My footsteps echoed through the dormant house, silence ringing through my ears. The breeze sweeps through the house from a window high above my head. As i tread carefully down the narrow hall i trace my fingertips over the patterns that were formed years before by that of someone with true love of this house but now it lay in ruins barely even existing to capture ones eye as they run past playing a game of hide and seek.



meh I have no idea.....help!!

Depends on what you want to write in the first place. What genre?

You put the word 'house' twice in two sentences and to me it doesn't sound right.

As i tread


As I tread


i trace


I trace


I also noticed that this piece of writing has only three sentences. I think you should break this down into more or put commas in. It would be a bit boring for the reader if there were hardly any sentences.

But stick to this and good luck! :wink:

Echoed= past tense
Sweeps= Present tense. I would say keep to one tense.

I would say you should out this into poem formation, and put it on on of those forums. It works better as a poem.
So stadig loop ons deur die pers Jakarandas wat val,die bome word kaal Pa staar na die beeld van Botha wat reis op sy perd,Hy wonder was bloed soveel werd.Soveel jare dra hy aan die naam van 'n plek,Soveel jare moet ons nou laat gaan,Is die naam dan so erg,so bitter en sleg?Hoekom gooi jul dit weg?



Daddy Long Legs are more closely related to crabs than spiders and somehow the idea of crablike creatures with spider legs that have escaped the entrappings of the primordial sea and now crawl over land and can walk up and down walls and ceilings creeps me more than I can adequately describe.
