Words Come to Life

Hullo!!! I'm soooooo Sorry I haven't written for a while, but how could I help it? I had no good ideas and none of my essays really seemed good enough. After all, its quality to quantity. But, here I am with a new story. So, enjoy!!

Words Come To Life

As I entered the ramshackled house, I saw something really strange. The roaring fireplace was crackling in the fireplace, although the place had probably not been tended to in forever. I noticed a patch of silvery light on the couch. As I watched, it shimmered and took on a human shape. I ran out of the shack and into the dark shadows.

I think that I did a pretty good job on that. This was an extract from my new book, and I just got back from the reading for it. By the way, my name is Annabelle Jenkins and I write horror stories. I stepped into my comfortable and frankly quite large apartment, but I was startled to see a thin layer of dust all over my possessions. Even more surprisingly, my usually spotless chandelier was covered in cobwebs. And since when was my couch that colour? My blood ran cold. This scene was disturbingly familiar; it was the setting for my new book. I felt a chilly touch on my neck, like someone was whispering. I soon realised, there was whispering. Disembodied voices rang around the living room, taunting and making snide comments. As I watched in horror, the exact scenario repeated itself. A silvery patch of moonlight that had managed to evade my dark curtains shimmered on the couch and took on a vaguely humanoid shape. What I saw was too grotesque to describe. My abode no longer felt welcoming and warm. The whole place gave off a dark and malevolent vibe. The musky scent of rotten flowers assaulted my nostrils. I noticed apparitions hovering in the next room, all barely visible. That is, except for their glowing dark eyes, which stared at me with hatred.
I could bear it no longer. 

If I had stayed there a moment longer, I don’t know whether I would have retained my sanity for any longer. Nevertheless, I darted out of the apartment, and vowed never to return to the sinister place. My neighbors told me howling could be heard all night. I made a decision to spend the night at my best friend’s home. My goose bumps refused to go away, even the next morning. I just needed some solitude to clear my head, but that wasn’t possible. I have an appointment with a therapist for my ‘hallucinations’, but in my heart, I know it’s true. My words have come to life.

A Starry, Starry Night

Hullo! Its sooo good to be back! This may be one of the best feelings in the world, I tell you. The summer holidays are on, and I'm quite sure these temperatures have never been recorded before. I needed to find something to fill my time, so I have begun sketching and occasionally painting. I'm so pleased, I've decided this *needs* an exclusive label. So, ladies and gentlemen (drumroll) I present to you, The Pencil. What I've decided is that I will be posting each of my paintings with an individual description written just for it. I stayed up almost all night doing this one, and its called a Starry, Starry Night. (Kinda like Coldplay, 🎶 look at the stars, look how they shine for you🎶) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The stars looked like silver powder sprinkled along a dark background. They glimmered and gleamed, lighting up the darkness. The moon kept watch over the...

On Influencers: How Much Of It Do They Have?

Yes, I know. It's been a while. And instead of greeting you guys with yet another indecipherable allegorical mess, I bring something that is potent in it's relevancy and unprecedented in it's ignored-ness. (yes i just made up that word) (yes this is my blog I do what I want) So, influencers. *cue a deep seated sigh of confusion from every human being out of adolescence* In case you've been living in Plato's cave with your WiFi unplugged, here's a little crash course: Those people on the internet that dominate social media with their presence and have followers for seemingly no conceivable reason except that.... sometimes they look good? I'm kidding im really not,  some of them do have talents (usually in the field of make up but we'll get into that later). To help you place this formless noun a little better - some include James Charles, Brent Rivera, Emma Chamberlain, all of the Kardashians and Jenners and on and on and on. As for the actual in...

I Guess This Is It.

 So, I'm moving. after about a year of inactivity, I'm moving to another blog. I don't know if anyone's left here, but this is for maybe the one person who might read it. I want to be emotional but I'm honestly just glad to be rid of Blogger. Never worked. Still doesn't. I outgrew this space. But this small corner of the internet will have a somewhat special place in my heart. Thanks to this. Thanks to anyone who's here.  My new home is https://polaroidsnpapercuts.wixsite.com/blog See you there.
