Gimme a phrase, I'll write you a story!

Post by BexOalen »

In order to practice my writing, I want people to give me any of the following:

-- a word
-- a phrase
-- a song

that they want me to write a story about, and I will do so. Don't tell me anything about plot/characters/etc, because I'll ignore it and just use the words.

Thats pretty much it. I'm fine with explicit songs, by the way. And I do have a place to listen for free (legally, I swear!!) so don't worry about whether or not I'll know it.

With that said, let the words and phrases and such flow!

Forgiven, Within Temptation. It's quite famous, you'll have no problems finding it. But I love the lyrics <3

Shortness is short. I really liked the idea, though it's kinda cliche. I dun like how this turned out though...
Spoiler
It happens today, and I am not ready. I look at him, but then I must look away. So long I tried to hide him from his destiny, but today he no longer looks like my son. Today he wears the robes of my husband. I have to close my eye to keep from crying. Where did those years of his youth go? He is only 15, I want to scream, but it will change nothing.

I feel a single tear on my cheek and lift a single, gloved finger to it. I walk up to him and adjust the cloak around his shoulders. He only stares at me, and this makes me so much sadder. I turn, skirts shifting around my feet.

It is time.

I glide down the steps and stare straight ahead as I am led to my carriage. Everything is happening too fast, and suddenly I am lost. I hear the door close and feel the carriage moving beneath me. And suddenly I am weeping; my tears are flowing rapidly.

And then, suddenly, the carriage stops. Getting out, I look around, look at the stones sticking out of the ground. Once more, I cry. I do not even know when it happened, only that it did.

But I must cry no more. I must be strong for them both.

I watch him come out of his carriage, barely glancing at me. But I am now resigned to this fact, and while I am saddened, I will not cry. I swear this to myself as I join the procession of people marching to the spot where the ceremony will commence.

And then I watch, as they lower it into the ground. As the one I loved vanishes from my sight for the last time. I look over at him, and he looks emotionless, and suddenly I want to slap him. This is his father, yet he seems to not care at all.

He catches my eye and nods at me, the only sign I have that he still cares. And then he turns on his heel and walks away.

My son, forced to become the king all too soon.

You may beat me up, but you're going to need to bleed to do it.
