FAMILY - 100 words for genre shorties wk 124

1850 - Amarillo, Texas

"Looking for company?", the young floozy brazenly invited John as he exited the saloon. Green eyes sparkled in the moonlight. Grinning widely, he watched her bosom rise saucily above her tight bodice. A roll in the hay, a tasty morsel!

Then through the alcoholic haze he felt a sense of danger. She wasn't one of Lila's girls, outside alone, where had she come from?

Shadows released a well dressed gentleman. "Lizzie, step away, he's one of us".

"Lizzie" turned, teeth blood red from Miss Lila's throat.

"..... that, young John, is how I met your mother."

Thanks, Jax:) Just the response I was hoping for. He, he - this was one of those stories that decided to write itself, I had no idea where this was going when I started.

I usually find that not knowing where I'm going with something leads to some great stories. As you accomplished here. Great work.
