The Refuge

The Refuge:
And most people's memories fade with the passing of the years. The days set in on the cells of their brain and wear and gnaw away, and the person forgets lots of things. This is common in the older population, the elderly, where nearly half of those over the age of 85 have Alzheimer's disease. It's a sad thing, someone spends their lives with memories they cherish and look back, building up memories they can be satisfied with when it's coming closer to the end of their days, the days they can't make much more, and then they just forget, and a lifetime is eras

Watching the Rain Come DownThere's a sinking sadness, it's passing through as the rain drops through my fingers and on the top of my head. It's not so much the rain as it is the gloom of the ground beneath, the humid air. In my one arm, she was there. Her waist was perfectly around my arm and connected to my hand, and she laid her head on my shoulder even though as we walked, her head sometimes bumped up and back down my shoulder lightly. Really, I didn't mind at all.
So, we walked out onto the driveway, the keys in my hand. Her hair, it was long and dark brown, almost black, a little wet from the dropping rain below. Every now and then, I'll look at her a Watching the Rain Come Down

Plague of Meplague of me:
there's that feeling in the morning, the feeling that if i don't wake up i just may never get up. and there's that loathing in my decision, and there's that owning in my pain, there's that burning sensation of hesitant contemplation while i am...
i'm losing it, i'm losing what i grasped to tight. i'm losing it, this may be my...
every word that you say, it feels like a damn disease, i can feel your breath against my cheek, i can feel your plague inside of me and your breath is just used air, toxic to taste, you taste like disrepair,

new stuff.

Wed Oct 6, 2004, 6:26 PM

so the journal pages should be coming up soon, so that's cool... the first 21 chapters of the first book are up there, i'll post the new link when they get that all done. also, i'm starting a second book. this one will be a lot more mature and hopefully just overall better. still a lot of humour and stuff like that, but more of a developed story. also, i'll try and get some short stories up here and write some more. not a lot of people see this right now but it's all good, i don't mind. anyway... i'll try and sum up some of the plot of the new book right here:

this is the 2nd book i may embark on, very cut down and simplified.

PLOT: the book is basically a mix of a psychological diary of events and memories of the past along with current events happening in a particular character's life(who is unnamed for now.) the character was held captive as a hostage with 19 other people by a serial killer and kept in an apartment in cages for dogs in animal shelters. forced to watch the killer rape, abuse and kill the others he suffers post-traumatic stress and serious depression. he recalls events with his psychologist during a few sessions, while at home his friend is a party-loving drunken guy in his mid twenties who's trying to help him get back into the real world and have fun. he takes him to parties, where they both meet a girl and the friend tries to hook the two up. taking a liking to her himself, he decides to date her instead. as their relationship deteriorates and the relationship of the girl and the main character strengthen, the character discovers a few secrets about his own psychologist and some secrets he never discovered in his own memories as he deals with his own internal conflicts and the pressure that everyone else puts on him - including his psychologist pressuring him to reveal more of his experiences with the killer, his friend pressuring him to unfold more and party like he does, and the girl, who's got more to her than she seems, trying to find out more about him and help him through his difficult past and his uncertain future.
