Infected: #9

Cloud continued to hide in the darkness of the corner. Ink got up from her chair and showed me what she had written:

“A deadly blade of wind. A shield of diamond. A cruel gun. Wills amongst the broken. Divided useless, united unstoppable. Waiting for a leader.”

“And what about Cloud?” I asked. I felt bad if I just left her there.

Ink turned to the page where and showed me what she had written Cloud:

“Go hide in the darkness of the corner, and await the day our ghost comes back for us.”

“Wait, you’re not coming with me?” I asked.

Ink wrote again in her journal, and I read it to myself:

“The journey is ours. The choice is yours. Bodies are now. Memories were then. Hope is the future. Hearts are forever. A army is nothing without a general. Oppression spawns a savior, the ghost of a life we lost.”

Ink closed her journal. She then wrote, or tried to write, something on me. She then sat in her chair and stared at the wall. Cloud was still hidden. I looked in her direction.

“I’ll be back, I promise you,” I said as I left.

Excelent and original. You really know how to draw your readers in, and that's something that takes skill.
I'm a writer, too. My blog is http://janeopal.blogspot.com/.
I wrote a story last summer entitled Beast(a new verson of Beauty and the Beast where the Beauty IS the Beast). I've also begun writing the prequel this summer, For A Reason.
I've been debating doing the same thing that you are, posting each chapter as I write them. But I want to make sure that I have everything just as I want it first.
If you think that you'd be interested in reading, I might consider setting up a blog just for each story.

In the mean time, keep writing! I'm loving the story. I keep thinking of some of Hitler's twisted experiments times ten thousand and resulting in a new League of Superheroes.

Well, that's all of the encouragement I need. lol.
I actually would like to get Beast and For A Reason published...But I'm starting to wonder if it will ever really happen or not.
I'm not into writing for the money or fame...I just want to write because it's something that I enjoy doing and because I want to share my stories with other people.
So, thanks. I'll start to set up a blog for Beast. I'm pretty much done revising it anyway. I'll let you know when it's up and running.
