Roberta Hood

"Name?" his passive tone hung in the air.
"Roberta Hood" The balded man looked up from his work at the sound of her French accent. Roberta tilted her hat as she continued -- "But you can call me Robin." The French accent had dispersed without a trace, had he imagined it?
"Robin Hood... How quaint."
--------------------------------------------
So this came to me as i was bored and suffering from a pretty bad stomach ache. I was watching the History Channel (yes... the history channel, go ahead and tease)and the episode was on Robin Hood... so i was thinking... what would come of something if i wrote a "story" (not sure if this will be the novel that i'm aspiring to write) about a modern day Robin? such as an assasin or something of the sorts.
Please pass on some of your Ideas on the "idea" or edits to the paragraph... and do you dislike or like the idea above?

  2. "Roberta Hood" The balded man looked up from his work at the sound of her seductive French accent.

    Is "seductive" the word you want in that sentence?



    Gotta say i like the use of the word "quaint" in the piece.

  4. I think it would be an interesting idea, after all so many people loved the old Robin Hood stories so why not put a creative/modern twist on it?
