Fly by post

I finished the weird story. I went on about 1k more though I think I will be able to trim those words in my edit.

As I wrapped that story up I realized where it fits in the grande scheme of all of my projects. Of course it is set in a world in which I have all ready written. I can't have a stand-alone to save my life.


Anyways, have a snip....

She sits at a table in the corner. Alone. She faces the window, hopes to glimpse the one she is waiting for. A pale madonna, taking long hard drags on her cigarette. The smoke curls from the lit end up towards the ceiling. Towards a Heaven that no longer exists. She exhales. Her lipstick catches my eye. Red. Bright red. Like life blood. I wonder if her lips taste as sweet as they appear.

She pushes her hair back behind her ear and I can see her neck now, pale skin, almost translucent. Her veins call to me. It would be nothing to call her over, to breathe in her scent. To take. Just a small sip.

Thunk! In front of me is the cup of canned blood I ordered. I look up at the Bartender. His name is lost in a fog of memories. He is the Bartender. He glares at me.

"No hunting in my bar, Jacob."


Good night lj.

Had you wanted to beta it?

I'd definitely be interested in betaing it, although I'm not sure if I could depending on how soon you wanted it back. I'm super busy for the next couple of weeks. What sort of time frame were you thinking of?
