How come when you need something the most- that's the time when you have to fight the hardest to receive it?


As I'm sitting here, in this box-shaped room, staring at my prey three feet away from me, I am anxious. This child, an innocent child, will die. She is nothing to me, nothing at all. When she wakes, only then will she notice my presence. She is sleeping calmly, probably dreaming sweet childish fantasies of blue skies and purple unicorns flying to see a magical princess. Little does she know that in a few short hours her rosey red complexion will fade away to meet a dull white color. Little does she know that the curls that surround her face will fade and cover a life-less dull face. Little does she know of her radiant blue eyes fading with the sunset. Unlike the sun, her eyes will never surface again.

~Little does she know of the monster I am~

Nicely done! Reminds me of John Gardner's "Grendel". Great book.

By the way, I recently wrote a piece entitled "A Fantasy," and I'm afraid people might not read it because the title is, admittedly, lacking. If anyone would be so kind as to read it, I'd deeply appreciate it.

Short, but very effective. I really like this, and definitely think you could expand upon this.

Have you ever read John Gardner's "Grendel"? It was fantastic. I don't know if this paragraph was influenced by it, or if it's inspired by something else. Either way, I think you would really enjoy that book. Good work.

If I was your teacher, I’d be worried to. But instead, the imagery just took a hold of me and I was more into the deepness of the article then the outside core. Everyone thinks of death whether they admit it or not because everyone does die one day. Some die in early age, god forbid, and some do not. My nephew is the sweetest most playful child there is and is very important in my life and to think that he will die one day, is heart breaking. All I think about is, an innocent child, just like you said, is going to die but yet he/she, you would think, would never even harm a fly. So why should someone like a dear child die? It all leads back to, everyone dies. You just have to hope that that child rest in peace just like in his/hers dreams of those blue skies and purple unicorns. That yall will meet again in another world. Anyways though, I like how this article was straight to the point but with so much characterization. Greatttt!
