How would you react if you found a dead body in the snow…?
…while walking home one night, and there’s nobody around? Plus your phone died, and the harsh winter climate is getting worse. Then you discover that the person is actually still alive, calling to you for help. But once you get closer to him/her, you realize he/she looks like a "monster" (severely deformed perhaps).

Please tell me what your reaction would be.

Thanks!
thanks to all answers…

I know it seems strange that you would walk around alone at night in harsh winter weather, but in this case there is a reason for the protagonist to do so.

Thanks again.
I just needed to know the normal human reaction in a situation like this to make my protagonist’s decisions more believable


I would run home screaming, and never being able to sleep again. (:
Rose | Feb 08, 2010


first i would look in his wallet
=p

just joking

i would get help for the person, of course
Sweet Yum Thing | Feb 08, 2010


I would scream bloody murder, and run to the nearest house to call 911 for the person. Just because they were deformed doesn’t mean they don’t need help.
Buffy | Feb 08, 2010


This is going to sound incredibly nerdy (and possibly pretentious), but seeing as this is the Books and Authors section…

3 quarters of my favorite literary characters are deformed. There are a few people at my school, even, who could be considered so. It doesn’t really bother me to a huge extent; I would probably be caught off guard and scream, but I would get over it eventually and enlist the mighty cell phone to call for help.
Capital R | Feb 08, 2010


ooo writing a story? sounds cool
i wud describe it as stopping dead staring at the body, then when u hear the voice i would fall backwards in surprise…..
Horse luver | Feb 08, 2010


I’d put my coat over him and run to the nearest house (it’s night, so I can tell who’s home – the lights will be on) and call for help from there.

It’s not like there’s anything I could do by staying anyway. I’m not very big, I wouldn’t be able to carry him, and I’m guessing his main problem is cold – he’s calling out so doesn’t need CPR. He needs an ambulance ASAP and that means I have to leave him to go call one.

But, to be honest, I wouldn’t go walking in the snow on my own at night with nobody around and a dead cellphone.
cathrl69 | Feb 08, 2010


I would start to cry, have a panic attack and vomit. And I would have pretty much the same reaction to dead animals (such a birds in the road).
And actually, if I found out the person/thing was still alive, I would be incredibly relieved. Even if the thing was a monster, because at least it is not dead…

But I am a freak who is ridiculously afraid of dead things.
MJH | Feb 08, 2010


man..id pee my pants thats what id do
Blair | Feb 08, 2010


ok, here is my story (ive made up for the record) of the day i found a dead moster in the snow…
i found a dead body in the snow when i was walking home from my school. i go to a high school pretty far from my house but i just felt the need to walk home that day. so im walk and about a third of the way to my house, i saw some black bent up thing. so as im walking closer i think its some sort of twig. When i saw what it was, i didn’t scream (at first) but my heart did like, one loud beat and then it felt like it stopped dead. my eyes felt a bit fuzzy and i started feeling my pulse beat like a drum in my neck. i lean forward and feel a chill go up my spine. as i feel a hot, sweaty-like feeling creep up my face and cheeks, i lean back, letting the cold air cool me off and give me a second of thought. I hard pain begins to grown in my chest as i breath out. I take a second look, breathing heavily. then i notice something odd… is that a… yes… yes it is…. (description of how you want the monster to look). I freeze in my spot and once again feel my neck being choked in hot sweat. I can feel a nervious cry slowly crawl up my throat. suddenly it stops in the dead center and i can feel my lungs clog. i cant breath. the sweat starts to close up around my cheeks and to the bridge of my noes. i have to do something so i attempt to exhale but what comes out is a panicted blood curling scream. my hand slap infront of my eyes as i try to dart away. unfortunetly i trip over my feet and im sent slamming face first onto the icy sidewalk. My right cheek and chin skid across the frozen surface….

u can add to that. i dont want to write this for u so ive tried to put it in a way that you can get the idea but put it into proper sentences.
hope i helped
Good luck :)

do u think u can help me with mine?

Women: Have you ever, when wearing a dress or skirt, stopped and wondered why you did it?
I’m not talking about special events. Just normal, everyday wear. Why wear a skirt or dress instead of pants?


With the type of work I do it is not wise to wear a dress/skirt. I love not wearing them and get a bit huffy when I have to for some occasion or whatever.
Ice 'em | Feb 04, 2010


I never really wore skirts or dresses. Kind of weird considering I have an extremely feminine mum and sister. I personally prefer to wear jeans. So no, I never have wondered.
Kitties | Feb 04, 2010


I actually wear dresses very often because they’re comfortable.

I like being naked all the time, so wearing flow-y dresses is actually the next best thing to me because I don’t feel restricted in them. Plus dresses are feminine and pretty.

Who is going to be deceived by the antichrist?
Obviously the Anti-Christ would represent Christ while resembling him in a deceptive manner. Who do you think will be deceived into thinking he is really Jesus coming to save mankind?

BQ: Do you think Christians would be vulnerable into think that he is indeed Christ?


Zionists.

Jesus said "My Kingdom is not of this world," Jesus didn’t say "Support those who deny me," and John didn’t say "He who denies the Son is greatest race and not the antiChrist" John didn’t say "there is only one antichrist, and he won’t be around ’til much later."

Popular sayings from Jews:

"Jews have rised from the ashes after the Holocaust"
"Our people were led like lamb to the slaughter."
"No deceit is in our mouth" "We’re innocent" "we’re the victims"
"Isaiah 53 applies to Jews"
"Jews are a light unto the nations."

Holocaust – burnt offering.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is in April. What Christian holidays fall in April?

Israeli’s burned New Testaments, banned pamphlets and evangelizing of the Good News, and no Jew who believes in Jesus has the right of return. Atheists, Buddhists, Hindu’s, witches, as long as they have a Jewish mother, they have the right of return as long as they don’t believe in Jesus.

Jews are fighting to get the New Testament censored for being "antisemitic."

Most people. Anyone who is not obedient to scripture, and worshiping YAHUSHUA is on their way to being deceived
hasse_john | Feb 05, 2010


The only people thats going to be deceived by the Antichrist is the ones thats left behind. The Christians that are saved and the ppl thats dead and gone is going to be in the rapture. To be in heaven forever… After that point, theres no changing your mind about God. When the Antichrist reveals himself, All the Christians will be gone.
lovergirl4u | Feb 05, 2010


Most Christians already have been.

Paul was the antiChrist.

BQ: They pretty much already have.
Daniel – AKA Akbar Zeb | Feb 05, 2010


Those who do not know the Lord, knowing Him of course includes having a relationship with Him.
Remember He said to the ones of whom you ask, "I never knew you"
Elihu | Feb 05, 2010


christians who have accepted Christ in their lives and have read the bible, already know who the anti-christ is, and what he will try to do in the end times. People who are not taken in the rapture when Christ returns for his believers, will be the ones left alive to face the anti-christ, and yes, he will deceive many. But, many will also come to know Christ and will come out of the Great Tribulation. Already there are "false Christs" appearing everywhere. Only true christians know how he’s going to return, and the bible is very specific in explaining this. Jesus warns us to not pay attention to any of those "messiahs" which will paint themselves as the true messiah. Already many people are being deceived. The bible prophesied that this would happen.
TasselLady | Feb 05, 2010


I don’t think it is obvious that he will resemble christ. Anti means opposite doesn’t it? He will gain his seat because the common people will be so far away from even believing in such a story that they won’t even realize that he’s the devil’s buddy. Thessol where it says there must bea falling away before that man of perdition be revealed. Luke 18:8 should be read as a dissapointed scowl rom our Lord," when the son of man returns, will He find faith on the earth?"
Godboy | Feb 05, 2010


If Christians will believe the Earth is a few thousand years old, I do not think a racoon in a robe would raise any suspicions.
Q Who? | Feb 05, 2010


A lot of people will be deceived. just remember if you are still in a flesh body the real Christ has not came.
straykat | Feb 05, 2010


"The Devil must kill,you know it gives him the thrill"
I DEIFY YOU. | Feb 05, 2010


Stupid people who actually think the antichrist is real.
Quixotic | Feb 05, 2010


If you read the Bible Carefully, no one will be deceived that the Antichrist is Jesus. The Antichrist will put the world in a living style that will make us slaves to his ways and not Jesus. People out of ignorance and fear of their life will "bow" to his demands. How can anyone think that the Antichrist will be even close to Jesus? When Jesus comes, people will be hiding and wishing that they believed in Him before His arrival. That will be Judgment Day! Jesus does not lie, so why would anyone think that He would come earlier?
How sad it is for people to watch movies & listen to theories, when they can’t listen to the Only Teacher-Jesus! No matter how many PhD someone has, their opinion is worth of a pile of crap in front of the promise of the One they are talking about.
I hope Christians wake up and listen to their only Teacher and forget about the nonsense of the HYPOCRITES!
God Bless
websparrow2000 | Feb 05, 2010


The antichrist isn’t a symbol or a figure of speech. The Bible says he is real, and that shortly before Christ’s return the antichrist will come in a final, desperate attempt by Satan to destroy God’s work. The Bible calls him "the man of lawlessness … (who) will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).

At the same time, the Bible warns us against jumping to conclusions about the identity of the antichrist, or trying to predict when he will come

What does this horrible dream mean? Why did I have it?
Friday after noon I had a small argument with my husband cause of personal issues, and i really hate having them in front of my kids I feel so bad when it does happen and I’m only 14 weeks pregnant so i get pretty jumpy. Saturday 1/23 at around 3-4 in the morning I woke up to the most horrifying nightmare. Me, my husband and our only 2 of 3 kids we have were there in a 2 story building the first floor was just empty kinda scary, but the 2nd floor only had 2 apartments. Me and my husband had a HUGE argument our only neighbors we’re our actual friends in real life he went over to their house and i stood home next thing i knew the house was a complete mess but i never recalled doing it. All of a sudden my friend/neighbor gave me a call invited me somewhere and i said yes so i rushed, i got ready picked the house up a little and served the kids some food in case they got hungry, why? cause i was planning on leaving them ALONE! (How insane!) So i left but i came back sort of pissed and i come in the house and next thing you know i was strangling my son the 2yr old (just typing this gets me freaked out and teary eyed) while listening to my other son a 3 yr old pleading me not to do it, in my head i was just thinking it wasn’t me! I instantly woke up looking around trying to snap out of it, my husband woke up and i bursted in tears hysterically he kept asking what was wrong and i couldn’t speak i was mortified, he only told me that the love of a mother is stronger than anything, he knows I’m not capable of doing such thing I’m just really afraid I pray to God to give me peace in my sleep my husband really wants to go back to church as well because it has us both thinking about that we don’t want it to be any type of warning or anything in common.
About 1 yr ago i had a different dream with my same 2yr old son but it was actually cause our front screen door didn’t work well so i was always concerned it was closed right and twice did my son walk out to play with his toys in the front, i actually did dream that the door was open and he got out and crossed the street, he got ran over by a car and was on the other side the street and i ran over praying it wasn’t him but it was after that i woke up and was also terrified. maybe cause he’s a little more of a hyper active kid who drives me a little more insane than the other 2 I’m not sure.
Please give me your opinions i really wouldn’t like to hear any negativity. Thanks in advance


You mention church so I’m thinking you may be a Christian. Christianity is about faith for sure, a trust, but with love too. This takes a maturity. This isn’t just a head thing, a knowing, but also a heart thing — a willingness to love and commit to God eternally. The most important factors I’m learning are faith, love, peace, hope, friendliness, caring, giving. and meekness, plus obedience. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. Mostly, God is love and He wants us to be love too and become like Jesus Christ, which takes obedience and faith that He can help us succeed to do His will. Our will needs to be yielded to His will. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven. Having Jesus in your life means changing your life to accept His leadership — thus He is your Lord, and not just your Savior. He wants to change us to be more like Him. The more we love God, the more we can commit and be obedient. Spiritual maturity comes as we realize that life isn’t all about us. Most important is loving and helping God and others. I’m Lutheran. Ways to stay on the project are going to church, reading the Bible daily, and daily prayer as needed. Some churches do a weekly Bible study group and these can be a good way to get committed to read the Bible often and keep going. Make some nice friends at church and do things with them too. Don’t isolate yourself at home or be depressed. Think positive, have hope, and don’t focus on negative thoughts. Let God guide you. God bless.

When you are pregnant, it is normal to have really bad, very vivid nightmares. at least that is what my doc told me. I have 2 boys and had bad dreams with both. My problem is that they ( with my already excessive overworrying) started to interfere with my everyday life. Even after the pregnancy ended. I had to go to a therapist who diagnosed me with " irrational thinking " she told me that you have to look at things like this. 90 percent of what you imagine can never possibly happen, 5 of the remaining 10 percent is highly unlikely to happen. So she said I only need to process about 5 percent of what i worry about. the dreams SHOULD quit after the birth. but you should talk to your OB/GYN

Were me and this guy friends?Or aquaintances?
So there was this guy who i liked and had died over a few days ago. Im really sad. He used to skateboard alot.
I would talk to him. Once when as the skateboard came towards me at youth group, i asked what his name was and he told me his. He said his name was "H.D." So a week later i told him mine. He replied "alright" . I would talk to him and he would talk back. However, he seemed kinda quiet around me. He was such a kind sweet soul.
I am a girl and he is a boy. We are the same age.
I had a crush on him but idk he ever had one on me. Cause one time i got alone with him, and he was smiling and looking down and laughing , blushing a little when i told him that i was going to cedar point. He said "sweet". I asked him what his fave ride was at Cedar Point and he said "uhhhhh the Son of beast".
Well sine he died i just wondered if i was his friend. I mean i wasnt close with him, but i hoped he knew who i was and remembered me.
And that i will see him when i die and get to heaven.


i think he will remember you(: RIP HD

IMDB rating: 8.40

Plot: In “Prayers for Bobby,” Mary Griffith is a devout Christian who raises her children with the conservative teachings of the Presbyterian Church. However, when her son Bobby confides to his older brother he may be gay, life changes for the entire family after Mary learns about his secret. While Bobby’s father and siblings slowly come to terms with his homosexuality, Mary believes God can cure him of what she considers his ’sin’ and persuades Bobby to pray harder and seek solace in church activities in hopes of changing him. Desperate for his mother’s approval, Bobby does what is asked of him, but through it all, the church’s apparent disapproval of homosexuality causes him to grow increasingly withdrawn and depressed. Guilty over the pain he is causing Mary, Bobby moves away, yet hopes that some day his mother will accept him. His subsequent depression and self-loathing intensifies as he blames himself for not being the ‘perfect’ son and is driven to suicide. Faced with their tragedy, Mary begins to question her faith when she receives no answers from her pastor concerning her devastating loss. Through her long and emotional journey, Mary slowly reaches out to the gay community and discovers unexpected support from a very unlikely source. The film is based on the 1995 Leroy Aarons book of the same name.

Although both girls long to be break free of the small-town life, Jillian is the first to act, revealing to Sarah that she has been meeting men on-line with the sole purpose of finding someone who will “take her away from this place”. Soon thereafter, she disappears leaving Sarah with only a journal and a cryptic video message sent from her cell-phone. Sarah soon discovers that the town would rather forget that Jillian had ever existed. Distraught, she delves into the secrets surrounding her disappearance. Aided by, Jasper, the resident computer geek who secretly adores her, the two plunge head-long into Goshen’s dark secrets — uncovering corrupt police, jilted boyfriends, a mother driven mad by loss, and an unsolved string of child abductions.

Would you support this political program?
1. Repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Allow gays to serve openly in the military without discrimination. Provide civil unions for both straight and gay couples with all the rights of a married couple.

2. Lowering the voting age, drinking age, and age of consent to 16.

3. Full-blown marijuana legalization. Decriminalizing posession of small quantities of other drugs.

4. Speech is speech. Let’s drop the "Obscene" speech nonsense and let speech be REALLY free, no censorship WHAT-SO-EVER.

5. Slash the whole DEA. Scale back the ATF to a husk of its current self. Earmark all the police appropriations so they don’t go to pursuing victimless crimes.

6. Government-funded college tuition.

7. Immediate repeal of all "sin taxes". Leave people’s personal moral choices alone. The government needs NOT make a stance on morality, society can sort that out by itself.

8. Public option in health care.

9. Repeal of all employment-at-will laws through the use of the commerce clause. Make firing for incompetency straightforward and red-tape-free, but make it hard to fire employees for fighting for higher wages and more benefits.

10. Streamline all of the Administration’s red tape. Cut it as much as it’s humanely possible, and get the redundant government employees either to do something productive or to find work elsewhere.

11. Declaration of a right to privacy.

12. Ensuring no appropriations bill may contain earmarks unsolicited by the receiving department, as a common-sense measure for cutting wasteful spending.

13. Making sure the Government takes control whenever it bails out a company. As a rule of thumb, place failing companies under their workers’ control instead of handing them to other bunch of equally clueless corporate retards.

14. Implementing common-sense gun rights and gun control policies: Cut VIOLENT felons and nuts’ access to guns, and leave everyone else arm himself and tote weapons to its hearts’ content. Instant background check, no waiting period, mandatory shall-issue permits.

15. Gradually phasing out racially-based affirmative action. Keep it in place until we can replace it with income-based affirmative action. Scrap racially-based AA then.

16. Tight nondiscrimination laws to ensure a meritocracy is achieved. No-one’s views or identity should bar them from a job (except if it’s political or religious) as long as they’re able to do it right. On the same token, favor equal work, equal pay initiatives and stay out of unions’ business.

17. Right-to-work laws together with strong protection for the right to unionize. Let multiple unions compete and cooperate freely. Make collective bargainings binding by law, so an employer may not default on what he previously bargained with its workers.

What are your thoughts on it?
Yup, I know it’s uber-liberal, but I’d like a reasoned disagreement if there’s to be one.
You have noticed that the plan in itself includes many wasteful spending cuts.

While the free college tuition and health care would be expensive, no other costly provisions are implemented.

The current tax model would easily acommodate it. With the funds we use to prosecute vice (which we wouldn’t do anymore) we could easily pay the tuitions.

On the other hand, the universal health care would be run as a zero-cost model: You evenly divide costs among all users of the system. Employers would have this non-profiteering alternative as long as it was viable, as would employees, while pushing for legislation that makes medical care cheaper (such as mandatory generics use when patents expire and an overhaul of the torts system)
2) Drinking age 18 then? I wouldn’t push ages of consent HIGHER, and 16 is prevailing, so I’d defen 16 :P
By income-based Affirmative Action I mean favoring people based on socioeconomic status instead of race: Those with a working class background would be helped offset the social networking and funds of the rich guys.


What’s your plan for taxes? Hate to break it to ya, but your plan costs money.
Kaito says it's been too lon | Dec 14, 2009


1) ABSOLUTELY!

2) I wouldn’t go with 16, but 18 would do well to be preserved. If we could get the drinking age down there, it’d be great. At 18, you’re considered a legal adult.

3) Yes, I would. Your body, your choice.

4) I’d like people not to use derogatory names, but that SHOULD be their choice.

5) In going with n umber 3, slashing the DEA makes sense. In regards to the ATF, it would depend on HOW far back. But, yes I could.

6) Yes. Many other countries do it and have greater college graduation rates because of it.

7) The purpose of "sin" taxes is to treat uninsured people for the diseases those items cause (obesity, lung cancer). I’m not a fan, but it’s a necessity. Essentially, this makes them pay for their treatment.

8) Public option? In a heart beat.

9) Hmmm…yes, I could go with that. However, I think incompetency should be proven.

10) Yup – best idea yet.

11) For the love of deities, yes. This one is LONG overdue.

12) Again, another excellent idea.

13) Again, yes.

14) Keep the waiting period in place and I’m on board.

15) I can agree with phasing out AA based on race; what is meant by "income-based"?

16) Yes, for several reasons. You crack down on gender discrimination; also, people should be able to form unions if they so choose.

17) Absolutely.

It may be uber liberal, but they are also filled with common sense.

6. Disagree. Taxes would be way too high
7. Agree
8. Disagree. End health insurer’s anti-trust exemption and let them sell across state lines.
9. Agree with incompetnecy firing but "make it harder to fire for fighting for wages" is too broad
10. Agree but I would go further with cuts than that

14. Agree
15. Disagree. Scrap it all. Income based affirmative action is one of the reasons for the recession.
16. Disagree. Unions are corrupt and not necessary anymore, and if a company wants to discriminate they have that right, and people have the right not to buy there prodducts, and their racist business will fail
17. Disagree. See previous point

You have some good points but overall too much government interference in the free maret.

ok, here’s my ultra conservative reply…funny, we seem to agree on an awful lot….

1) I think there are far more important issues to be addressed first.
2) bad idea, why not make the benefits of citizenship open only to those who have done something to serve society. just giving people benefits because of their age doesn’t make any sense.
3) (&5a) The Dea was formed through the Controlled Substances Act, Which regulates what individual citizens may do, which is a clear violation of federal legislative authority. it should be repealed. The Government should neither deny nor mandate the purchase or sale of ANY goods or services. To do so is in direct contradiction for the reason our federal government was formed.
4) yes, and lets get rid of those laws about ‘illegal communication’ while we’re on the subject.
5b) the ATF, FBI and NSA should be consolidated into one entity with the SS, i mean Homeland Security.
6) think this sounds better than it would be. maybe with certain caveats
7) how about repealing all taxes? our country should be run on tariffs. Because the government has passed so many laws which each incrementally increase the cost of doing business in the US, shouldn’t they apply those same monetary restrictions to providers of foreign goods? When the US was in similar problems in the past, both the Tariff act and the Protective tariff act worked well to help out the citizenry of this country.
8) Medicaid and Medicare already exist as public option health care. the two entities should be collapsed into one, and made available for all citizens-to pay exclusively for emergency and or preventative health care. If you want plastic surgery you can pay for it yourself. Mandating that someone buy insurance will be far less effective than mandating everyone have a medical savings account. after all, if insurance companies paid out more than they took in, they’d go out of business.
9)Will consider this and get back to you.
10) PLEASE, PLEASE let this happen!
11) no contest, absolutely
12) how about any elected official that accepts campaign finances from outside of their constituency is barred from public office for life. Limit the total number of laws acceptable on the books to 100, with no more than 1000 words per law.
13) NO BAILOUTS. if someone fails, let them fail. rewarding people for failure is a sure way to ensure they will do it again. for what happens when the government takes over a business, look at the us postal service and amtrak. the only way to absolutely mess up any business is put the government in charge.
14) The second amendment is very clear. The US government is not empowered to regulate or enact any legislation regarding firearms. no licensing, no checks, no permits.
15) AA is apartheid in america. If it is to exist at all, it should be merit based, not income or race based.
16) Sounds like my idea for the Equality Party. If someone else is entitled to it, so are you, if you aren’t they shouldn’t be. The idea is that on an equal playing field, the cream will rise to the top.
17) sounds good, would need very cautionary wording in the bill to prevent circumvention of the intent.

help!! how can I make this better? any suggestions to word thigs differently?
I am trying to say that the main girl is put under a spell by someone to try and kill her, does it make sense that she was so worried before and that the spell unknowingly put on her makes her not care so much about anything that she doesnt see danger in the fire set out against her by the spell.

any suggestions to try to make it that way or word things better?

Thanks!!

I am looking at the fire and do not really see anything special because my mind is preoccupied with more important issues. Then, I start really looking at the fire. My head tilts slightly to get a better look. The colors are so intriguing almost entrancing. That’s weird, why did I not notice before now what a spectacular show fire blazing could be. The yellow and red are melting into one another to create tie-dye flames. My shoulders ease a little from their tension and I begin to relax. The flames flick out and watching them dance is intoxicating. My mind then slows down and the cloud of worry covering it floats away. Wow, I need to calm down, I am being over dramatic here. I see that the flames grow in length but I am too much in a daze fawning over the them to make the connection that this is bad. The tips of the flames now blacken the mantle surrounding the fire. The urgency that took charge and was so strong before is not present now. I was being so silly, why was I so upset over all this? I giggle a little at my foolishness. Then, I decide I don’t really care all that much now if I tell Velicia her life might be in danger. She will be okay. I just need to calm down and enjoy the fire. She doesn’t concern me at this point. A bubble of laughter escapes from me because the flame stabs at me and it missed. I stand there while the fire licks at me and the carpet. I laugh out loud now as I try to doge the sharp flames. It is a game whether or not it can touch me. I am having so much fun playing even though I am do not do a good job at winning. The fire catches and tags me more than I can avoid it. My attention is drawn to the walls, near the corner of the room where I walk to look at. I look at the waves of flames that travel up as if it was in a race. I am hypnotized and can not help but stare at the spectical that is now crawling towards me. Something in my head is screaming at me to wake up and get away but I just don’t see the harm in whats going on. The fire is blazing at me in the corner that I am standing in and I turn to stare at a curtain of flames behind me that to want to consume me. A mental nudge starts registering that something is amiss. It’s getting warmer in here. In fact it is getting pretty hot. I start to pick up a foul odor coming from somewhere near. The hotness from earlier starts to turn into a dull burn. I realize I can’t breathe very well and the burn is stating to be unbearable. Whats going on? As if a veil is lifted from my brain I fall to my knees from pain and raise my arms to block the angry blazes. MY ARMS!!
My skin on my arms is turning black and are blistering up. I look down at my body as I curl into a ball. The fire is eating my clothes and skin as if it would starve without me. The pain is unbearable and my vision is graying and a haze fills my sight. I pass out with the fire consuming my body.
its part of a story I am writing.. what do you mean what?


Humph, well it’s interesting though, the very first sentence threw me off completely. Try writing this in paragraph form because it’s a little convoluted and hard to read; especially when everything is so accumulated (bunched up).
So about the fire; it good description but i think you need to work on your sentence structuring, and you need to separate the Narrating from what the girl is currently thinking; her thoughts.
Also you might want to make it clearer that the girl is under a spell, because at first i honestly thought she was just crazy.

So keep writing, and maybe try reading it out loud to yourself, to make sure things flow more easily.
