    I like the double feel about it–at first I read it as a horror story and then saw the title and read it as a romantic tragedy. I like the words you chose too.

      I can see how you could have read the haiku as horror. I guess some love stories do end horrible. 😉 By the way, This is not my story. At the moment my heart is happy and healthy––not broken. 😀 xx

    I love it – but how about:

    wolf dressed as a man
    devouring her tender flesh

    I felt like ‘wow’ at first for the way emotions are captured and then felt ‘eww’ for the one who is expressing this.
    Very nicely done! Awesome! 🙂

      Tells the tale of a man (werewolf wannabe) who tears a woman’s heart out of her chest with his betrayal. 😉

    Very powerful words. Well-written, Vashti. The second photo really added to the dramatic effect.
