Humanoid beasts that thrived in the dark and lived to feed; took the world by storm but Annie wasn't afraid.
Blind from birth,she never had the privilege of seeing the difference between good and evil; she focused her time now perfecting her skills and hunting the vile creatures.

Gee, most of us take on a scene or two in 5 sentence fiction. You took on the demise of the sun and rise of a new universal experience! All in five sentences? Yep! You did it. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteNice one. Enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jo-Anne. Very ambitious and well-executed!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteNice take on the post-apocalyptic - what's more extreme than nuclear holocaust? Why, the death of the sun of course! I particularly liked that your main character was blind from birth, giving her a kind of adaptation. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant...and a fantastic protagonist...could definitely be taken further!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like how the heroine takes what many would consider a setback, and turns it into an asset...one that will likely help her survive.
ReplyDeleteA new hero for a new age. Love her fiesty nature against the odds wehn all seems lost. Brilliant. x
