Vampire Woes – Trifecta Challenge | polysyllabic profundities

He didn’t know if he could perform his job with only one tooth. He plunged into her throat and none of her life blood flowed. This was going to be a long night.

Written for the weekend Trifecta challenge: Full disclosure: we’re going a bit weird on you with this weekend’s short prompt. Trifecta editor Lisa has a son who just lost his first tooth. In honor of such a creepy event, we want you to write a 33-word response that uses the word tooth. Your response can use any definition of the word but cannot tell the story of someone losing a tooth. (Because we just told that story, and it was pretty boring the first time.) – See more at: http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/#sthash.IQsRrVT2.dpuf

Much more fun reading this than going to the dentist!

Since I don’t enter these anymore…
“The punch landed with incredible force. He spat, hearing enamel and dentin hit the floor. He would win the fight and live a long life, but he’d never grow long in that tooth.”
Plus, it’s pretty much a “losing a tooth” story.

  There are a bunch of reasons. Partly, I was spending an awful lot of time trying to figure out how to tweak the rules, and in the end, I was having less fun.
  But I still look forward to the prompts and reading the entries of the blogs I follow.
  
  But here’s one I’m inordinately proud of, even though I just used the word while ignoring the actual challenge.

phew! n overworked vampire – great entry!

Thank you very much!

I’m not into vampire stories, really, but this funny! Dental implants may be in his future 🙂

Poor thing! Meal times are going to be such an ordeal
Enjoyed your take on the prompt.

I’m thinking about the poor woman’s throath – it’s going to be a very long night for her! Anyway this is hilatious 🙂

hilarious, I mean

Maybe he can sort of…gnaw? haha Poor vampire.

I would think a vampire could grow new teeth like a shark, but maybe it’s not instantaneous. He could always break into a blood bank!
Thank you for linking up!
