I'm currently outlining a "short" story that I'm working on mostly for fun, but also to develop my writing. One thing that I'm experimenting with is interesting chapter titles. Each title describes a character in that chapter.
the Shade
the Engineer
the Assassin
the Guest
the Dame
You see me at the petstore. I cannot make out your face; to me, it is simply a moving mass of pink that stares at me with eyes larger than my body. You are terrifying.
I swim in my own filth, detritus clouding the water around me and laboring my breathing. My gills flare, trying to soak in every bit of oxygen my tiny plastic prison holds. So many days I have been lying here, each day sapping my strength just a little bit more. My colors fade away. My fins, once so long and beautiful, become ragged things with rotting black edges. Is this my life now? Will I wither away and die in this tiny cup?
AsI lay there, you pick up my cup, jostling me though you try to be gentle.
And then I am moving.
Carried away from my shelf and into sunlight.
I am carried…
Coffee: yea or nay?
Coffee is helpful
Coffee is useless but delicious
I hate coffee
I don't really hate coffee, but I have no desire to drink it (and I hate it when I'm drinking it, so yeah, I guess I hate coffee.)
How much would someone bleed if you stabbed them in the chest with a three-pronged pitchfork and it went staight out their back?
