Isabelle - Chapter V

Chapter 5 Isabelle's mind was covered by a fog. Slowly, however, voices and sounds broke through the fog. "Is she alright?" "She really needs a doctor." "Are there any doctor's on board?" "Miss? Can you hear me?" "Why isn't she waking up? Goodness, to cause such a scene..." Opening her eyes, Isabelle's vision swam before coming into focus. She could see the man she had spoken to standing over her with concern, and a couple of females peering at her as if she was an unknown specimen. She realized she was lying on a bed, and her brow furrowed. She had fainted, she guessed correctly. Why? She searched her mind and slowly it came back to

Isabelle - Chapter I

Chapter One Early April, 1875; Virginia Countryside. Walking to the fireplace in the cozy one-storied cabin, nineteen year old Isabelle Benson stirred the broth cooking in the pot over the fire. She hummed to herself, took the pot off the rack and walked over to the kitchen table. Pouring the broth into her bowl, she sat down and took a spoonful of the deer-flavoured broth. It was still too hot to eat, so while she waited

Isabelle - Prologue

Isabelle Prologue Summer, 1864; Meadow Oaks, eastern America. The wind was blowing strongly, sending the aroma of freshly-baked bread floating along with it. Out on a bluff over-looking the small village below, sat a young, eight year old girl. She was holding a notebook on her lap, drawing sketches of the view. Her name was Isabelle Benson, though she preferred to be called Belle. She looked up from her page then, taking another look at the scenery. Her dark chocolate brown eyes were almost black and one could easily get lost in their depths. Her long, flowing mane of very light brown hair was cascading down her back, reaching

Approaching Storm

It's a crisp Autumn evening. I am sitting on my porch, over-looking the ocean. The ocean and deep blue sky seem to mould together as one, making the horizon line look non-existent. The large trees in my yard are bursting with brilliant shades of gold, rich chocolate browns, crimsons and soft oranges. The air smells of these leaves. In the distance, large, grey clouds are hanging heavily in the darkening sky. I can see a bright light from those clouds. A lightning bolt. Following it, I hear a rumble. Thunder, and it's coming in this direction. The light Autumn breeze that was here earlier is slowly becoming stronger. Vibrant leaves are dan

Nightmares

The black shadow ran after her, taking on different shapes and forms. She ran on, breathing heavily. When she glanced back, she didn't see anything, but didn't stop. She knew better than to do that. At first she'd thought it was only a dream, but had quickly felt it wasn't. Then she thought, if she didn't see t anymore, it was gone. But she was wrong. "Stop!" A distorted voice called, but it made her run faster. She had to reach the clearing. She didn't know why, but she instinctively felt it wouldn't follow her there, to her favourite spot. She tripped, landing on the ground heavily. She could hear shallow breathing behind her and she da

Revenge Part III by Aspiring-writer16, literature

Revenge Part III

I could, of course, go in and tell her what I think of her and demand my money. I am, after all, the man and therefore have some authority, right? Right now, though, I'm feeling like a child who can't face his mother after he did something wrong. A man screams. The third one. Only two left, not including Jones. I can still be hopeful that I'll get my money. If Jones dies on his own, not murdered by Shirley, I can forget about eating for the next several months. What was that? I jump when I hear a rustling in the bushes off to my right. Rats? Possibly. Oh, I hate rats, but it'd be better than the coppers! "Freeze!" A loud male voice ord

Writing Prompt 101 - Character by pendragonvamp, literature

Literature

Writing Prompt 101 - Character

Writing Prompt 101 Character Creation – Note: Many people have asked how I come up with my characters so I figured I would share what I do. This is just an outline and know that you don’t have to fill out any and all. It’s a guideline. Also note, that though you answer these questions not everything should be included or expected in your writing. This is so you can know your characters intimately and how they would react but not everyone else needs to know some things. Basic Information is key to the first vital step Name: (normal, foreign, alien…etc) Age: (2 years, 1000, immortal…etc) Gender: (female, male,

The Lost Heart

The wind was howling eerily as I rode the well-used path along the jagged cliffs. Below me, the waves were crashing madly onto the shore. Rain was pelting heavily to the ground around me, my wet sandy blond hair clung stickily to my head, but I still rode on, as one who cannot rest until his mission is fulfilled. Then, suddenly, the world didn't seem as dark as it had; the wind seemed to cease; the only sounds not the waves, but a sound as if a joyous chorus had broken out into wonderful, magical song! The rain appeared to stop, too, and the sun broke through the dark clouds; I had made it; my mission could soon be fulfilled. Before me loom

My Bio

I am a German Canadian who has lived in B.C., Canada for about thirteen years.

I don't know a time when I wasn't writing something, even though I only recently decided that I want to write for a living.

I am a sarcastic cynic who has a bad temper. Seriously, don't get on my bad side, it ain't pretty.

Despite that, I'm pretty happy most of the time, especially when I'm writing.

I adore my pet snails, but my dog Cubby Bear is my life and best friend.

Current Residence: Somewhere in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
Favourite genre of music: Classical, early rock 'n' roll, 50s/60s/70s pop.
Favourite style of art: Realism
Operating System: Windows XP
Shell of choice: Conch all the way (I currently own a queen conch, and another one)
Skin of choice: My own.
Favourite cartoon character: Archie
Personal Quote: Writing is in my bones; without it, I'd be lost.

Favourite Movies

North By Northwest (my most favourite movie), The Glass Bottom Boat, any and all Cary Grant movies.

Favourite Bands / Musical Artists

Elvis Presley, Journey, Brian Adams, Survivor

Favourite Books

Outlander series, Anne of Green Gables, Emma

Favourite Writers

My Improvements

0 min read

WaterandSnails (https://www.deviantart.com/waterandsnails) did this in her journal, and asked others to do the same. So, here is my improvement story. While I haven't put up most of my older stuff (mostly because I don't want to copy lengthy stories from my notebooks onto the web), I do have a few older things up from late last year that I wrote, when I was just starting to focus more seriously on writing. Isabelle - Prologue   Chapter I   Chapter II   Chapter III   Chapter IV   Chapter V The above is my first "novel", Isabelle. Pretty bad, I'd say. I've learned a lot since then, in both the form of writing, and about writing novels. I was pleased with this when I fir

Night Scares, Bug Bites, and the Crazy Weather

0 min read

Right now, I am very tired because last night I got woken up by this really loud noise on the balcony, which just happens to be above my bedroom window. It sounded like someone was on the railing and jumped down, but then there was silence. I couldn't fall back asleep for some time. I have no idea what made the sound, but it freaked me out. On top of that, I have two very large bug bites on my foot, making it difficult to walk. Plus, I have a few more, smaller, bites on my back, which become itchy if I lean against something. :shakefist: Thankfully, the two on my foot are smaller than they were at first, I can even put my shoes on without ha

Petition to save the dogs in South Korea

0 min read

I know this is already posted in the Sky-Club group, but I felt the need to post this anyway just in case someone isn't aware. If you go here: http://www.uniteddogs.com/stopkillingdogs/#signform it explains what this petition is for and allows you to sign it. Once 1 million signatures are obtained, the petition can be presented to the Korean officials. In brief, many dogs are killed in South Korea for their meat and, while there is a ban, nothing is being done to enforce this. If you love dogs, please consider signing!
