“Mystery Woman” sub-challenge within 750 words

So I'd like to take a moment to thank, yet again, my friend @EmilyMiller

I usually do this kinda thing in the AFTERWARDS of my stories, but I wasn't sure the 750 Word Challenge allowed for them, and so I didn't write one.

It started with Ems Mystery Woman Challenge to go along with the 750 Word Challenge.

And so I wrote one.

And I hated it. Absolutely loathed it.

Emily encouraged me to try again. To try something different. She threw me several ideas. One of them stuck.

And I wound up writing Reunion.

And it's the strongest performing story I've had in awhile. And certainly my most popular 750 Word story.

I wanna thank all who've read it and left lovely comments.

But I wanted to make sure Em gets her flowers too, because I wouldn't have wrote it if she didn't inspire it.

So... thank you, yet again, my friend.

Very sweet of you to say, but obviously you were the one who actually wrote it.

I've been thinking about the mystery woman for a while today, and I don't think I can write something erotic about her. I'm fifty-five years old and she appears scarcely more than a girl to me, younger than my two sons. My every instinct is to throw a coat over her shoulders, get her somewhere safe and then track down and cripple whoever is taking advantage of her. My dad-instincts kick in hard.

If it helps, I wound up going non-erotic with it myself.

Go with that. Perhaps she is your daughter and has been missing. Go head to head with @Djmac1031's non erotic tear jerker.

My story was non-erotic as well, publishes tomorrow.

Funny, everyone keeps saying it's sad, made them cry, a tear jerker etc.

I actually kinda thought it was pretty upbeat and positive myself. A happy continuation of their love story.

Me too. Any tears were happy ones.
 
No problem writing about that woman, but I used 747 words just introducing her to my MMC. Damn it, now I have to switch perspectives and try something else. I hate limits I can't easily accept!

I was saying to @ShelbyDawn57 earlier that the problem with these 750 Word challenges is that we can strike upon a good idea only to realize 749 words in that the damn thing really needs to be a lot longer, and that what we've written isn't actually a story, only the set up for one.
 
If anyone needs more inspiration…

Mystery woman #2

That woman is cute too. Maybe I can write a Lesbian or Group Sex story with the two together. Might be easier to stay within 750 words that way. You'll find out when/if I finish the story. :D Sadly I won't have time to work on it soon. Tonight's movie date must come first. Priorities.

Yes trouble comes in many forms, but always ends with Y.

Mystery Girl no. 1 reminds me a little of Eva Green, which is Always A Good Thing. I didn't see this thread until AFTER I posted my first 750 word story, but after seeing this thread and the image I decided to try it and I think I've set my new record for turnaround time--well under 2 hours from conception to submission.

"The local vintage" is already 5700 words into girl-meets-naiad...
