHAT THIS PROMPT IS: A generic, thrilling description of something/someone going after something/someone else.
❌ WHAT THIS PROMPT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE: Elk hunting with the bros.
While at first glance this prompt might seem restrictive, I think you'll find it to be rather broad. It's very directional. And we here at S&S believe in helping you all become the best version of the author you are. This prompt falls into those guidelines perfectly.
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!

Thank you for voting me winner last time !
I had real fun with this prompt, not sure if it still counts as totally on-topic because I turned it around and wrote from the perspective of the hunted.
In this case, the victim is Marv the Magnificent, one of the recurrent characters in my D&D setting (and, I must admit, one I've become quite attached to, he's so much fun to write about 😀)

I forgot to mention... I checked the word count, and after a few judicial cuts before hitting the Publish button, I think it comes out at exactly 1500 words excluding intro and fluff....
