You put together an interesting story with no wasted words. Thanks
Well written. The tendrils of ancient religious beliefs wrap around the lives of many.
I loved the recipe approach. You skillfully revealed the plot and backstory, and made this a short, yet highly entertaining masterpiece.
Well done.
A short, tight thriller to the end. It's so novel. I admire your ability to not only create something new, but write the story in such a way that it pulls us, the reader, into it.
Thanks for sharing
I take it that the phrase "head a few feet away with lifeless eyes staring up to the rafters" was the reason for the NY Mets tag?
A fun modern reintroduction of the mystical and mythical creature of Hebrew folklore, adorned with one furiously badass heroine Sarina. The Golem’s story deserves a position of prominence in this season of magical beings and high sorcery. For further reading try “The Golem”, a collection of some of the many tales relating to the Golem, retold by the great Elie Wiesel. My favorite Halloween submission of the year. Thanks very much.
You have become my favorite author on Lit. I look forward to reading many more of your stories. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy them.
P.S. I am a Yankees fan and even I thought that Mets comment was cold Eros lol.
Nicely done. I liked the slow reveal and gradual integration of the golem myth with that of "The Modern Prometheus." They're different stories about different kinds of unnatural creation, but you merged them brilliantly and with respect to both. You absolutely nailed what's terrifying about the Creature: it's just wrong. Bravo.
Bridle your mouth from speaking
And your heart from thinking
And if your heart runs
Return to the place.
No better protector than the most dangerous species, a female. I commend you.
