This is only part of the next chapter, I am posting it in order to get the opinions and suggestions of others on this board. Remember: this is just part of the next chapter and is a draft.



A desert, or to be more precise, a Wasteland, lies ahead. through the middle of it is a long cracked, weed filled, two lane road. It's lines faded to a pale shade of what they once were. This road streaches to the horizon. In the center of the road sits a woman. She is kneeling above a child. The child's shirt is covered in redness and the ground beneath him is red.


Woman: (sobbing)

In the distance noises are heard, they are voices, and distinctly masculine at that. A few minutes pass and the voices can still be heard, along with a mettalic grumble. A few more minutes pass, then a shot is heard. The woman falls to the ground on top of the child with a dull thud and blood starts to seep out onto to the road around her. The voices get closer.

I am walking down a long road, it is weed filled and paled with age, but it still is the quickest way to walk. I just have realized that I was humming a tune, "Mine eyes have seen the glory, of the coming of the lord." I look around and think to myself humoressly,

-this is the glory of the lord?, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps....

I suddenly come upon a corpse in the road.

-hmmm, interesting, I wonder how he died, or is it a she, I can’t tell…..
--god, that is creepy, I think I am going to be sick, my god how disgusting, how sad…how
-hunh… it doesn’t look that old, must have been killed a few days ago…
--who could do such a thing. I mean, that’s inhuman, that’s…that’s…disgusting, my god.

I want to throw up and at the same time stay and examine the corpse.


thats the end of the draft for now, please give suggestions and opinions of it.

That is really good. Are you going for just a story now, or are you going to continue the journal entry thingy? Personally, I liked the journal entry thingy, because all the other stories are just that, stories. They are all first-person limited, or third-person limited. You could either continue with the journals, or maybe go the way you did with this one, first-person open.
