So why was I telling you all this? No idea. I think it had something to do with my situation. I was pointing my gun at the door, my arm shaking as someone pounded viciously on my front door. I was on the ground in a giant t-shirt, half of my body clutching a pillow. My arm was shaking so badly that I doubted I could hit the broad side of a barn if I were inside it. Even silver bullets don’t improve your aim.
It was past midnight and I was scared. Vampires are rarely this persistent, and that’s what I assumed was on the other side of my door. I supposed I could always go answer the door…but I felt much safer six feet away from it and what was on the other side.

About the author
curbxstomp
South Carolina
I am a young writer trying to handle school and writing a novel at the same time. Not as easy as it sounds. College is going to be horrible….
Anyway, elaborating on me. I haven’t always lived in the south, but I love it now that I am here. I love music. I listen to it while I read, write, occasionally in the shower. Yeah. I don’t usually pull inspiration from it in the sense of lyrics and such. The inspiration usually comes from the music and how dark it is, or what part of my brain it hits.
I love writing, so I try to write at least two pages a day. Some days, depending on what’s going on in class, I am usually able to get in 8-10 pages. High school isn’t so bad.
