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

[drippedonpaper]

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. Each time I cursed this broken body incapable, it seemed, of giving, only skilled in letting go. Sometimes I wish I could let go of this part of me, this place inside that

This is an amazing piece, Maria! You and java_fiend made your two parts of the one story flow together so well!

I cried at the end, because there was so much hope, and everything was going to be so perfect.

In my heart, I'm hoping there was one survivor, or rather two!

Good luck!

That seems like life doesn't it? So much hope and everything seems perfect and then...? But, I hope your life becomes a lot more perfect, Hon.

I thought of you some when I was writing this, how you hope to have kids one day. I do hope your dreams come true.

Thinking of you...

You two have done something amazing here. I love how the two sides work so well together. Very well written.

The stories took on a life of their own, which is always strange and amazing, in some ways. Java_fiend was a great in helping me refine my entry and make it better.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!:)

These two stories work so nicely together...it's like you must have been in the same room writing together or something! You both rock socks:)

Well, he let me send mine first and, I think he kind of referenced mine while writing his so they would definitely sound like our characters were having the same experience. And then, of course, we tweaked my story to make details he added or changed match in my story.

A lot of fun, Java_fiend is a great writing partner to work with!:)
