Hi There

I've posted all of what I've written so far at once, which was probably not the best idea, but I didn't want to get confused later on, which has been known to happen. If you want to read something of mine, I would request that your start with "Pulled Through" and give it a good critiquing before moving on to the rest, since "Pulled Though" was the only one I ever intended to post anyway. Whatever.

Here you will find almost everything I have ever written that qualifies as either decent or mediocre, in the hopes that someone will help me improve. I've left out the really nasty stuff, which leaves depressingly little, but no matter. It's mostly poetry, because that comes easily to me, but "Pulled Through" is really the important one. So feel free to comment or critique anything that looks like it needs it, I appreciate the time taken.

Night Storm by sTrive reviews
An exploration of emotions and memories awakened while watching the summer thunderstorm shake the roses in my grandmother's garden. Enjoy.

Werewolf reviews
Sadness and stress make us all do stupid things. The only question is whether to be the victim or the aggressor. Reminds me of werewolves. But then, so do I.

There is a kind of predator that eats fireflies. Each species of firefly blinks a certain code to find a mate. The mate will flash the same code. The predator knows all the codes, and the male fireflies come down to meet it, and get eaten.

Swift Autimn Sunsets
Based on a comment a friend of mine made. Me: "Why do you put up with me?" Him: "You're interesting." Me: "So you'll get bored of me once you figure me out?" Him: "No, every time I figure you out, you change again."

Young Artist reviews
I wrote this while watching a friend of mine work on a pastel drawing. It's sort of a comparison between our two arts. He works with color and pattern, and I with words, and each of us takes a colorless piece of paper and brings it to life.

Sort of a Freudian nightmare. Another story based on a dream, by far the better of the two. Please CC.

Portrait
A story based on a nightmare a guy friend of mine had. I'm not so sure about the last two paragraphs. Originally, the story ended with the 3rd to last paragraph, but I realized that what happened in his dream was scarier, so I added it. Please CC.

Pulled Through reviews
This is the reason I started a FictionPress account. I appreciate any and all comments and especially critiques. It's a story for a younger audience, maybe Middleschool aged. A girl gets pulled through to a different world, what she finds there.

The Mountain Queen
A very very short, which I wrote on a small mountain on an island in Venezuela. It was dusk, and a bit spooky, and this rather humorous character popped into my head, so I sat on a rock and wrote her. It makes me almost wonder if she was there...

This doesn't work well as poetry or as prose, but I quite like it as both. It's also the closest I've come to actually describing what love feels like for me.

I'm a miserable failure at writing happy poetry. It is my belief that happiness and love and the like are too pure to be described in words, but that's likely just an excuse. However, I do try sometimes, and this is one of those attempts.
