Via Ilegirl’s blog, I found out that November is National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo for short. I am not sure how seriously one should take a literary organization that coins such a horrible neologism. However, Ilegirl’s post refers to the competition that NPR is running for the event. The objective is to write a story in twelve words. I have previously written Drabbles, stories of exactly one-hundred words, so this is a challenge I could not resist.

(See you don’t need three books to get to the point)

A bite killed her first time; second time it was a stake.
