WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a scene where a character is experiencing either rage or grief.
Try to describe not just annoyance or sadness, but the full force of rage or grief. How do people realistically act when they are experiencing these emotions?
Nothing Done
Nothing.
My eyes are still filled with tears, my thoughts are still full of hurt, but I feel nothing.
The tears refuse to fall, though I know they should, so I sit in the kitchen, watching the candles burn.
There’s one for every family death that’s happened on this day, plus Oscar Wilde’s. One for Lyall , from last year, one for Fang, and several more that I’m not sure I could name if I tried.
I know he was only a cat, but I still loved him, he was still part of the family, and I should be feeling things.
But every time I try to cry, my emotions stop in their tracks.
I have plenty of reason, death and depression, circumstance and pie, but I still feel nothing when I need to.
When I got the news that my cat died, all I wanted to do was laugh, and I’m really not sure why. Who the fuck laughs?
I guess this is just more proof that I’m broken, another thing to add to the fucking list.
No.
You know what? I’m done.
I am fucking done with this brain, with this fucking brain that I’ve been given.
I’ve been dealt a Hell of a hand, and I’m ready to either fold or kill the dealer.
And the latter is looking pretty fucking good right now.
I don’t care how unreasonable it is, I am done feeling broken and miserable, and I am done hurting other people, and I am even more fucking done with whoever the fuck is looking down on me and watching.
I am done with whatever god decided to take that amazing fucking woman out of this world before she really had a chance to get started.
I am done with whoever decided that cat had lived long enough, had had enough fucking happiness, and stopped enough panic attacks.
Shit, I broke the lighter.
Guess I better go swing around a foil and listen to metal until I don’t want to murder every fucking being who much as looks at me.
