(This is the unfinished first chapter of a story that took place in my life.)




The morning sun peaked through the dusted window and ripped at my exposed head above the stained dark blue blanket. A radiant block of light below my lethargic sight leaking into the air. The world was blured around me, the details fuzzy and bland. But everything closer to me---things such as my hands and my shoulders and the edge of the blanket above my bare chest---was very much visible, perfectly clear. To heal this impairment of my vision I would need to go put in my contacts---great.

My closet was opened, darkness in its containment, I suppose I had left it that way the previous night, but I realized that one of the sliding white doors was inmoveable. The door behind the other was half slid out and tilting back, the top fading out of sight into the dark above.

My heart felt as if it were in a rusted cage, away from Savannah, my personal belle of the ball for my life to go back to in its times of need. It was the first day of summer and she was away, out of my loving embrace. I needed to hug something. So Isat up straight and pulled my pillow from behind me, gathering it into my arms in that caring embrace which I imagined as her. "She is everything and more . . ." I spoke this part of a mesmerizing song from Slipknot, whom I harldy ever listen to anymore. This part of the song was more of a gloomy collection of words, with a small tinge of rythmn. "The solemn hypnotic/ My Dahlia, bathed in possesion." And then the somber singing onsets like some kind of cold virus, still holding that faint tinge of a somber narrative. "She is home to me/ I get nervous, perverse, when I see her it's worse/ But the stress is astounding/ It's now or never/ She's coming home... Forever."

I decided not to sing the rest, instead I slowy got out of bed, pulling my legs from under the warm protection of the blankets. Once out of the bed I walked two feet over to a poise pile of past worn clothes, sleeves and spikes of shirts and pants and underwear and socks protruding from the twined bundle. Around this was a scattered mess of game manuals and unfinished drawings, intermingling with pens and granite pencils and pastels and other art supplies. On the carpet were many colored spatters and explosions of acrylic paint had either dripped from the easle or had been flung from the end of my brush as I created a splattered background for an art peice. Small droplets of bright green paint were on the computer monitor which lay on top of a low dresser just behind the clothes pile in a dimly shaded corner.

I reached down into the pile of clothes and picked out an old pair of Vans Slimbo jeans which were just about ready to be thrown away due to how uncomfortable they are, itchy around the crotch. I slipped those on over my plaid boxers and then found my favorite In Flames shirt, which had art by Alex Pardee on it, and threw it over my upper body without thinking about whether or not I actually wanted to wear any of these clothes throughout the rest of my day. After this I ventured over to the bigger dresser on top of which I keep all of my throphies from my former years of racing motocross, most from the Vet-X series, the oldest from racing at Racetown 395 on my KX 65 when I was just a liitle-un. I slid the third drawer down out and picked some not-to-bad black socks out from the mess of crusted ones. I closed the drawer and went over to my bed once more and sat down on the edge. I slipped the socks on and looked at them for a while. I really did not want to go to Vegas today, I knew that my dad would go all of the way there just so we could eat a buffet at the Rio or Bellagio, he was prone to do things like this. But I would go along with it anyway and eat the buffet because food is for people who want to live and it should be taken in, but why not indulge upon a more delicious varity of it?

I arose onto two slightly aimless feet and ambled out of my room, at the threshold of the door as I walk out of the room the carpet suddenly is cut off. To my left is a wall of cabinets, painted white like all every single wall in the house and to my right is a carpet stripped room where Muska, me and my dad's dog, pisses and shits. I looked into the Dog Room, that's what we call it, and stare at the blurred blotches of dark brown scattered throughout the room. Distgusting. I walk away and pass directly into the bathroom were the flooring turns into white tile.

I looked in the water-splash stained mirror and gazed at my drowsy reflection, my brown eyes awake yet falling into some other world. My curly brown hair is fluffed up in aimless tufts of mess. I run my hand through my bangs and then drop it and look down at the sink beneath the mirror, everything is white, the glossy surface of the sink, stained with desposed acrylics and dark scratches within the bowl, and the flat around it, which contains all of my parapernalia of personal hygeine, is sodden with a thin puddle of water left from last night when I took out the contacts.

I looked around the bathroom for a towel and found none, so instead of that I would just use the toilet paper to dry my hands. I unscrewed the left and right caps to my contact case and cast them aside, leaving the floating contacts exposed within their multi-purpose solution ocean. I picked up a small bean can and tilted it over my cupped left-hand, letting the yellow soap liquid ooze down in a thick trail down the inside wall of the can, gradually making its way towards the sharp edge. A glob soap collected in the center of my palm and I tilted the can back upwards and set it down were it had been before. I did not want to turn the valve for the water with soapy hands so instead I took my available hand and turned the hot nob, tested the heated water on my skin after it bursted out in a violent furry and then turned the valve for cold water until the splash was lukewarm, not too hot, not too cold. I lifted my hands to nearly eye level and roughly scrubbed them together, trying to get every little defiled spot. I rinsed the foaming soap from my hands and then turned around and flicked my hands throw the air, sending furious speckles of water into the air.

I then turned back around and immediately went over to the toilet paper, gathering it up, mummifying my hand with an abundant amount of it. The toilet paper scattered in tiny tears on my hand, sticking on the skin and logged with all the water it could hold, but my hand was dry by the time the bundle was loaded, only a few little chuncks of white were stuck to my hand, mainly amidst the fingers. I thew the bundle into the trashcan beside the piss congested, shit stained toilet and then started the careful procedure of removing the reminense of the paper from my hand.

Okay. Wow. You over described that so much, it took me five times of reading it to get what you were trying to say.

My closet was opened, darkness in its containment, I suppose I had left it that way the previous night, but I realized that one of the sliding white doors was inmoveable. The door behind the other was half slid out and tilting back, the top fading out of sight into the dark above.
Again, over describing something, especially something so minor like this, isn't good. The closet doesn't really have any significance to the story right? Then it doesn't really matter, and you don't really need all this. Also just the way you word the sentence here, is strange, so you might want to try doing it over a little simpler.

My heart felt as if it were in a rusted cage, away from Savannah, my personal belle of the ball for my life to go back to in its times of need.
Okay you might want to clarify that Savannah is a girl and not the city...

It was the first day of summer and she was away, out of my loving embrace. I needed to hug something. So I(Space)sat up straight and pulled my pillow from behind me, gathering it into my arms in that caring embrace which I imagined as her. "She is everything and more . . ." I spoke this part of a mesmerizing song from Slipknot, whom I hardly ever listen to anymore. This part of the song was more of a gloomy collection of words, with a small tinge of rhythm.

Okay...well it's not horrible, but it's not really all that interesting, just a normal get up and go day. But the thing is, something that could last a paragraph, took you a whole chapter. By dragging and drawing out a boring plot line, and over describing to try and make it seem interesting, you really sort of killed it. When you have every single little thing in some sort of metaphor or whatever it is, the reader's brain has to stop and see what you're trying to show through the metaphor, and when you have a million descriptions of everything it makes it incredibly hard to read.

But good luck and keep writing!

Thanks for the review. I do know that I was decribing a bit too much. It was about things that I do so I went a bit overboard. I don't usually write like this though. I posted this without checking my grammatical errors first, so . . . :/ Oh well.

"blured" is supposed to ne "blurry"

So Isat up straight and pulled my pillow from behind me, gathering it into my arms in that caring embrace which I imagined as her. " caring embrace which I imagined as her. " everything and more . . ." I spoke

"Isat" is suppose to be "I sat"

Slipknot, whom I harldy ever listen to anymore. This part of the song was more of a gloomy collection of words, with a small tinge of rythmn.

"harldy" is spelt wrong, its "hardly"

I decided not to sing the rest, instead I slowy got out of bed, pulling my legs from under the warm protection of the blankets.

"slowy" is wrong, its "slowly"

er this I ventured over to the bigger dresser on top of which I keep all of my throphies from my former years of racing motocross, most from the Vet-X series, the oldest from racing at Racetown 395 on my KX 65 when I was just a liitle-un.

"liitle-un"...I think this could be "young-in" or "little one"

o my left is a wall of cabinets, painted white like all every single wall in the house and to my right is a carpet stripped room where Muska, me and my dad's dog, pisses and shits. I looked into the Dog Room, that's what we call it, and stare at the blurred blotches of dark brown scattered throughout the room. Distgusting.

...I think thats all...I hoped I helped!.

On this I don't really need to explain about wether it's a boy or a girl because it's about me. I hinted it earlier when I spoke of my girlfriend. :)
