Sample of writing:
I didn't know what made me do such a terribly foolish thing.
I had gotten out of my house at five o' clock, ready to go walk around town and get home in time for dinner- at seven. Then I had, as usual, spent my time wandering around aimlessly, staring at the shop windows, people-watching, looking at the clouds...
And then I had to find the forest, hidden so cleverly behind the departmental store with only one path leading into it. I just had to give in to the temptation of going in. I had to go in, look around in wonder, follow more paths and then get lost. Lost right smack in the midst of trees, trees and more towering trees. I tried getting out, but all I did was see the same set of trees over and over and over again- and scrape my elbow quite painfully against a sharp twig in the process. After countless times of trying in vain to find my way, I was still lost and my faulty sense of direction wasn't helping at all. The fact that I had left home forgetting to bring anything with me- no handphone, no watch, no waterbottle, only made it worse.
And then it had to get dark.
I felt my legs going to jelly below me as I collapsed, weary and frightened. I sat awkwardly on the ground, the soil beneath me suddenly seeming cold as ice as I felt a shiver go up my spine. I hated to admit it because of how childish and silly it was, but I was absolutely terrified of being alone in the dark. Today happened to be one of those terrible days when nightfall seemed, literally, to fall on the sky. It had turned dark in an instant and I had gone from nearly giving up hope of ever finding my way out to being unable to continue because of how helplessly afraid I was.
Suddenly, I heard a soft whisper coming from behind me. It was calling my name... it was getting louder and louder and louder! In the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow flit past. It was coming to get me, it was, it was!
"Please go away, please go away, please go away, please go away, please go away..." I shut my eyes tight, cupping my hands over my ears as my head rested on my knees. My elbow throbbed painfully but I didn't even dare to check if it was bleeding. I didn't know what I was pleading for or what was coming to get me or what anything was anymore. I just wanted to be home, anywhere but in the darkness, even in the light and lost would be okay. All I knew was that I was probably imagining everything but I just couldn't help it, couldn't think of anything but not to scream for fear the thing would get impulsive and devour me right away. All I felt now was fear, sheer fear and fatigue.
I felt tears brimming in my eyes and I bit my lip at once, internally slapping myself for being so weak. But it didn't help- the tears flowed down as I sobbed, still chanting my plea in a half-shout.
Any semi-lit/lit RPs you have: None yet. But I might make one in the future. :3
