Dream or Reality ?

Thanks.........
*_*

i enjoyed the sort of twist at the end, when it wasnt the cat
and the lack of description could be good and could be bad.
in shorter stories like this i like less description cause i like to imagine a lot of it myself
but others may not agree..
well done anywaysss!

Well, you clarified the trap part, which is good. However, you still have lots of spellings and grammar mistakes, and I still don't understand the pill of bills line. Also, I see you took my advice with the italics. However, you need to be consistent with them. You're getting there! Keep working!

Thanks for your advice...I did use some here.
What do you think about it now ??Is it more clear ??

Hi! Alright, I can kind of see what you wanted to do here from what you just posted... and I'm sorry, but you didn't pull it off. What you ended up with was a rather confusing jumble.However, you show promise, and this story might make it yet if you do some major editing. Here's what I suggest (corrections and notes in bold, * = I took out a word):

It’s raining the cords out there.

I just got back from work.Hard day.They fired me.

Flashback.

*Mrs.Nate, you can't work here anymore. * (Make it italic, it's easier to understand.)

What ? Why ?

Always late. Stressing.Paranoid.Bad work.

I can change.

No, it's too late.Please take your stuff*. *

Didn't wait.

Didn't care.

*

What a day !

I close my eyes, trying to forget everything I went through * this week.

As I opened them again a pill of bills is fixing me, with a diabolic thing. Turned my head to watch something else. (I don't understand this at all. Please rewrite this sentence. What's a pill of bills?)

The kitchen is a real mess but I'm too tired to clean it up.

I’ve got to take a shower.

Though it's real cold,I’m sweating like a pig.

Why do I have a feeling something’s coming? (this sounds better)

I catch a towel while passing through the bedroom.

I head to the bathroom,but an icy wind momentarily paralyzes me.

I don’t remember leaving this window open*.

I must be mistaken.

I close it and carry on my way.

The water is hot and it* vivifies ( I don't remember wht vivify means, but vivi is the latin root for cut... I'm thinking you'll need a different word here) my skin.

I'mdone, and calmer now.

* What was that? (italics here, it's in her head.)

Someone’s out there.

I grab the towel and wrap it around me.

I walk cautiously.

I see nobody.

But I can hear two hearts in the room.

*

"Where are you? Who are you?"

Nothing.

I take a knife from near the oven.

My heart is racing.

I can’t hear my own thoughts.

Imagination?

No.

Something jumps on me.

Eyes closed.

Deep breath.

Slowly I open them.

It’s a cat.


Had the fear of my life for that.

Smiling.

Laughing.

So funny.

Then, pain. The most awful I'll ever know. (Here, I reworded this for you. Sounds cooler, no?)

The towel’s turning red.

It was a trap …He was out there.

I can hear him laughing nastily. (These two sentences really get to me. First: it was not a trap. Second: who is "He" and why did he stab her? Also, how? You say he is outside, and cats cannot stab. You definitely need to rewrite these)

It’s the last thing I remember.

Black.

Black.

Everything’s black.

*

No sound.

Nothing.

All alone.

Mary? Mary?

Trying to talk.

"Yes?"

You’re safe now.

Thank God.

I was dreaming.

What a dream.

Then I must be late for work.

But where am I ?

"Where are we?"

Hospital.

Darkness again.


* (Never, ever caps lock in a story.Especially when you don't need that sentence to be there anyway.)

Hey EmmaJane,

Thnx for your advice.Once again you got it.So I made some changes and about this " So ... there's an intruder ... oh, wait; the intruder's the cat ... oh no! No, actually there really was an intruder ... and it's .. all a dream? No, not a dream, wait ... Oh dear.. Ha ha. " It was exactly the idea.
Thanks again.
You're helping me a lot.

Here as requested, Slandie! I'll try not to manage my words, lol, but here are my thoughts on "Dream or Reality"!


Chat/MSN speak:
Reading chat speak in a story is a little annoying because it always takes me longer to figure out what you're saying. Which isn't good because I want to be bam! on the next part, seeing what comes next, not a couple of seconds behind, decoding what you've just put.
While what you've got here isn't as bad as, say, "cba", "thnx", "dis", ... and various others I can't be bothered to name, it can still be improved upon!

Sooo funny.

OOooooo Late for work.

:) ;} ;]

Mine and his.
