The Effects of Loneliness

[Vinhou]

Teaser:
Daphne stared out the window. It was getting dark outside.

She wondered what she was doing here, alone in the woods. Not completely alone, of course – she had her beloved dog, Jessie, with her. Jessie looked at her with her dark brown eyes that seemed to look directly into Daphne’s soul.

She sighed and bent down to rub Jessie’s stomach.

She fed her with the small bag of dog food she had brought with her, and continued staring out into the darkness. It was completely silent outside with the exception of a few birds and the wind’s gentle breeze.

She thought back to the day before when she had left the city. She had packed up her things very fast and hadn’t looked back.

She hadn’t brought her cell phone or anything that could trace her; nobody knew she was here, and for now that was a good thing. She had only brought enough food for about a week, and the money she had wouldn’t take her very far. She sighed. She contemplated whether or not this had been the right decision, but she could see no other way out of this. This would do for now. She would face her troubles later when the air had cleared.

For now she would concentrate on herself, Jessie… and of course her devastating secret….

Note: It's been a very long time since I've last posted a story - I suddenly felt inspired so I hope you'll all like it.

Ahh This story is so well written. I can't wait to see where this is gonna go!

Ooohieee! I like it! I'm curious to find out her secret! Hey--this is just a quick question to you, and all other story writers out there reading this-- Do you pre-write your stories before taking pictures, or do you take pictures first and make up a story from that?

Bye xoxo

^ I personally have an idea in mind of what I want to happen, then I take my pictures and write it after that.

And great start Vinhou! Simple, but a nice hint to the tone of the rest of the story.

paintball girly: For me, I leave the game on, write the story, and then go back and take the pictures. I'm not that good of a writer but this works for me.

Thanks for your comments. I hope to be able to post a chapter today. :)

The last story I wrote, I had written almost half the story beforeI started taking pictures. With this one I have the story in mind, and I always have at least one chapter written ahead so that I won't get stressed out. ;)

Eh, it seems I've kinda let this story drift away - I got TS3 and TS2 doesn't work properly anymore, so I'll have to continue this story somehow with TS3 - but that probably won't happen any time soon, so I guess I'll start from the top with TS3 characters - well, without the dog, so... eh... I haven't thought this through, have I?
