True Writers Article: What I Took From It, Prologue

posted by flabaloobalah

Genre: Realistic Fiction, Drama/Romance

There was this one summer I spent with my cousins, back when I was fourteen. My little sister, Claire, went to their house with me.
That first day, when we jumped out of the van, we were stunned. The house was this glorious, leaning, peeling, giant 집 on a winding dirt road. The paint was a soft baby blue, something that reminded me of rocking 말 and winter nights. Our Auntie Leila stepped onto the rickety porch and waved and smiled. Cautiously, Claire and I waved and smiled back. Uncle Jeb came to give us hugs. We returned the hugs without complaining.
"You're nearly grown up, Sadie!" Leila sang as she looked me over, fixing the wrinkles in my 치마 and pushing my braids down my back. "And Claire! What a tender sweet young thing, you!" Claire tensed. She was not a tender sweet young thing. Claire was as tough as nails and did not like being a girly girl.
Jeb took our suitcases to the back door as Leila ran us in through the front.
I couldn't remember the last time I was in there. Probably a birthday 또는 maybe Thanksgiving. I could distinctly hear the creaks and thuds as kids our age were running around upstairs.
"Tim! Jess! Makayla! Isaac! Amelia! Joey!" Leila screeched. In that order, all our cousins appeared at the 상단, 맨 위로 of the stairs. Their faces lit up. We hadn't seen each other in a while. They all came rushing down the whining stairs and practically attacked the two of us with chatter and hugs.

CHAPTER 3

I woke up to an extremely bright sun in my face and hot sand in my hair. I must not have been in the sun for long because I hadn't burnt yet. I could hear the sound of human laughter but it felt like it was coming from the inside of my head, all I could smell was smoke from a camp fire. I rolled over and pushed myself up off the sand and I looked around, still trying to figure out what happened. All I remembered was the egg, the flash of colour, and feeling I was falling from...

My Dreams Are Heard (rock song)

posted by hgfan5602

Sometimes I have this feeling
Right here deep in my heart
A feeling that is steady, pounding against my soul
A feeling that I write but can't complete

Oh, I want my dreams and hopes to be heard
I can't hide my feelings any longer
No one's gonna stop me from doing what I want
They will not be pushed aside

Now I'm done believing what 당신 told me about
I have no trust 또는 faith in 당신 anymore
And it's time for me to follow my dreams
To stand tall and scream out my lungs

Listen to me and the story I will tell.....
I was just sitting 의해 the bedside
Staring at the world outside of my home
And it changed my life,...

Not Under Tyranny (rock song)

posted by hgfan5602

I will not be under your tyranny
Your cruel and oppressive force
Yes, maybe 당신 should be my leader
But that doesn't mean I should follow 당신 all the time

Do 당신 know he's got 당신 bound
Under ropes and chains of cruelty
Well, I don't wanna be a follower
If it means I have to be a killer

No, I'm not exactly kind-hearted
But that doesn't mean I have to kill, kill, kill
I don't wanna be just a senseless follower
I have a heart, I have a soul, so I don't follow you

I don't just wanna be a follower
So I don't give a fuck bout what 당신 do, do, do
But I myself will not give in to the tyranny
So you'll watch me leave

No one's gonna stop me
Look, I'm walking out the doors of tyranny
And I'm not gonna be a senseless follower
Ever again in my life.
