Story: 'Explorations' - my first offering

[absynthfairy 10]

Hi guys. This isn't a childrens story - although I was only 18 when I wrote it if that counts!

 

I wrote this short story for my mock english A level exam - haven't a clue where it came from and haven't written another quite like it since. I was accused of cheating in the exam because my teachers couldn't believe I'd written it under timed conditions but I'm just happy my muse was with me that day

 

I'd really appreciate your feedback - often toyed with trying to get it published somewhere....

 

Explorations

 

Thanks

You were only 18 when you wrote THAT?

 

Id do more than try to publish it as a story, that would be good set to music like a song.

 

Loved it, it gave me goosebumps and it takes a lot to give this cynical old fart goosebumps!

[absynthfairy 10]

Ahh thanks - I wasn't expecting such instant feedback! I can't explain it - it literally just came to me...We were just given a bunch of titles and told to write a story....

 

I'd love to do something with it....just don't know what...

[Jabberwocky 46]

Music, for gods sake try to get someone to add music and turn it into a song.

I cant wait to hear other peoples opinions of this.

Ok - well I'm open to ideas, lets hope lots of people read it:)

Beautifully written, and staggeringly well composed. What a wonderful imagination you display in this piece of work. Quite surreal, but yet very poetic in style

[Mantaspook 14]

That is one beautiful, imaginative piece of work.

 

If it ever was set to music as per Jabberwocky’s suggestion the video would only need to be a black and white film of those words etched in granite and a pull zoom to reveal the gravestone at the end.

 

Very poignant, I don’t know how your teachers rated it but I thought it was EXCELLENT.

I can never read these as it always asks for a password !!!

 

How do I get me one ?

[absynthfairy 10]

You have to be a member of the group to get a password - you should PM shoeshine - he's the boss:)
