Coming Down Before Carraba's: The Place I Can Never Be

Feb 14, 2010 19:49

The crimson blood always seems to mock me. Nausea rose in my throat as I remembered each time I was left with only stains of blood, clear reminders of the emptiness of dreams.

Sorry, in some ways, I hate to end sad:( But that is what kept occuring to me for the prompt. Thanks for commenting:)

Java_fiend is a great partner, really helped me edit and polish and look deeper until my entry was better than it would have been without him.

I hated to "make our readers sad" but every idea we could come up with for "A Place that Can Never Be" seemed sad. Maybe we just look on the dark side.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!:)

Why Thank you!:) I have never been a chicken Baby but am flattered to be asked.

I loved your line about "cupid college" before I knew it was your entry for the week. Now it makes me laugh even more:)

Hee, thanks! I wanted to send everyone Valentines as part of our entry since the intersection was Valentine-themed but Cat came up with the Valentine theme for both entries before I even told her I wanted to do it so it worked out perfectly!

You're always so creative, I love that I get to experience part of that:)
