A One Million Monkeys snippet.

Okay so if you don't know what One Million Monkeys is I'll tell you. It's a writing site where one person starts a story and other people add to it. Now this is a snippet I wrote for a "choose your own adventure story" Tell me how you like it and feel free to continue it in the comments if you feel like it. (I'll have a link to the site at the bottom of the post.)
******************************************

You're walking to you're friend's house for a 'surprise' birthday party. She had said it was just a sleepover but you had known it was a surprise party for weeks.

It's about 6:00pm so it's about a half hour till sunset. It's in the beginning of fall so the whether is just starting to get cold. A gust of wind blows and you shiver despite the thick jacket with the words 'I'm me; get use to it!' on the back. You where never sure exactly what it meant--just some self empowering thing--but the jacket it's self was good and warm.

It's about twelve blocks from your house to your friends, but there is a short cut...but it also happens to go though most of the creepier ally ways in town.

You already had a track meet today and your feet are killing you. You really don't want to walk twelve blocks right now.

So do you?
a) take the short cut.
b) suck it up and walk the twelve blocks.
c) screw the hole thing and ask you're friend to come to your house.

Response to Writer's Digest prompt.

Here is my response to a prompt on the Writer's Digest website. Okay here's the prompt: One week after attending the funeral of a close friend, you receive a postcard in the mail with the words, "I'm not dead. Meet me tonight at Guido's Pizzeria. Tell no one."
And here's my response:
****************
It had been about a week since Andy died. He had been my best friend and since he died I've barley had the energy to get out of bed in the morning let alone leave the house. Really the only thing that I ever did really get out of bed for--minus the essentials--was to get the mail. I've always liked reading junk mail when I'm depressed. But today with all the cable and credit-card offers I got a post card as well. The front had a picture of a duck talking on a cellphone--it had been a inside joke between Andy and me--and on the back it said:
I'm not dead. Meet me tonight at Guido's Pizzeria. Tell no one.
"Andy?" I whispered allowed.
For the first time in a week I grabbed my cote and purse and ran out the door. If this was really Andy then I needed to see him. And if it was a cruel joke then I had to kill whoever was getting the laughs.
When I got to Guido's Pizzeria I started looking around frantically. Suddenly I saw what looked like Andy in his only disguise. The same one he used when we wanted to sneak out, I had one too. Our code names had been Fernando(him) and Julie(me).
"Andy? Is that you?" I exclaimed.
"Shh! Don't say it so loud!"
"Sorry, is that you?" I said this time whispering.
"Yes it's me but I can't stay long."
"Why?" I asked. "And why did you have to fake your death?"
"Whiteness protection. They said I couldn't tall anyone I was still alive but I just had to see you one more time before they re-located me."
"Where are they going to take you?"
"I can't tell you that. Not just for my protection but for yours as well."
"But what happened?"
"I witnessed a murder," he said simply.
"Will I ever get to see you again?" I said holding back tears.
He bit his lip. "I don't think so. Maybe if the murderer is found but it's hard to come back from the dead and he might still have allies out there."
I nodded. "Take me with you!" I pleaded.
"No I can't do that to you. Look it's just best if you try and forget this hole thing."
At that he got up and walked out the door. I got up and ran to the door but I was too late and all there was left was dust in the air from his car speeding off. Well not quite all that was left.
Three weeks later I got another note in the mail--this time the monkey was eating pizza--that said:
I just wanted you to know that I'm fine and I've settled down now. I still can't tell you where I am but I want you to know that I miss you! I hope I will get to see you again some time.
Love Fernando.

A monologue from "Vampretina"

Okay so this is the first big monologue I've written for a play so tell me what you think! I don't really know what background you might need on this so if you find it confusing just ask me! Oh except that Titus just called her deranged.
*********************************
ELIZABETH
I am not deranged! And just because I don't want to be a killer doesn't mean I'm not a descent vampire ether. I mean--in theory of cores--if you're looking at it from the prey's perspective vampires are the least bad thing to be eaten by because--besides insects and small birds--vampires are really one of the only living--or semi-living--thing that has the ability to feed without killing. And I don't just mean killing animals, you have to kill plants to eat them too.
The only reason most humans don't think like this is because the vampires that do kill make themselves more widely known. Not to mention that as history has shown that it is the vary worst of a grope that becomes the stereotype for them all. And what dose it do? It only brings hate, it is what has started every war in one form or another. If only it was the good and kind ones that represented the gropes? Then what wold the world be like? If people simply remembered the good and not the bad then maybe, just maybe, we could all live in peace. All humans and all vampires, living side by side in peace. This is my true dream.

**************************
I wrote this in just a matter of minutes because these really are my views and I was relieved to finally have a character who could pull them off!

Prompt #3

So, I'm betting you all know the story of The Hunchback of Notre Dame in one form or another. So the idea for the original book was when the author (Victor Hugo) took a trip to Notre Dame cathedral and went into the bell tower. There he saw a single word carved into the stone "Fate".
Now I want you to write what kind of story comes to mind if you where to see that word carved into the stone in that bell tower.

Have fun!

Dream Sequence from "End Times"

So this is from the part in the story where Emma (the mane character) has semi-joined the villein and is now constantly questioning her humanity.
*************************************
I was lost. I didn’t know why or where or where I was going I just knew I was lost. I saw someone--or something--on the horizon and started running toward it. It somehow felt as if this--what ever it is--was the only thing keeping me alive and I had to catch it. I tried to run, but it seemed the more I ran the farther away it got. Then right in front of me there was this huge towering animal of some kind and it seemed to threaten to swallow me hole. I tried my best to doge its massive fangs but it was to fast and to big. Just as it was about to engulf me I woke up.
I was just barely able to hold back a scream. Not only was that dream its self terrifying, but I knew exactly what it meant. The thing on the horizon was my good and the monster was my evil and I was slowly being engulfed by my evil. I wouldn’t let that dream come true. Even if it killed me I would not let it come true.

Another song! "Which One?"

So this basically is saying that even though these two vampires are technically at least 1000 years old they still have the same mind set as two teen girls(they look around 17-19). Here they're at a night club choosing what guy to eat...yum?

"Which One?"

ELIZABETH: Which one? Which one? Which one shall I chose to eat?
JOSY: Which one? Which one? Which one will be a tasty treat?
BOTH: Which one? Which one?
ELIZABETH: (spoken) Maybe that guy over there?
JOSY: (spoken) Oh girl, you can do so much better than that.
BOTH: Which one? Which one, shall we eat tonight?
ELIZABETH: Which one? Which one? Which one will be filled with spice?
JOSY: Which one? Which one? Which one will be really nice?
BOTH: Which one? Which one?
JOSY: (spoken) What about that guy in the corner?
ELIZABETH: (spoken) (scoffs) That guy's so high he'll only taste like smoke.
BOTH: Which one? Which one, shall we eat tonight?
ELIZABETH: Which one? Which one? Which one will have yummy blood?
JOSY: Which one? Which one? Which one won't taste like mud?
BOTH: Which one? Which one?
ELIZABETH: (spoken) What about that guy on the dance floor?
JOSY: (spoken) Girl, that guy's got more B.O. the everyone else here combined!
BOTH: Which one? Which one shall we eat tonight?
ELIZABETH: Which one? Which one? Which one is a one-man fest?
JOSY: Which one? Which one? Which one will pass the test?
BOTH: Which one? Which one?
ELIZABETH: (spoken)What about that guy at the bar?
JOSY: (spoken) You know that guy's way too old to be clubbing.
ELIZABETH: (spoken) So are we.
BOTH: (laughs) Which one? Which one, shall we eat tonight? Which one? Which one, shall we eat tonight?

Song from my new musical "Vampretina"

So here is a song from my new musical about vampires. In this song Elizabeth (the mane character) and Titus (her shier) are fighting about her wanting to be human again.

"What's So Wrong?"
ELIZABETH: What's so wrong, about wanting something more?
What's so wrong, about feeling alone?
What's so wrong, about wanting life anew?
TITUS: I'll tell you what's wrong! It's that you're not them!
ELIZABETH: What's so wrong, about wanting a friendly face?
What's so wrong, about wanting to love?
What's so wrong, about lifting your head to laugh?
TITUS: I'll tell you what's wrong! It's that you're not them!
ELIZABETH: What's so wrong, about breathing the dawn's sweet air?
What's so wrong, about felling the breeze?
What's so wrong, about wanting the sun's sweet light?
TITUS: I'll tell you what's wrong! It's that you're not them!
ELIZABETH: And what's so wrong about the flowers?
And what's so wrong about the trees?
And what's so wrong about the blue bird's song?
TITUS: I'll tell you what's wrong! 'cause that's for humans, not you!

*****************************
So that was my first song that I both wrote and composed! How you all like it!
