Whatever you call it, I've been writing. I've found that my stress is easier to deal with when I write. Weird since I'm making up fictional characters. I thought that I'd post a couple of my snippets, and let you guys decide. Should I post more l? Or should I stop the horrible writing torture? You tell me :) here we go!
1. One look at the grey sky told her it was going to rain. With a sigh, she hitched her backpack higher on her shoulder and trudged into school, trying to be positive about the busy day ahead.
Looking up as she walked in the doors, her stomach dropped as she caught a glimpse of his walking down the hall. Hands in his pockets, a slight beat in his step, his tousled hair gave him the cool air of someone who hasn't a care in the world.
Suddenly aware she was watching him, she turned down the opposite hall, wondering to herself why he was walking down that hall. Pushing it out of her head, she resolved to put him out of her head.
2. She woke with a start, then wished she could go back to sleep as she remembered that she was no longer his. Closing her eyes against the pain that tore at her heart, she reminded herself that she didn't need him. Trying to push away the memory of her dream, she threw her legs out of bed and into the bathroom. Observing herself in the mirror, she saw a sallow faced girl looking back at her. Resolving to change her reflection, she forced a smile on her face, and started her morning routine.
Pushing back her chair and glancing at the clock, she sighed. Her day had not been as productive as she had hoped. Her dream from the previous night had kept haunting her thoughts. Running her hands over her forehead, she resolved to focus on her project. A voice interrupted her thoughts. "Contemplating the problems of the world?" Her head jerked up. It was Brandon. Leaning against the door to her office, he looked like he had walked straight out of "Lawyers Weekly". A smart suit with a powerful red tie, he looked the part of attorney. Why he worked at an accounting firm, she had no idea. Smiling, she said "the world has too many problems to contemplate!" Pushing off the doorframe, he put his hands in his pockets, giving her the smirk she knew so well. Her heartbeat quickened at the sight. She chided herself, they were just friends. "The world might be a better place is more people like you contemplates its problems." He said, a sudden dark look shadowing his handsome features. As quickly as it had come, the shadow passed leaving her wondering if it had been there at all. He smiled. "I came in to see if you wanted to go to lunch with mile, Danielle and I?" His tone was so invitingly and even though she knew she needed to start on her project, she accepted. "Let me grab my purse!"
3. Hot, searing pain ripped through her abdomen. She looked down, stunned by the blood seeping through her shirt. She looked up at the cruel face of the man who had shot her. How could she have been so naive? She should have called for backup! The strength left her legs, and she crumpled to the ground, gravel digging intro her cheek and chin, the smell of garbage and dirt filling her nostrils. The world was dimming, her vision blackening. She struggled to stay lucid. Gravel crunched nearby, and the sly voice of her killer washed over her. "Maybe the police will learn their lesson now. Don't mess with the McNally family." He cursed softly under his breath. That's when she heard it. The sound of police sirens drawing closer. She prayed it was her team coming to rescue her. With that prayer in mind, her vision blackened and he passed out.
Let me know what you think! Love you all!! :)
