I don't know if that will work, because everyone's story would turn out basically the same. Also, not everyone like belive in the angel stuff, if that makes sense

[ikaroony]

I've got writers block.

I'm terrible at this, but I tried to make it vague and either sex...

They find a life changing box while running away. What's in this box can never be spoken of to anybody. Target what the character feels about having to keep it secret, and about the contents of the box itself.

I hold the box in my cold hands, wondering what's inside. I found it behind a small cafe, where I slept last night. I am trying to get away from home- my parents are evil, I don't want anything to do with them. Could this be a sign of something? Or maybe it's just a creaky old box that means nothing. I turn it around to the bottom, a small label reads "Use wisely. Open when in need of help. Never let anyone know you have this."
What the heck? What does this mean? I can't think, the icy wind is freezing myself. I stand up from the cold concrete, and walk to the other side of the building. The wind isn't coming this way, the nice brick wall blocks it off. It feels so warm, I take a moment to warm up my hands and I put my long dark hair over my ears. It feels wonderful. Too bad I have to get on the move again, I can't stay at one spot too long.
I pick up my small bag, throw it over my shoulder by the strap and hold the box in my hand. It's almost hard to keep it in my grip, my hands are so frozen.
Later, I find a small alleyway. It looks safe, and it is very warm. I went in slowly, and hid behind a small pile of what looked like construction supplies. I open the box, I need help. I am freezing to death, and don't know how I'll make it through the night. When I look inside the small box, I see nothing. I'm confused, but I start to shake around the box. I don't know why I'm doing it, it's just a habit to do something like that if I can't find something.
Suddenly, a glowing comes from the box. I look at it, interesting. It's almost spitting off an invisible fog. I wonder, is it only visible to me? I bend my knees closer to myself, and set the box in front of myself. I watch as the box glows, and little spots start to appear. Maybe I'm just hallucinating it, there's no way this is real. The glowing starts to hurt my eyes, so I look away for a second.
It doesn't seem to be going away any time soon, and I don't knwo why. Finally, I reach my hand in. I need to know. I jolt my open palm in, hoping to grab something. Instead of hitting the bottom of the box, my arm flails forward. I was now on my si-

I got pretty far, hehe.

I was done. So done with all of this. My feet hurt from walking on the train tracks and my shoulders were throbbing from the backpack holding all of my belongings. I wish it could have been different for us. I wish that I actually loved him, but I don't. I can't control that. He just didn't understand that, so here I am. Gone.
The dark night made it difficult to see. All of the buzzing streets lights were so old and worn that the light might has well be turned off. I couldn't even see the reflection in a puddle. But I somehow managed to keep walking. I didn't know how on earth I was going to make it all the way to California. I didn't have money to buy an actual train ticket, and my survival skills were close to none. I wish there was a better way to travel than train, but nobody had come up with anything else but a horse drawn carriage. I couldn't wait for new inventions.
My foot kicked something hard, startling me. My clumsy nature got the best of me and my hands collided with the gravel between the tracks. I groaned from the sharp pain, then removed all of the rocks. I glanced back at what I had tripped over. A jewelry box? How did this get here? I was in the middle of the woods! I reached for the mysterious wooden box and turned the lock. It allowed me to look inside, but I didn't want to. Air was sucked from my lungs as I saw the contents. One toe. One finger. One eye. And a piece of parchment, rolled and tied with a thread. My eyes sprung hot tears and I gasped for oxygen. The box fell from my trembling hands and my body convulsed in fear. But in the back of my mind, I needed to know what the note said. I sobbed hard and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision. I was shaking hard, but I somehow managed to read the words written on the paper.
It wasn't a long note, but it was enough. I heard a scream, then quickly realized it was mine. These were President Lincoln's parts. These were the President's body parts.
Suddenly a train blew it's whistle, standing my up. Before I could gather my things, i was pulled from the tracks. A hand was placed hard over my mouth and nose as I yelped in surprise and fear. I only cried hard.
"If you tell anybody, I'll kill you," he whispered. "He deserved it. We are going to win. You belong to me now."
I screamed for help but no sound
