This fifty-word story, Bobcat, has the required word count and seems to be showing us a real bobcat avoiding capture, a woman reacting like a wild animal to escape her assailant, or something more ultra-natural.

The picture is a ruse but the demon in your story was a muse, right? I was confused with my first reading but realized on the second try the picture was deceptive and the villainess in the alley was either a spirit or a well-equipped hooker.

These cats are wild and dangerous, although they look so cute. Your irony made me smiles here, few words painting a terrifying scene, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Was someone approaching the bobcat surroundings? Bobcats and feral cats have special spots in their ranges that they use consistently. They have safe, inner sanctums and include well-hidden shelters for secure napping.

Excellent entry for the 50 Worder writing prompt contest. You did a good job with the Word count and the story flow. A clear beginning and end.

The story is funny, I liked it.

Good luck in the contest.

Hmm, reads like the tables were turned on unsuspecting Carlton.
She is a senorita wandering aimlessly(No doubt as a ruse?), but she attacks him like a feral bobcat in heat, her claws and teeth ripping his flesh apart.
Made me wonder exactly what she was, not a vampiress, they are after just blood.
A female werewolf?
Hmmm...

I have not attempted anything less than 100 words yet so well done for managing to get an atmosphere into your story.
I do wonder if the opening would be better as; "The senorita wandered aimlessly..."
and I do not think the word 'ferociously' is needed at the end - just the hiss is enough.
Good luck in the contest.

    Eliminating ferociously would make the entry 49 not 50 words. Therefore, no can do.

I loved the twist at the end of your story! You built up the reader's expectations, then pulled that ending! Congratulations on that, and thanks for sharing it here.

I like the fast pace of the story. You managed to tell a whole story in no more than 50 words. I wish you good luck during your contest. Well done. :)
