The very lovely and talented CD Christian suggested that an interesting ‘moral of the story’ for a fable, parable or fairytale would be: “Don’t let someone take and eat your heart.”
I thought it had so many possibilities both literal and metaphorical, ephemeral or visceral, liminal or concrete. So, I lay down an informal erotica gauntlet: Write a story, vignette, flash piece, poem, or set of haikus inspired by this. Or, if you’re visual, create something visual on this theme.
No upper or lower limits on word count. And please feel free to be as gory as you like!
If you’re on twitter, you could hashtag it #hearteater. I’ve been asked to put a deadline on this, so what about June 1st?
What shall we do with them? Who knows. I still have to think on that. perhaps we’ll set up a site for it.
