2. Chapter One
Aliah Thompson stares far above the stars, her mind haunting the thoughts behind those open blue eyes next to her long golden blonde hair. She lets few tears roll down her cheeks as she stares at the sky. She wants to die, has thought this way since she was twelve. She is now fifteen and often not at school, many wonder why. She never lets a word slip out her mouth around people. She only speaks alone but she speaks to the sky, speaks words of her heart; lets all her thoughts release themselves.
'Alone sky, distant sky, listen to the words I speak. Join you I shall and once I welcome myself to you let the flames burn like a thousand meteorites hitting the earth. Let them burn.' She loudly speaks to the above, knife in hand. She lets it scar her wrist, only a wince appears before she goes inside.
'Soon... Soon...' She whispers to herself. 'I will be in the right place.'
Well done, I've enjoyed this so far. You always create such a vivid and fantastic setting for the reader. I would say that it's one of your strong points and it something that I pick up on when I read your remarkable movellas. You are awesome, dudette. :D
The voice that comes out here is certainly menacing, but this stops in points and I will explain where later. Techincally, this needs a little bit of work and here is how:
1. "open as an owls". This should read "open as an owl's"
2. My vision watches you doesn't really make sense. It could be "my vision always upon you".
3. "I always find you don't I?". This should be "I always find you, don't I?"
4. "Terrors I say". This should be "Terrors, I say".
Also, the second to last line takes away the atmospheric tone so well. Don't be afraid to use a swear word in your writing. Not using it excessively is OK. Trust me, I never swear ANYWHERE outside my writing, so I think it's alright if you use one for the sake of your artistic creativeness. I'm sure that you want your voice to be angered by some crime that the person is accusing some one else of doing, so I think that strong language good be used here. If you are cool with it.
I will be critiquing the next two chapters later, if you like. Sorry if it bugs you, me being picky. You're awesome, Lia. Keep writing. :D
