estepheiaLast year there was a competition held here in Braunschweig: Creative Writing in English for non-native Speakers. (It will be held again this year)
I pondered for ages and then I wrote a story in about 3 days. I made second place, which isn't as brilliant as it sounds, since there weren't that many entries, but even so I was very pleased. Especially since I won €75.
I uploaded the story today. If you want to have a look... it's called Nine Lives.
If you think the character Ray sounds a lot like Spike, well it's no coincidence. Actually, I tried to write him archetypal, using the BAD BOY template (which is of course Spike's archetype). The Englishness of the character has other reasons, I was nostalgically thinking of my 3 years in London. The anecdote with the cat is true.
The narrator, btw is really NOT me at all. If there's an emergency it always takes me ages to find band aid, and I'm much more selfish than her. She is the NURTURER archetype.
