DL Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I like the topic. Because short stories are an important part of fiction writing. I personally like stories that leave you hanging, like, at a certain fork in the road, and you don;t know what the character chooses to do.

Twig Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I haven't wrote short stories in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 The last one I wrote was probably a few months ago. It was... this really short one about this guy, who's wife got killed, and who saw his bacon and eggs on the floor, and was saddened more because of the bacon and eggs than because of the wife.

It was about a kid who got kidnapped by aliens and transported to a planet that's completely white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisu Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Wow.. That must have been... Random. I never really write short stories. At least 1-2 pages in my book(for school) unless the teacher makes me do a short one. I did one last year about a cat. It thought it owned a school.Then thought it would be the princa-cat 'cause the princa'pal' took him home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliminateHRN Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I started writing with short stories. My first two short stories were about a race car driver (I'm a fan of racing) and the next were a short story about a alien race. I made a lot more, before I started writing full-length books and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I actually wrote an interesting one about a blind swordsman. He was all wise and shiz. And he was blind cause of a curse cast upon his ancestor in exchange for ultimate swordsman skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayasato-chan Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Username: Ayasato-chan Favorite Books/Books Currently Reading: As of right now, I'm reading "Fences" by August Wilson. My favorite book is hard, since I like mostly anybook I read. But the Harry Potter series are number one hands down. Writing Example:[spoiler=An excerpt from one of my earlier Original Fictions (not a fan-fic)]Thousands upon thousands of years ago, before men inhabited the earth, the planet was in complete turmoil. The deities, such as the gods and goddesses, were in a constant state of warring with the lower realm. Blood ran through the rivers, corpses lined their banks. It was a cornucopia of what horrified unrestricted warfare could accomplish. However, unlike the demons who inhabited the earth, the deities existed on the spiritual plane. Unaffected by realms of time. They had the advantage, as it was extremely hard to kill an immortal. But... as with every group, there are those whose avarice overcome them. Several deities rebelled against their own kin, siding with the demons, hoping to gain absolute power. To prevent a catastrophe, the goddess Nyx, who watched over the bridge between the two worlds, used all of her power to absorb all of the dark desires out of the rebels. It was too much for her to handle and so, with no choice, her brothers and sisters formed a collective shell around the swirling dark energy.

Twig Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 [spoiler=Chapter One]*9 Years Later* A rain storm has been terrorizing the little town of Myzville for a whole week now. The strong wind destroyed homes, the continuous rain created floods, and the bitter cold air caused illness to spread. Everyone was completely miserable. "Keep working you slow poke!" Tybalt screamed. I grunted. Slow poke?! I work faster than you! If you're not the boss of me, I would've killed you by then! Here I am again, talking to myself. Someday, I'll scream at you for real. "Yeah that's right! Don't talk!" I looked at my hard day's work; five swords, fifteen axe heads, twenty pairs of forks and knives, and twenty- five horseshoes. For the first time, I had finished every single assignment Tybalt threw at me. Looking at my body, I saw cuts and bruises. It looked as if I tripped on a bed of sharp rocks. "Hey oldster. I finished everything you asked me to do." The old man turned around with a surprised face. "Impossible!" "Look for yourself." I smiled as Tybalt looked through my work. Seeing his surprised face was priceless. He double checked, he triple checked, and he checked for the fourth time. There was not single missing item. "Well...I guess you can go home now." As soon as he said the word, I sprinted out and headed to my house. The rain drenched me, but I ignored it. I almost slipped as I ran through a path of mud. The little hut that is my house was right there, just a few yards away. My hand could almost reach the door knob but suddenly, I tripped in a pile of wet, dirty mud. The door of the tiny house opened, revealing a girl in her teens wearing a pink dress. She looked out, but no one was there. "I swear I heard someone. Must have been the wind." The girl was about to close the door, but I voice stopped her. "Wait! I'm over here!" I slowly got myself up and looked at myself. I was completely covered in mud. "Primerio? Primerio, is that you?" The girl started off with a giggle, but then she began bursting with laughter. "Oh look at you! I almost thought you were a monster!" My face was red, but the mud covered it. "Oh hi Millena." Millena continued to laugh. "Come on inside. I'll get you cleaned up." I walked into my house expecting to see my parents, but they weren't there. Millena looked at me from the other room. I think she read my mind because she answered the question in my head. "Your parents are away. They left town as soon as you went to Tybalt. They said they're leaving to work on a more, how did they put it, suitable area. They'll come back once the storm dies," said Millena as she prepared a hot bath for me. "It's always about work for them. They always say they want the best for me, but I don't think they understand." "Understand what?" "That money can't buy happiness." "Yes. Friendship is more important than material possesions.” Friend. That's all she thinks of me. I wish I had the courage to tell her that I love her, that I loved her since we first met. I had tried several times to take a deep breath and tell her the truth, but no words ever came out. I even tried writing her a letter admitting my love for her, but the letter was burnt. “Primerio. Do you hear that?” “What? Huh?” “Do you hear something?” “I don’t hear any-“ “Shhhh! Listen.” At first, I heard nothing. Then, I heard faint screams. The screams became louder and louder. The sounds of stomping hooves. Before I even thought of running outside to see what’s happening, a man burst into the door. “The village is under attack! The village is under attack!” The man ran off like a cat running away from water. I immediately went to my room and quickly grabbed my sword and my shield. “I knew this would come in handy some day.” Millena was speechless. She was breathing like she just ran a mile. “Where’d you get that?” “I’m apprenticed to a blacksmith. Where do you think I got it? Now come on, we have to get out of here.” I grabbed her arm, and she followed obediently. Outside, we saw the whole village was in terror. “Primerio! Look out!” I'm excited to make Chapter 2. It's going to be all bloody and shiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
