CW - Monsters and Villains

This week we were supposed to write on a piece of paper 3 negative characteristics of people that we find displeasing, annoying or even evil. Furthermore, we were supposed to write one positive characteristic. Then we put those in a hat and pulled out someone elses.

On my piece of paper there was written:

I have to say I had hard time writing this story, especially incorporating the "sadistic" part in it and this is what I finally wrote:

Bastien rolled his eyes. He had enough of it. Enough of the dirty and dusty place. Enough of the stupid and stubborn people. Yet another parents refused to allow him give medicine for their child who clearly suffered from typhus.

"For Christ sake"...no need to excuse my French there... "people can´t you see that this is the only way to safe your child? I don´t give a shit about your religion. No Buddha, no Shiva, no Mohammad or other freaky dudes are going to cure your child. And you want him cured, don´t you? Don´t you?!"

"Tamara, translate this...would you?"

He was outraged, this was the 5th family questioning his medical practise since the morning and is was only 10:30. He did not have the patience anymore, he felt his anger gradually pulsing in his veins and also making him sweat even more in the unbearable heat. And then...out of nowhere, something scratched his leg. It was a yellow-eyed cat that was played with his shoe lace.

He looked down at his favourite and no longer white, but rather in red-dust and sand covered sneakers. Suddenly the view for him symbolised everything he hated. He hated the country and more than anything, he hated cats. Cats were just creepy unreliable creature with weird anatomy.

"Wait, aren´t they supposed to be sacred here? Screw that!"

He moved his leg, the cat´s claw still stuck in his shoe-lace. That was it, he could not control himself anymore, he started kicking the animal. The poor thing was trying to trying to escape, but Bastien kicked it´s head...the diyyiness was taking over and he would not stop kicking. His white trousers were now covered with splashes of red blood, but he would not have enough. With the last rush of anger he stepped on cat´s head and crushed it´s skull. 

He was breathing heavily...It was not until this moment that he realised that everyone stares at him.

He kicked the remains of the body to the corner of the room, looked up at the patients who were now staring at him in horror. 

"You want your kid dead? Keep refusing then! Darling Tamara, translate it would you?"

CW - "Unbearable love"

19.2.2014

I went to the give it a go event of the Creative writing club which takes place every Wednesday.

During every meeting we are assigned a topic to brainstorm and produce in-class writing. 

In our first session, we were given 4 photos of statues. Unfortunately, I knew my statue. It was Cupid and Psyche, I also knew the story from Greek mythology. The fact that I knew it was a bit restricting and in the end I decided to write the story in a very different light.

 I kept looking at the statue and then it inspired me.

I wrote this story purposely without no setting of time or space, because I believe that it might be applicable to any era or space with the aim to describe, how people feel without their loved ones.

"Why do I love him so much? How do I feel about him this way? I love his warmth when we lie naked in bed...but why would he have to leave?"

She lies there not able to fall asleep, doubting her love, because everytime he leaves, she feels insecure and incomplete. She does not understand why she feels this way and why she looses her confidence and certainity when he is not around.

"They say that love gives you wings, but why do his wings tak my love from me? Why is he leaving me? What am I supposed to the the whole day without him? Why can´t I stop thinking about him? I want my sanity back!"

In few hours, he is going to wake up and leave, as he does every day and she is going to be having another clueless day trying to figure out, how did the sparkle from the life disappear. Her love for him was consuming. She was wandering around the place, when he was away. She was miserable, she could not bear him leaving her again.

"I feel like I cannot do this anymore and now it´s time for him to leave again...no, I cannot do this."

He woke up, kissed her gently on her naked shoulder, felt her shiver and hughed her tightly...She reached up to him as she always did, but this time it was different. He heard her sigh, but then he realised, that he found himself holding her lifeless body.

With the last sigh the life dissapeared from her body, her heart could not bear him leaving her again.
