Comment from Dean Kuch
Wow, this was quite a terrific terror tale, told brilliantly through the usage of just one syllable words. I'll wager it is far more difficult than one might think.
The story was suspenseful, had lots of tension and emotion, and I did not detect one single grammatical error, which is always a good thing.
Excellent work!
All the best to you in the contests outcome. :)

Ware the ire of vamp- boy, you sure dodged a bullet on that one lol. The beast being hunted- you sure put this reader in his head. I think the dialogue is a little stiff, too obviously making the statement that we need our monsters. Tons of power in this write before the dialogue.

Lol. Thanks for the excellent review. The dialogue is stiff because vamp is extremely old.
Comment from crowdog110
Good job! I like this piece. It left me wondering, despite the "Vamp" reference, if we were seeing a vampire or werewolf. It seems to have references to both. However, the beast reference leans my imagination to the latter. That being said, I truly enjoyed the work and this would be a good foundation upon which to launch a book or series of short stories. Good luck!

Author: you have managed to tell a story with only single syllable words. You did it without having a story that sounds like something you wrote in third grade, too. I didn't care at all for the subject matter, but you stayed within the parameters of the contest rules. Good job. livelylinda

Wow I really appreciate that. I tried to keep it add powerful as any story. Thanks for the excellent review.
Comment from lindalcreel
I suspected he was a vampire, but I had no idea he was so young. Maybe it;s because I heard that the council which governs the vampires are opposed to creating younger versions of themselves. Still, every so often, I'm sure one of them finds their way into this world. Good Luck,this was very entertaining.

Comment from royowen
A clever finish to this contest entry " ware the ire of vamp" I had to have a giggle, what if they ask you for a dictionary definition? Perhaps they won't, poor little feller, the vampire, he was just sitting around in a cesspool minding his own business and they picked on him! Well written, good plot, interesting all through, well structured and readable, well,done! Blessings, Roy.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm glad that you liked the line.
Comment from Zue65
Wow, this is really something new to me, not the usual gory blood killing animal but a young vampire who was initiated into feeding on humans by the hatred of the humans themselves. This is a twist that made your story worth reading. An excellent write, God bless.

Thanks for your time and for the excellent review.
Comment from Jay Squires
I am impressed. I would not have considered such a challenge. I have only admiration for you.
I have only one question: why would you use a contraction with "I've fed on their flesh for the first time," when you could have easily used two one syllable words for it. Just a question. I'd hate to see you disqualified by the way they view contractions.]
I find the whole process intriguing. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Craigitar
This is a great entry for this contest--I found no more that one syllable through out. Very well written, good imagery and great empathy with "Vamp"--you made him real. Good luck with the contest.
