Chapter Two

Well, I looked today and saw that I got a whopping 8 page views.  You guys are smothering me, haha.
I've worked a bit on chapter two, and so here's what I've got.

    He opened his eyes, then winced and closed them.  It was overwhelmingly bright.  He put a hand up, and cracked an eye open.  Everything was white.  The floors, the ceiling, the table… all white.  He sat up and took a look around.  Hospital, he thought to himself.  For some reason he had a nagging feeling that he should be dead, but couldn't remember why.  In fact, he couldn't remember anything leading up to when he'd woken up.  He pushed off the exam table he'd been laying on and looked around. There wasn't a single person around.  Feeling a bit cautious, he grabbed a scalpel from a white gurney on his way to the door.  He found it unlocked.

    The hallway was empty.  Not just devoid of people, but desolate of everything.  It was a mirror image, the way to the left mirroring the way to the right.  Except for one thing: one had a blue arrow at the end and one had a red arrow.  Odd.  There was something disturbing, something that he couldn't put his foot on.  He sat down and thought hard.  Gasping, he realized what it was.  He didn't know who the heck he was. 

    He shimmied back up the wall, trying to stay calm.  He was in an unfamiliar place, a hospital most likely, and couldn't remember who he was.  Clearly he'd suffered some sort of brain injury.  He just needed to find somebody else.  He looked left, then right.  He chose left.

    The hallway turned when he reached the arrow.  Down at the end was a large television screen.  He approached it slowly, not sure what to do.  There was a flash across the blackness and then there was a man staring down at him.  The man smiled warmly, approaching creepy.  "Hello, Subject 41149115.  I hope that you are not too alarmed."

    He only shook his head in disbelief.  "Where am I?," he whispered.


I'll type the rest next week.  I'm looking at having two chapters done a week from now on, so stay posted.

My picture for this blog is actually going to be of Damian.  I sketched it in my boredom.  I'll have it in Mrs. Krieger's room tomorrow.

End of Chapter One

Here's the ending to chapter one of my book.  Whew, writing is hard….

    He glanced left and right again, then chose to go left.  His footfalls thudded dully upon the floor as he passed by each hallway.  There!  He staggered to a halt, his legs and side hurting.  There was an exit sign above a grey door at the end.  Its warm red glow made Damian smile.  He ran for it, stopping at a small white box on the wall.  It had a flashing blue button on it, and he pressed it in for a moment.  An emergency alarm rang, and blue lights flashed to life everywhere.  That would evacuate anybody left in the building, hopefully.  A squeak, like boot leather caught his attention.  He was being followed.  He backed away slowly, and quietly walked the rest of the way.  As he reached for the door he heard a soft whiff.  Just as his hand touched the cool steel handle he staggered under a sharp pain in his shoulder.  He turned to see a man pointing a long gun at him from down the hall.  The man smiled and snickered.
"Gotcha," he said.
    Damain reached back and felt for a bullet wound, but all he felt were feathers.  Feathers?  He suddenly dropped to the floor, disoriented and unable to move through the thick haze that had been his mind.  He looked up and saw the boots walking towards him slowly.  Crap, he thought.
    Then the corridor exploded in a flash of white and orange, and Damian saw the boots no more.

    Hunter Lars III sat in his chair, watching to footage.  He wasn't disappointed by what he saw.  There was something to be exploited about this young anarchist… and if not, well, he'd soon fin himself dead once again.  He picked up a phone, pressed the button, and spoke.  "Bring in the body."



Hope that anybody who is reading this is enjoying it.  I really love it.  It gives me a chance to be really creative.  Anyways, I'll have the full Chapter One printed out for anybody who wants to read the full deal and stuff.  My inspiration for what's coming up actually came from two sources: Valve's Portal 2, and The Maze Runner.
Be prepared for something to happen, cuz something always happens I suppose.

Pff whoops

Just realized, I forgot a pic in my numero quatro post, I'd meant to add it.  Here is is, a gun that looks relatively like my idea of the LARCO SMG

Sorry

I'm sorry I was unable to post last week.  We had to replace some of our computer thingies that were faulty and we bought a new modem.  But now I can post again!

I've been researching what types of books have been trending.  My first search took me to a site that dealt in the types of books that make the most money.  Here they are:

5) Horror-  at number 5, horror surprised me (hahaha…).  I hadn't really expected it to be up that high.  I love horror though.  Just ask Monica, I'm a serial killer.

4) Fantasy- my favorite genre.  It's the best.  No more discussion.  Everybody knows Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and such.

3) Religious/Inspirational-  Um, well I can't really say much about this genre.  I know that Unbroken was one of the top 3 best books I've ever read, though, and I'd say that it was pretty inspirational.

2) Mystery- mystery is, well, elementary, my dear reader.  That's why books like Sherlock Holmes continue to baffle and entertain us through the ages.

1) Romance/ Erotica- well this is number one… can't really say too much in support of it.  Talk to Orion, he's like an expert or writer or something.


Anyways, I found evidence after a little searching that dystopian books are trending.  That's what I thought, and that's what I'm writing about because that's what I'm in the mood for.

What should I write on in my next post?  What kinds of books do you like?  Who reads this?
I need answers people.

I'm sorry I don't have any more of my book at the moment, it's on a school computer.

To close, I'd like to show a list of the top ten most read books of all time:  The only really important one is LOTR though
