    Well this is my first time letting other people read some fiction that I have written so apreciate all comments good and bad! Sarah shot bolt upright in bed, this was the fourth night in a row she had been woken up by her teenage daughter Katie screaming in her sleep. Sarah got out of bed and hurried down the hall to her daughter's room. "No, please stop, leave me alone, someone help me, please please SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!" The screams were getting louder as Sarah sprinted into the room. Pulling Katie into her arms she comforted the slowly waking girl, "Sshhh it's all ok, it's over they can't ... more

    5 Stars The Good, the Bad, and the Crispy Review with images 18/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's fun to make fun of George Bush

    Disadvantages Disadvantages He could sue me or something...

    This is a satirical piece that I have written for my English coursework, and I felt I would share it with you, since I know that so many of you must enjoy a good laugh at George Bush. I hope you like it... Cast your mind back to the January of 2002, and what do you remember? Monumental events that shook the world? Or perhaps President George W Bush choking on that most difficult of snacks to swallow, a small, crispy pretzel? After being omitted to hospital as he might say himself, he luckily recoverfied from this near-fatal apostrophe, and continuated his job with the all wisdom and clarity of ... more

    5 Stars Sweetest Perfection 19/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I got an A* for this

    Disadvantages Disadvantages This is quite long (it was 9 short chapters)

    I entered this as coursework at school - it would have gotten full marks if it hadn't been 9000 words over the limit. Be warned, this story deals with homosexuality (no flamers please). This was originally a band fic, but you don't have to read it with that in mind. Sweetest Perfection What a night. A triumphant return by all means. The funny thing about the scene is that you make friends only so that you can crush them more successfully. The whole thing is a battle to stub out as many others as possible, and with as much experience as I have, it’s been a while since I was even challenged. I ... more

    5 Stars Swan Love - A 17 Year Love Story Review with images 08/04/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The truth behind Dempseys Swan encounters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages He is a danger to anyone.

    Swan Love is a tale of love spanning 17 years. This piece has one slightly adult section set during 2002 as a result I would suggest the reading of this is for adults only. After recently realising the vision that Dempsey has of me I felt it only fair to let you all know the truth about him. A swan can live for up to 30 years though a normal lifespan for a swan is just 12 years. Delia's passion for love kept her alive for 20 years. Delia knew from the moment that she was born that she would only ever have one lover; as a child she fantasized about the man for her. She was socially deemed as an ... more

    5 Stars The beach 06/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages My first attempt at a story since school

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I hope it works

    I lie on my perfect beach staring at an unblemished blue sky unmarked by cloud or plane. The only sound I hear as I close my eyes is the crash of the surf as it hits the coral reef that guards my island paradise before gently lapping the beach at my feet. A slight breeze arises to caress my face before continuing its journey rustling the palm trees that stand as sentries along the edge of my beach, onwards and once more flowing out to sea. Another gust follows the first; it is a cooling respite from the fierce sun that beats down upon me causing me to squint as I raise my head to survey my ... more

    3 Stars Snowed In (review 150) 30/01/2013

    Advantages Advantages Thoughtful piece of writing about what living alone can be like

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's a bit dull

    When I reached review 100, I wrote about my experience in a bout of snow. So this time, I will try my hand at something fictional. Enjoy. ----------------------------------------​----------------------------------------​---------------------------------------- Snowed In The New Year had barely settled in when the snow storms came. Warning after warning had been broadcast, until people were convinced it would never really happen. Now Lucy leaned against the glass, staring out at the bitter cold. She could feel it seeping through the window, a small draft of cold air brushing against her face. She ... more

    From the moment he entered the bedroom she could tell he was horribly drunk. The unstable but arrogant swagger, the stupid grin making his handsome face look dissolute, the wave of fumes that hit her as he weaved his way past the bed. She’d been worried sick ever since he’d stormed out earlier that evening. He’d been spoiling for a fight but she wouldn’t give him one, so he’d driven off in a huff. Hours later he was back, roaring drunk, swearing and falling over as he struggled to get out of his jeans. “Where have you been, I was worried,” she said, trying to sound concerned rather than ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    The escape Faster, faster I run. Never looking behind, there on to me! "Get that skum". Cold air draining my energy. Braches ripping my face, but that what spot me, not from them anyway. Through the cold, crystal river. I'm on a roll, but then I fall, fall hard and strong. Down I go, never to see light again. I try to get up, it's to late they have me I'm doomed. A bat comes down on my face. Now in here in a grooty little cage waiting to die. So before I die I will tell you my story. My life was simple, no compunctions. My dad was a farmer and my mum was a clothes washer. Its 1941 September 17 ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not everyones cup of tea

    The heat of the sun bearing down upon her back warmed her as she lay basking in its rays. As her toes raked the sand she thought back to the golden hair that had flowed through her finger tips. It had been a wonderful day. ***** On what should have been Laura’s last day teaching, what she often described as a hoard of delinquents, Laura actually found herself committing to yet another years contractual teaching nightmare and all on a spur of the moment whim. She had scarcely believed her own voice when it rasped “ I have decided to renew my contract for a further 12 month, it will be valuable ... more
