a short story by me

[Golge]

so I'm not really sure what this is but i wrote it today, the writing is crude, the story doesn't make much sense, it confused even myself, it doesn't even have a name, but, i don't know, i suppose ill share it with you all and see what you think.



Darkness, there is only darkness, it surrounds me, chokes me, it IS me. I'm alone here, yet I don't know where here even is. My body screams for water, yet there is none to be found. I've been walking for what seems like days, yet so little time has passed.

As I walk, I ask myself, “what did i do to deserve this” but I already know the answer. And then I hear it, very distant, ‘drip, drip....drip’  Water, precious water! As I run towards my salvation, it seems to get farther and farther away, my body weakens, I collapse on the ground, exhausted.

Hours pass, it grows cold, my stomach growls, I am parched, and the darkness is ever present. Suddenly, more noise, scratching on the ground, getting closer, closer, something else is here too. Fear grips my heart, I stand up, the sound gets faster, I begin to run, the scratching turns to a growling, then I hear it run as well.
 
It seems like forever I've been running, I can't go much longer, the growling is catching up, I can only imagine what it may be, images of long fangs, sharp claws, breath reeking of flesh, and this pushes me on.

But the inevitable happens, I can run no further, falling to the ground, I brace myself, waiting for the fangs to sink in, the claws to rip me apart, to smell that awful breath. But then, I feel, wetness, I open my eyes, there is my dog, sitting on my chest, licking my face, I look around me, I'm in my room, in bed, the sheets are strewn about the room.

It was a dream, I sigh, get out of bed, give my dog some water, then I head back to my room, get into bed, pull the covers up tight, close my eyes, and let darkness take me again...

Fin.


ya that's it, not very good, but then again I don't write that many stories, I hope you guys like it regardless, maybe some feedback would be appreciated

I hope for your sake that this isn't the mood of all your stories. =s

But; It is real good for a short, even if confusing. And for a first, especially great.
