You can actually make a youtube-esque video if you'd like, but since I'm technologically challenged, I only wrote it out.

This one's for a new story I'm working on.

***
Girl 1: "So what's your story?"

Girl 2: "Art scholarship. You?"

Girl 1: "Music. My parents were so excited. I was flunking out of public school."

Narrator: Sometimes perfection...

Girl 1: "God, look at this campus. It's awesome. Arcades...stables...swimming pool..."

Girl 2: "I know, right? This is going to be great."

Narrator: ...comes at much too high a price.

(Time passes)

Girl 1: "So what's your story?"

Girl 2: "I...I don't remember."

(Images)

A class of kids, their backs ram-rod straight, their books open, their faces happy.

A table full of students eating what looks like a gourmet meal.

A boy slams his fist into a brick wall, two guards come and shuffle him down the dorm hallway to the office.

Girl 1: "Why did you do that?"

Boy: "I wanted to feel something."

(Images)

A girl on horseback galloping toward a gate in a white wall.

A boy and girl dancing next to the swimming pool.

Girl 1 feeling along a concrete wall, crying.

Boy: "We have to get out. Doesn't anyone get it? We can't stay here. They can't keep us here."

Girl 2: "But why would you want to leave?"

Narrator: What doesn't kill you...

Girl 1: "Are they trying to keep them out? Or are they trying to keep us in?"

Narrator: ...only makes you weaker.

***

:D Have fun with this. It should be entertaining and inspirational.

BLAH i want to read that now! Hah. i'm sort of in the middle of writing another story with werewolves.

I'm not sure yet but if i were, it would be one with werwolves transforming, girl screaming, bad evil guy grinning and then this huge chase. I am working on it!
Writing gives my life purpose

*shakes head disapprovingly*

Vampires are MUCH better than werewolves.

Ahem.

:backtotopic:

I made a trailer for an old story I wrote, "The Blonde Death," and uploaded it to YouTube.... it lasted a year, got over 1,500 views.... and THEN some record company had to complain that I used a song by The Used - even though I put in the "I own nothing" disclaimer and gave credit to them. Makes me mad. People upload videos without crediting the right people all the time, and I'm the one that gets yelled at? Pfft. Oops, I'm rambling.

I made a trailer for a story that I'm writing, The Dark Healer (even though I know I'll never finish it. *sigh*), and uploaded it to my authour page on MySpace. Link is in the sig, but you have to be my friend on there to even see it. =/

I thought about making a trailer for Tomorrow Does Not Exist, but I have yet to find the "actors," lol. If I do, I'll be sure to post it though :)

I'm very technologically challenged, and I don't have any actors or the correct places to make my trailer...so I'll write it out. You could say the book its for is a horror...though its not the best..

This one is for Family Tree:
Guy' 1s voice: It's been one hundred years...[view starts to view in on a small village on a high cliff like island surrounded by water. It views close enough to see a man about to be hung] Since I died. And now, I think it's time to get revenge. [view changes quickly to a man in his office. Phone rings]
Guy 2: Hello?
Guy 1: It's been so nice to see you, Jeremiah. I've been waiting for our appointment for such a long time. [long ring as phone goes dead]
[view of a wall, covered with the letters DDR flash]
Guy 1 (scar on face, red around neck): I'm sorry to tell you, but there's going to be a funeral this upcoming Friday
Guy 2: Who died? How do you know that
Guy 1: [with a cruel-ish smile] I'm sure you'll find out very soon

Flash of writing (red on black): Some grudges never last....
[woman is sitting in the corner of a room]
Woman1:[whispering] Don't hurt me...Don't hurt me. Please. [Woman is still visible, but a man's legs cover part of the view. Carring a rope with a noose on the end]
Guy 1: I'm sorry, miss, but I can't promise that.

Flash of writing: But for one man, It could last forever.
Woman1 screams.
[a large house is surrounded by press, banging on the door, shouting questions. Door slowly opens to reveal the feet of a woman in an expensive dress. Press in silence]

Flash of writing: And it could ruin an entire family...
Next flash of writing: If he's not stopped

Guy 3:[He and a group of other translusent figures are gathered in a room.] Don't you see? He's going to kill them all if we don't help
I realized that I said I'd be gone for only two weeks...but I was gone for much longer.I hope to stay on this time. :)

HERALD. From the King and Queen of Anglisca to their niece, the Duchess Alarise Cranley, for her birthday.

ALARISE. Oh, how lovely!

ROMIL. A hybrid. Well, that’s original.

ALARISE [stroking the hybrid’s head] Shadow Tattybogle.

[Shadow looks up at her and smiles]

V/O: The night of the Duchess’ birthday…

[A door in a dark corridor creaks opens, and a candle flame flickers]

… Something happens.

[A woman screams]

[A knife falls to the floor]

[Someone runs through the dark hall, leaving a candle upturned on the floor]

[Blood drips slowly onto the floor]

ALARISE. What happened?

JERA. Someone killed the Queen’s maid.

[Alarise looks down at Shadow] Shadow, what did you see?

SHADOW. Someone running.

V/O: Two weeks before a royal wedding, and a killer is loose in the castle.

[Romil searches frantically through a desk] Whoever did it is still here

ALARISE. Is the queen in danger?

SHADOW [smiling peacefully] We’re all in danger.

[Shadow sniffs a box of powder and her eyes close]

[The queen pulls a knife out of the wall]

THE KING. My son is going to marry the Vitelia princess and nothing is going to change that, do you hear me?

SHADOW. Maybe she tried to kill herself. Maybe she likes the attention.

[A flag with a wyvern on unfurls in the wind]

[A horse rears up]

[A house in flames]

[People feasting]

[A drawing of a dragon]

THE KINGDOM IS DEPARTED

This is a great Idea! All of yours sound amazing!


[Camera swoops in on devested Seattle. Buildings are crumbled and concrete is scattered everywhere. It looks as though bombs have rained on the city. Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria plays softly in the backround. Cut to Black screen]

Voice Over (Odette's voice whispered): We should have listened.

[Cut to image a bleeding hand scratching at the floor from under a bed, struggling to get out.

Cut to image of an old woman shrieking to a crowd of disheveled and injured people]

Old Woman: “You fools! You damned fools!”

Voice Over: I need to find him. I need to find my brother.

[Cut to image of a grocery store. Something moves in the shadows.

Cut to image of Odette and Boy 1 huddled behind checkout counter. Something large and unseen slithers past]

Boy 1: (whispers) What was that?

Odette: I don't know...I think it's gone...

[Creature shrieks and lunges for the two. Cut to Black Screen]

Voice Over: He had said the world would end.

[Cut to image of Odette, her brother and Boy 1 running from collapsing building.

Cut to image of her brother tapping away at a computer in a lab.

Cut to image of large explosion that rockets a car into said lab.]

Voice Over: And then it did.
James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Goldfinger: No Mister Bond, I expect you to die!

Black screen
Teenage boy's voice: "What if..... the Killer was the Best Friend...."

Images: (begin music from RED, "Wasting Time. The 27 second scream and guitar.)

Furious pitbull raging against a chain link fence. teenage girl propped up on her elbows, lying in the asphalt, watching him curiously.

cut to:

Same teenage girl and boy crouched into dark, cramped space, foreheads pressed together.
boy: "...And what if... the Best Friend was the Killer?"

Images: ( "Wasting Time" chorus)

Girl counting money, her smile disappearing and she gasps.

Girl slipping a bag of white powder to a man in a deserted alley.

Girl and dog running for their lives through deserted neighborhood.

Three men in beat up truck following closely. Man in back raises his gun.

Girl frozen on the side of the road in fear.

Black screen ( Silence, then a gunshot.)

Image: (still silent)

Dog leaping into the air in front of the girl. (slow motion)

Cut to:

Same girl and boy still crouched into dark space, heads still pressed together.
boy: "...And what if...one of those was me?"

yea not that great :D but it was fun!!
Alone- alone- all- all- alone
Upon the wide, wide sea-
And God will not take pity on
My soul in agony!

Ooh, sounds fun. I'll give it a try.

[Open with Graveyard.]

Boy: What is this place?

Old Woman: This is the Graveyard. This is your future.

[Black Screen]

Narrator: It's been years since one of those graves was opened. Centuri-

[A roar and a dripping sound]

Images flash quickly, all of the boy and old woman. A skeletal hand is present in all those pictures.

[Black Screen. Boy wanders into the screen. He doesn't see the yellow eyes coming out from behind him.]

Boy: Grandma? Where are you?

[Scream and boy disappears]

Narrator: -es since one of them was opened. Now, they're loose. All of them.

[Cut to Graveyard from the beginning. This time, all the graves are opened and empty.]

Camera zooms to the sign in front of the graveyard. It reads, Cemetery of Lost Heroes.

[Black Screen]

That was quite fun.
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.
