Blurb: Fehler

Homework for Fantasy Writing. This story will combine several different short stories I have written. It'll be tricky because the main character speaks German. 

*Fehler (103 words)
During the raid of an illegal science compound, the government discovers something they weren’t expecting; a little girl named Fehler. They would hand her over to child services except Fehler isn’t a normal little girl. She is the final results of a mad scientist’s greatest experiment – creating a living human.

Commander Caderyn Bobber and Doctor Ima Stone must evaluate the confused girl to see if she is a threat to national security. And if she is, the two will have to dispose of her. An easy task for two of the government’s top agents, right? Only nothing about this assignment will be easy.

Blurb: Spirits in the Forest

Part of my homework for Fantasy Writing. This one would continue a short story I wrote a few years ago.

*Spirits in the Forest (85 words)

They blamed her for what happened. They told her it was her fault. They locked her away as punishment for her sins. They expected her to die out here all alone. But she wasn’t alone. I was here and I have kept her alive. I have found a way to free her. Now there are just a few more things left for me to do before I join her. I must find the ones who imprisoned her here and make them pay for their sins.

Blurb: The House Came With It

My homework for Fantasy Writing was to write a blurb for a story we'll be writing. I did 4 of them. This is one of them.
*The House Came With It (92 words)
The house down the road is the local haunted mansion for the church town. The house is old with an overgrown field that surrounds it. Many kids have their test of courage by knocking on the door. That is, until someone bought the haunted house.
Angel bought the house out of defiance of her parents who think she can’t make it on her own. Angel is determined to be independent and plans to fix up the rickety house. While exploring the house, she finds something that makes her head spin – a dragon.

Blurb For Tell Tale Heart

In Fantasy Writing class we had to write a blurb for a book that we knew. I did the Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.

Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

Bob lived in a quiet town. His next door neighbor was an old man. Bob only had one problem with his neighbor; he hated the old man’s eye. His neighbor had a filmy vulture-eye. It kept eyeing him and creeping poor Bob out. Bob finally became fed up with the old man’s eye and devised a plan to become free of it and his neighbor once and for all. After pulling off the flawless murder, Bob hide the neighbor’s body in his own house. When the police show up to question him about the old man’s disappearance, Bob is sure he can convince them of his innocence. Except the beating of the old man’s heart hidden inside the house is about to ruin all of Bob’s hard work.
