i love creativity, my pen's already kissing down the rows on my old page book |

A brilliant idea, but i think it should still be reviewed properly, there are loads of ?tions poping up already, nice idea though |

I ran down the dark alley breathing hard It seemed the longest race since the olympics He had a gun I was running not because of the gun I was running from chase I was not running from the hot bullet But from chase I stopped running It seemed futile He was closing in on me His face visible from the illuminating light Evil was his face I began series of trembling and mumbling He had a smirk on his lips I thought about my family I had none I heard him drop the gun He needed more than just to kill me Chase needed my blood He is a vampire, I let out a deafining scream Scream that came like a whisper to my ears Only to be heard more louder by the neighbours. Please, rate this, I need to know if I should stop writing and focus on other things instead, thanks |

Meklex: I ran down the dark alley breathing hard dunno if u intend to write a story or a poem, its actually written in a poetic form but sounds more like a lift from a story. I would say u need to be decisive on where u want to base ur writting on(whether prose or poetry), but i think u already got a base which u can start working on, before u know it, u will come out perfectly fine. i hope dat helps. |

Delafruita: seconded... I'm suggesting between 300 n 400 words. Being able to pack a huge picture into very few words is a challenge on its own. |

i have often heard it said that the brave never dies.strangely though,i can't seem to remember where i heard it from perhaps i unwittingly created the phrase myself to spur me on in my quest for "immortality". for starters,let me make two things clear: 1. i am not dead yet,at least not technically 2. i will soon be dead,technically i have often heard,and this time i didnt unwittingly create the phrase,that your life flashes before you as death approaches.i remember seeing such a scenario in that wacky Ben Affleck movie about a blind dude beating the crap out of some dumb fools.i remember childishly hoping the flashing thing would happen to me so i could finally be able to understand why i dont know the day i was born or why my mother died either before or after i was born.it seemed strange to me that poppa(thats what we called my grandpa) used to wish me happy birthday on different days in november of every year.by the time i was supposedly 11years,i finally got to know that mama died so i could live,papa was drunk with his friends,and poppa was the only living being that witnessed my birth.poppa says it was 2days before his weekly trip to purchase materials for his store hence my "happy birthday" always came on the third thursday in november irrespective of the date.after poppa died,i settled for november 19 and thus it remained. wait a minute,i am supposed to be on my way to technical death and my life isnt flashing.the only thing i can think of is ismaila and why the heck should i be having flashes of my favourite cobbler?how pathetic does that even sound?here i am on my way to eternal bliss or torment and instead of my life flashing on a big screen while i sit alone in the theater with a jar of popcorn and probably a bottle of la casera(preferably the new apple flavour which i wasnt opportuned to drink when i was technically alive) all i can think of ismaila with his severely disfigured face grinning widely when saying "kai shege oga.thank me bery much por eberytin" whenever i tell him to keep the change. there has to be something wrong with the entire death-flash-eternity sequence.i should be seeing pretty girls,big guns,my hommies on the streets,big mike and his ugly wife(seriously,ugly is an understatement),popppa at his sewing machine or in the garage or at the store selling everything on credit,lots of money,so many gl........i think its starting. i can see my mama(dont ask how i know its her) on the floor of the garage and there's this big woman peering into the middle of her legs(you dont expect me to say the words V-A-G-I-N-A in the same sentence describing me Ma).the woman is apparently under the illusion that screaming works with me.she should ask my 3 ex-wives.she screams away and finally i acknowledge her with my head(damn,my head was massive.now i understand why brother dele always called me edmondo when i was little).here i emerge slowly from the middle of me Ma's legs and then.......why is everything turning white?who the heck is this dude approaching me(not the baby me you moro.n,the technically dying me).he looks like angel peter or probably angel mary(i know i should have attended church more often.but there has to be an angel with those names.would be weird if they all bear the name "angel".no matter what this dude says,i a'int going nowhere till i finish flashing.i need to understand why i am technically dead when i was simply tryna do some good.i need to unde...........oh noooooooooooo watch out for part 2 |

Death is looming Waiting for the best time to seize my breath With tears I waited With ladened heart i wished On and on time seemed to slowed Pointing at my heart is a gun The cause of my death For i'm already going to die And until the trigger goes off i will still be alive Just then a sound was heard I felt a burning sensation My left chest was burning Screaming aloud whilst my grip on the gun loosen i spralwed on the cold floor My senses fading Looking around, it was dark Dark enough to be lost in its grip. Just wrote this one, . |
