So this is the new challenge, and it's somewhat more structured than previous challenges. Below you will find opening lines to a story. Your task is to finish the story.
You must start with the prompt:
Prompt:
It was a dark night. It was a stormy night. Far down wolves howled and wailed at the black, moonless sky like clerics of some primeval sodality. Aqueous orbs tumbled and twirled from their cumulonimbeous birth to the lonely earth below, shattering into millions of featureless specks - bursting and breaking their bodies on the windows of the house where, inside, it was warm and dry.
You are limited to 4 double-spaced, 12 point font, 1-in margin pages and you must include the following words and elements:
Words:
• frippery
• vagaries
• "a swear" - as in "Liz said a swear." Literally the word "a", followed by the word "swear."
• wizard
Elements:
• A suspicious character
• Some kind of phobia
• A misunderstanding
Due Date: Saturday, May 9

You borrowed this prompt from the opening paragraph of one of the Twilight books, didn't you?
Gargh! How offensive! This prompt is too good to be in Twilight.
I can't believe you'd even suggest that.
We got it from Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.
It is way too good to be in Twilight... and this is being an awesome challenge. Mine is awesome.
Or should be if I do it right.
