Hi, I've just posted chapter two of The Gilded Vampire and here's a link - http://www.short-fiction.co.uk/newstories/show_story.php?story_id=8953 - It's one of my most popular short stories so I hope chapter two is well received. P.S. Here's a link to the first chapter of my unpublished novel Goth By Chance (70,000 words) http://www.short-fiction.co.uk/newstories/show_story.php?story_id=5459 which is on the same site as The Gilded Vampire. As I'm always saying, the initial chapters of Goth By Chance aren't all that Gothic but believe me, by chapter seven it fits the genre perfectly (Gothic architectural setting, supernatural events, psychological trauma, et cetera). » Richard Ridley's blog Fix Me - a novel (chapter 6) Submitted by YourMidnightOwl on Tue, 02/08/2011 - 21:28. She watched in peaceful fascination as another July sun rose to disintegrate the darkness that permitted her to see the stars. Saying a final goodbye to her seemingly tiny friends of the night, she greeted the birds on that summer morning with a tinge of envy of their freedom. A red breasted grosbeak landed on her windowsill. She stroked the glass gently wit the back of her index finger, wishing she could pet the beautiful creature. It turned its head to look at her and chirped; she smiled. It cocked its head at her; she did the same. She and the gorgeous bird played their game of mirroring for a few minutes more, before the bird took off, probably to find breakfast for himself or his chicks. She sighed and left the window, lying on the bed, arms behind her head, staring aimlessly at the white ceiling. By this time she had figured out the hospital. Not succumbed, not given up, but figured out what it would take to be released at eighteen. After a week of verbally researching the progression of minors that went on to be released, along with planning, she finally put her plan into action three days ago. They had managed to give her the mystery regulation medicine, which she had to maintain so much self control to allow, and today she was starting one-one-one sessions with a Doctor Dike (pronounced "dee-kay," mind you). In her opinion, fooling these people would not require too much effort, but she kept her acting at top notch nonetheless. Once she had pretended to take her morning meds – the hospital wanted her to take “chill pills” until they felt she had enough control over her anger and violent tendencies – she asked to go to the library and use the computer. She logged in to her e-mail and at first had nothing, but a new message appeared in her inbox a minute later. Smiling, she opened Nate’s e-mail. » YourMidnightOwl's blog Read more Fix Me - a novel (chapter 5) Submitted by YourMidnightOwl on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 20:59. "Pastrana," Cillian called, "Pastrana." Jared's head snapped up. "Yeah?" "You okay, kid?" Morgan asked. "Yeah," he rubbed his face, "I'm sorry, I uhm, had trouble sleeping last night." "It's fine," Cillian said, "AJ, continue." After the case meeting, Cillian found Jared again. "Are you sure you're alright?" he asked. "Really, Cillian," Jared assured, "I'm fine, I just didn't get much." His boss gave him a sideways glance. "Even with no sleep at all you've never had difficultly paying attention during a case overview. What's bothering you?" He sighed. "It's Tak... uhm, Victoria Barrows. I know it's been two weeks since her hospitalization, I know we have new cases and new families that need us, but I just can't get her off my mind." "Her case took a toll on all of us," Cillian said, "a fifteen-year-old capable of murdering eight people? It's not easy on you; this job never is." "It's not just that," Jared shook his head, "I don't really know what it is. I just had a strange feeling bringing her to that place, and leaving her there felt wrong, not right. The way she looked at me when I left... Normally I feel good when they make it to the hospital, but I keep feeling like it's somehow going to hurt her more than help her. How can getting her into a hospital feel like it was a mistake?" "If you need to take a few days, Pastrana, it's alright. Clear your head; if you're here though we need your undivided attention." He sighed. "Maybe... Maybe a day or two would be necessary." "Alright, it's no problem." Cillian smiled and patted his partner's shoulder. Jared smiled weakly and turned to walk away. "Jared," his boss called; he turned around. "Be careful who you get attached to," he warned calmly. He nodded, turned to keep walking, and entered the elevator. ~ » YourMidnightOwl's blog Read more Fix Me - a novel (chapter 4) Submitted by YourMidnightOwl on Tue, 02/01/2011 - 19:52. » YourMidnightOwl's blog Fix Me - a novel (chapter 3) Submitted by YourMidnightOwl on Mon, 01/31/2011 - 23:09. » YourMidnightOwl's blog dont give in.
