Twilight in 119 Words

When I borrowed Twilight
my librarian friend remarked,
"Oh no!  Not you, too!"
I was curious about all the hype,
and read it in an afternoon.
Let me save you an afternoon....

Twilight, Part I

Bella moves from Phoenix (remarried mom)
to Olympic Peninsula (busy dad) high school.
Bella thinks: 
"Edward Cullen is beautiful!
His eyes change! 
He likes me!
He likes me not!"
Smoldering looks.
Chuckles.
"He saved my life!  Often!
But Indians say Cullens are vampires!"
More beauty.
More changing eyes.
More smoldering looks.
More chuckles.

Edward thinks:
"Bella smells good.
Should I or shouldn't I?
Why do I keep saving her life?"

Part II

Bella meets the Vampire Folks.
Nice house.
Vampires play amazing baseball.
Bad vampires come and want Bella. 
Will she get away?

At the prom, Edward aims for the neck.
Will he or won't he?
Find out in Book Two.


S.
I have no intention of reading Book Two.
