Wow!
I must say the first time I read the prologue and chapter one, I just couldn't get into it.

But I stepped away for awhile.

Then I decided to take a second stab at it and, wow, I like it!

Reading on!

I've been meaning to ask since you first posted...did you make this up (Little girl, little girl, soft and sweet little girl. Wear the Spring Maid’s green and a wolf will come for you…) or adapt it from something? The "little girl, little girl, soft and sweet..." seems so familiar. The whole thing just pops into my head sometimes!
Anyway, here's my favorite line from this one:
A big pink tongue flicking out to taste the air around Stray, to lick her scent and make it her own.

Author's Response: i *think* i made up that nursery rhyme. i certainly haven't found out where it comes from if i didn't. i think though that it must be the beat which sounds familiar; i spent a lot of time looking at folksongs about were-wolves recently (don't ask) and i didn't find any trace of it. Pops into my head at the weirdest times too. so in (long-winded answer to your question) yes, i think this little ditty's mine... glad you're enjoying it :-)

Not very often am I speechless! 10 out of 10 for originality and creativity this was fantastic.....such a unique concept with your writing giving us such wonderfully clear analogys let alone the mental images to go along with it.

‘And it was better she knew to be a live girl than a dead wolf at the side of the road.’
‘After all, it was better to be a live wolf than a dead girl, lying in the snow.’

Love the use of these two lines......1 fantasy and 1 reality but which is which should be the question!

I’m in……… x

I was totally immersed in the world you created - such fantastic imagery - and you had my heart pumping right along with Stray when she encountered the wolves. I can see who they are - man, you are just a wizard. I don't want you to get too distracted from F&R, but I really want you to update this one fast. :)

Very surreal little story. I can see how it would hold on and not let go.

Not what you usually do? And that could be a criticism? This is beautiful; the imagery so rich and the language incredibly evocative. I suspect you've seen Red Riding Hood recently and managed to find something worthwhile in there ... good for you! And haven't we all wanted to subsitute "wolf" for "wolverine" at some time ... because it fits Logan so damn well. Bated breath until the next one.

Cool, I like it! It always makes my day when I see that you have added a new story or updated an existing one. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this. Love Jitters and F&R, by the way.
