"Do you want to go away?" A question was asked.
"From where?" The Other's words were swimming with uncertainty.
"From here." The Speaker's voice lowered, " From them."
"Well, yeah. But.... Where can we go...?"
Dismissing the Other's point, the Speaker said, "That doesn't matter."
"Of course it matters!" Came the heated objection.
"No, it doesn't." Soft, soothing words calmed the air, "We'll just take one step and then another and see where we end up."
"But what if we end up in an even worse place?" Frowned the Other.
"Then we'll keep on walking. It's not hard, and maybe one day we'll end up in a nice place that we'd like and –" However the Speaker was cut off.
"Live happily ever after?" The query was mocking, but true.
"Not yet." Countered the Speaker, "Because something else will happen and we'll have to move again."
"Oh. But then what?"
"We'll keep on trying and we'll keep on walking until one day...."
"One day...?" Pressed the Other.
"One day we do." Murmured the Speaker.
"Do what?"
A sigh, "Live happily ever after."

Truth
A truth is a lie you believe in, convince enough people and it will become a fact.

Successor
Thrown in a box, shunned from the world.
(Placed on a pedestal, shown off to the world.)
Grey dust collected at the very top, acting as a soft blanket, comforting lonely days.
(Spotlights beaming on you, accompanied by astonished gazes, marveling over your glory.)
Days drag on when everything's this dark.
(They say time flies when you're having fun.)
Tallies marked on the box for each day completed.
(You pray for these days to never end.)
One more drab day to survive, with happiness deprived.
(A bright and early morning, with smiles bound to transpire.)
Energy depleting, sanity dwindling slowly.
(Shining vivid light, pores leaking

Cracked
she was the girl that sat in the far back corner of the classroom that everyone thought was bi-polar. Only, she wasn't, she was only trying on personalities like clothes in a department store to see which ones fit best.
[in the end, she bought the clothes that her classmates liked the most because it seemed to her it was better to be loved by others, than it was to love herself. she never really knew how to love herself anyways, and by senior year in high school, it was too late to start trying]
eventually, she couldn't tell which her was the real one and she ended up hating all of them, but she was never able to throw them out and go shopp

1oo Stories - Break Away
I thought I'd do a follow up thing to Love is Love [link] because Love is Love was such a challange to write whilst making sure it all made sense >.< Thought I'd try again.
So I wrote out the rough draft in my notebook ofawesomous at break and lunch and - even though the draft was interupted by some pie related grafitti from and - I've written it up in all its rubbishness.
I've tried my best to keep the characters vague (even if they have adopted the names of 'The Speaker' and 'The Other') but I can already see some kind of devlopment sneaking its sneaky fingers in there. Speaker seems to be the more emotionally strong of the pair, Speaker has the dreams and the strength to keep them together. On the other hand Other seems to be somewhat weak and certainly more practical. Other appears to be scared of what will happen if they follow Speaker's advice but Other always does.
Without each other's opposite characteristics their relationship wouldn't work, it would be like Romeo without Juliet, George without Lennie, Tarquin without Marcus, 'Jah without Flo or Me without my owl Oscar
Uh.... yeah.... we've done characters' realtionships to *death* in English this year. You can kinda see how it's rubbed off on me.....
Sorry for the shittiness, as per I'm gonna go now.... uh.... BYE!
