Love the bantering between them such as:<br /><br /> '"do the names, Hansel and Gretel mean anything to you?"<br /><br />"Yes, they mean you will read anything. Come, let us spring this trap."<br /><br />I agree with Li about the build up of images. <br />Fun text! Makes me want to read more!<br /><br />When you read my text you can feel proud that I am at least partly inspired by your other-worldly romantic couple. I have written stories about faires, cats, and now something new (but not zombies or vampires yet).<br /><br />(My other source of inpiration is the cinema.)<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><a href="http://annasadornments.blogspot.com/2011/12/picture-prompt-romanticfriday-writers.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's RFW challenge No 26 picture prompt</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-57917077019887276792011-12-04T06:16:37.843-06:002011-12-04T06:16:37.843-06:00Humorous ending.

But in a pinch, they fight back to back! Have a great weekend.<br /><br />Kerrin :<br />This was prehistoric New Zealand -- Fiorland to be precise. It does snow at the tip of South Island, at least in MY prehistoric age! LOL. Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Thanks, Andy :<br />Even when I'm trying for eerie, I try for some laughs. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Li :<br />I'm glad you like my set-up to the Inn. I am working this weekend so I am confined to just my blog and cannot wander during my quickly dissolving 10 minute break. Thanks for visiting, RolandRoland D.

Sometimes a scene occurs to me from a future book -- and so not to lose it, I write it down to fit into the book when I get to it. Heading to your place now, RolandRoland D.
