A short story I wrote a very long time ago so sorry if
it's absolute rubbish I just wanted to share it:
I slowly regain consciousness and the bright colours of the
surrounding world blend to make a rainbow like hue. I rub my eyes
vigourously, watching as everything finally comes into focus. I am
in a clearing, the earth soft and damp under my fingers. I
can't remember how I got here or why I was here, only that
something was terribly wrong. I rock back and forth, angry tears
welling up at the corners of my eyes and fingernails creating deep
grooves in my arms, trying to recall memories that wouldn't
come back. The gentle ruffle of a cloak struck me out of my reverie
and I quickly lift my head, gaze searching for the maker of the
noise. A young girl was stood at the opposite end of the clearing,
a deep velvet cloak shrouding her small figure. I force myself up
into a standing position and the girl takes several steps back
before turning and running away. I glance around, trying to find
the reason she would do this and failing almost immediately.
"It must have been me," I whisper knowing that nobody
could hear me but pleased to here the sound of my own voice. I
check myself over, trying to find something that would have scared
her off. Just as I was about to give up I find what I had been
looking for. A series of small but deep cuts had formed the words
'dead' on my cheek. Sighing I sink back to the ground
and curl up, moisture soaking into my skin. I had finally found the
reason for my passing out but I didn't want to know anymore
because sometimes not knowing is better.
