Friday Flash 55.....



Legend has it...
If a Mortal sheds the blood of a Loup Garou.
The beast reverts to it's human form,
and must reveal it's secret!
The Mortal then becomes a Loup Garou for 101 days.
If the encounter is mentioned aloud,
they are cursed FOREVER!!
Loup Garou changes at will,
unrestricted by the Lunar Cycle...

.

(Loo Gair-Roo)...Bayou Folklore.
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!
So from the most Howling Host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

    Lesson #1: don't be bitin' on dem wolfies! Great tale from the bayou, G.

    Brian’s fifty-five sizzlin’ words are right here.

    … and mine is up, here.

    And thanks, G-Man. You set the bar really damn high when it comes to visiting each and every one who participates here and sharing a personal, thoughtful comment on their post. It makes Friday 55 the absolute best meme around, as far as I’m concerned.

    Glad to be here!

    Ooh, the art looks like something out of a D&D creature manual -- nice. And I like any folklore. I want to hear more from the Bayou.

    I'm playing this week! You can find mine here.

    Happy Weekend, G!

    Brian, we don't say "kissing the dummy" and "Ti" in the same sentence.

    It just ain't right, man.

    I've made a few wolves bleed in my time, but they never seemed to change form,just ran off whistling and howling after someone else.

    I'll be up tomorrow, my furry phantasmic friend--thanks for running this pop stand every week.

    Hope you aren't speaking from experience, G. I'd hate to think you might be eternally cursed. Must be damn hard typing 55's with paws... ;)

    NOW I know what's wrong with some of the folks who've had me pulling my hair. So, the Loup Garou -- what's the cure for getting its curse to last less than 101 days?

    Tough post for me.

    Mr. Know-It-All has tasked me
    For 55 words exactly
    A sprint of sort
    My words contort
    Write whatever I see

    My muse however has left me
    A fickle friend you must agree
    No address was left
    Leaving me bereft
    This is my insanity plea
    My words though they are awkward
    Will simply have to do

    My evil muse is a $&*@(.
