Continues* Few days later,she left me this message on facebook. She wrote- "sometimes,love doesnt go as deep as we'd like it to. I spent some time in you presence but i really dont know for how long,for i lost myself in the pre tense. Floated on the words of your song above the trees,across the seas,to lands of magical mystery. All logic and sense deserted me as i fell into you. I swam through eyes of deepest blue to the very dept of your soul,dont knw how long my journey took,i just went along with the flow,sailed along the winding river to the land of never never as i fell into you. I sailed past your heart and on into your womb. Felt the love of a mother for her child but while this single act held my own self-esteem, It also told me i'd lose you in a while. I returned from my journey on an exhale of breath,my mind blown away by the blast.Dazed and confused by the dreamy attest,that somehow our love wouldn't last. The dream faded away,blue skies turned gray and i was back in the world of reality as i fell out of you. I still saw love in your eyes but that love had changed, a chapter of my life had come to an end.You left me for another girl and you thought i would wait for you?Love isnt blind.Just hold your peace and let me be.Thanks".The message changed my view about love and life.Though i went through emotional and psychological trauma but thank God i came out of it unshattered 1 Like |

Eversince the sad love story ended,I've remained single and happy. Regardless of the ending,that first meeting in real life was a special moment.If cyber love is as real as the more traditional kind,then doesn't it follow that there might be an equal measure of pain and insecurity? Early dawn,the mists were swirling,twirling,damp and gray;preventing me from seeing the other side. Like the waves from the shore,rolling away from someone you love is the best. The ones that love us never really leave us-you can always find them deep down in your heart.Our life is like a thorny rose,not perfect but always beautiful provided you're on the right track. Ever since,i ve worn a mask that always smiled to hide my feelings. My goal is golden,for can never be a slave to my emotions;NEVERMORE! Thank you all for reading. Note:- this is just a fiction |

@ op, Hmmm. Well, from on writer to the other, ur plot is intriguing though well beaten by romance fiction writers, but ur diction is mawkish. Also, your characters should be better developed (I know its a short story). Your objective is to make us feel the pains of Donald, and u really tried at that but there were some leaks in the story that should have been artistically plugged. It is even not necessary to hide the social site he went to find love since it is a work of fiction. To be honest, the entire writeup sounded (to me, at least) more like a surrealistic reconstruction of what happened to u or a close pal of urs. You have got talent and creativity though, else I would not have read up to 80% of the story (I am quite a selective reader). You just need more and more practice. Keep writing - thats the only way to become a guru in this art. I am still learning too. You mentioned being in 200l. Thats great. By the time u graduate, u may be a bestseller or have a great blog, who knows? I am a graduate myself, and due for youth service come this August. Modestly speaking, I am also an Author, a Poet, a Programmer and a Songwriter (seems i write anything writable, lolzzz), but as I said earlier, I am still learning. Persevere and one day media headlines may scream about the emergence of a cute young writer... [yeah, I checked out your profile pix ] More kerosine to ur Jet. Cheers! |

I ddnt have the patience to read some of it. *urhh who am I kidding, most of it* but the few lines I managed to skim through screamed talent allover it. Nice one op, keep the fire burning. But next time, when you say short story, please mean it. |

missyhorlah: This will be the first story I will post here!so I want it to be criticized Nice story. When I started reading I had to go back and check twice, you did well as a girl writing a guy's story. For a first story its cool. Try to write out your words in full. There were also some characters that didn't show. I don't know why. I also wrote my first story a few days back, I would like to hear your opinions. |
