- - - NEW STORY! - - -

I'm so happy! I finally thought of a new story, and one that I can keep! I can't believe I've never thought of it - the idea's been in my head for ages. But it never really surfaced. Well, now it has. Here's the zero-times-edited, subject-to-change beginning.

It was a cold, crisp, clear day. The whole world looked like a perfect autumn picture, leaves lining the ground in almost every fall colour, a crisp wind stirring through the partially bare and looming trees. At the moment, it didn’t look at all scary. Now, when I think of it, I’m terrified. Maybe that’s because of what happened just after, or just something I missed. I was preoccupied, trying to capture my escaped cat as I struggled to understand what had happened on the math test I’d had previously. Now, things like math tests seem trivial.

Very, very trivial. Back then, I was so different. A grade below B and I’d cry my heart out. The faintest wisp of gossip, and I was drawn to the source like a fly to honey. Now, I know worse, and because of that, I’ve been changed forever.

But back in the forest on that perfect, autumn day, I’d just spied my cat hiding in a prickly bush of thorns. Now, I thought, was the time to get out those cat treats. I brought them out of my pocket and shook the tin, opening it and setting a few of the smelly fish-and-beef biscuits on my hand.

“Bailey… come her Bailey… want some treats?” I asked her, “Well you gotta come here.” I knew my cat couldn’t understand a single word I said - except maybe ‘treats’, but nonetheless, she came bounding towards me. I reached out to grab her, just half a meter away from me.

As soon as my hands touched her soft furry coat, a harsh, metallic clang filled my head, and I screamed as I realized the cold, leaf-covered ground was fading away, I, falling right through it.


Please say your opinion! :D thanks.
