The Den

By alan_benefit on Fri, 22 Sep 2006

* I wrote this story several years ago for a creative writing class I was doing. It was the first 'long' story I'd ever written (5,000 words). I've never been entirely satisfied with it. I've tried messing around with it on and off over the years - changing the voice and the point of view - but never with the feeling that I'd managed to get it quite 'right'. Anyway, I've just come across it again and thought I'd post it. The only thing I'd add is that ominous line you see so much at the beginnings of films nowadays: 'based on true events'. *
