Wewriwa 06/02/2013 Crafting memories

Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by. Today for Weekend Writing Warriors I have another snippet from Eternity's Price, my paranormal romance in progress. Catie has been hunting, and has just eaten. Now it's time for clean up - not physical clean-up, but making her dinner forget what just happened, here.

He was looking at her with a dazed expression on his face, and she once again looked him in the eye. Slowly, carefully, she crafted a new memory for him, then put him to sleep. When he woke, he would remember meeting her in the tavern and bringing her home. And there his memory would split off from the truth. She rewarded him for the honor and integrity she had sensed in the tavern by giving him a memory of the best sex of his life. And then she left the apartment, locking his door behind her.

After going home with someone who lived so close by, she had lost that tavern as a hunting ground. Not that it mattered, anyway.


Well... that's one way to clean up after yourself, I guess. Next week we'll see what happens when Eli goes to talk to William about the conversation I posted last week. In the meantime, be sure to check out all the other great writers over at www.wewriwa.com

Also, I will be out all day, so I'll start my hopping on Monday.

  2. She sounds quite dangerous... a huntress of souls? How does she install the memory - perhaps that came earlier in the story. As Jess said, "very intriguing".

  3. Kind of makes me think vacuuming and doing dishes isn't so bad ;-)

    Catie must have such an interesting backstory! We can only guess at what her life must like. Thanks for sharing this.

  4. Well it's nice of her to give him the sex memory! This reminds me of Men in Black, where Will Smith always wants to give people he flashy-things "nice" memories. Hopefully these kinds of things don't come back to haunt her.

  6. Poor Catie. The fact that she's gotten so good at this, enough to have "best sex of your life" memories ready to go is actually pretty sad when you think about it.

  7. I like that angle of the story. It works well. It makes her a very scary character to be around. Great for the intensity and conflict in the story. If she were real I'd ask her if she made house calls. I could get a couple hours uninterrupted writing! Yes, yes I'm kidding. :)

  8. I'm curious, how does she change his memory? And what does he feels when she does it?
