Soo...I didn't know what to write about just yet, so I decided to start off with a short story that just randomly came to mind. I don't know if I'll continue it from here or not.
Some credits go to: Wings Interlude mashup by Ryuserlover. This song made me think of someone who is lost and trying to get away, goes through many hardships, and at the end finds their “wings.” And also the song "Home With You" by Madison Beer, because a girl needs some confidence and it mentions “I ain't got no time for no games” which you may or may not get the reference for the main character here in a minute. Soo.. Action! Lol

Ailat ran. Even as branches scratched at her skin and littered her path, causing her to trip more than once, she still ran. Because Ailat knew that to stop was to give up, and she couldn't afford to do that. But her attempt was most likely futile. She had stayed in one place for too long and he was likely to catch her now. Every advance she thought she'd made was lost because of her foolishness, and he was closer to catching her than ever before. He wouldn't let her escape again, and she wouldn't be given the nicest welcome back either.
She'd been on the run for two months, using the forest and the darkness of night as cover from curious eyes. As a creation of her twisted master, she didn't need much food to sustain herself, but her tired and aching muscles said otherwise. The soles of her shoes were mostly worn from many nights of running, her only rest during the day when she could hide and hunt for food, and blisters and scratches littered her person. It would be easy to give up, but she'd be delivering herself to the devil, and she couldn't do that. She wasn't that helpless yet, although she knew it was just a matter of time.
She shook the thoughts of her capture away. She couldn't let it happen. He saw her life as a game, all of their lives as a game that he could control, manipulate as he pleases. She wouldn't be apart of it, as long as she could help it. So she ran, and hoped she'd win this round. But sadly, Ailat wasn't a lucky girl, and the true game had just begun.

I know it's short but I thought it would be good to end it with suspense. Hope you liked it! (If not? Oh well! I was bored) This felt more like a prologue to get started into the story anyways. And I think this is close enough to the word count so I'm out!

I honestly didnt know what the heck I was supposed to post on this blog. I've just been talking about my summer a couple years ago and the Texas Rangers. I mean you can't ever go wrong when you talk about baseball. Especially when it's the Rangers and not some team like the Cardinals. Yuck. I still don't really know what I'm going to post next time. I can't believe that we're going to be juniors this upcoming school year. It blows my mind every time I think about it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started these blogs, I had no idea what to write about either. I just wrote about random things and about what happened this summer. I think the idea of a short story is pretty cool and I wished I would have thought of it. Once you finish this short story, if you still can’t thing of anything to write about you can look at other people’s stuff to get an idea. I read a couple of people’s blog and it reminded me of stuff that happened to me and some of the blogs gave me some inspiration. I hope you can find some ideas for the rest of your blogs! -Hailey
