Hi everyone. So, I haven't really been writing, I know. I was searching for a muse, and I found one :D. So, the drought is over.
This is the intro to a new story I've been playing around with. Thought now was as good a time as any to start sharing. Please read and leave some feedback. I hope you like it.

CRASH!!!
I cowered as the porcelain vase I'd spent a fortune on hit the wall, missing me by a few inches, and shattered. The pieces dropped to the floor near me. I thought it was amazing how they still looked like a glorious work of art even when reduced to mere shards and pieces. I could probably make some sort of mosaic out of them. Like the one in that magazine. My mind began to wander, as I played absently with the pieces of what had once been my most valuable treasure. His angry rants and curses became nothing more than distant echoes at the back of my mind.
Over the years, I'd learnt to shut this part out. Focus on something else so I didn't have to hear the demeaning words and cruel insults he had grown accustomed to flinging at me. Sometimes, it worked. He'd get bored with my lack of response and leave me alone. Other days, he'd get more aggravated. Today, it was the latter.
I didn't hear him walk over to me, and, before I had time to escape, he had me up against the wall in a choke hold. "Look at me when I'm talking to you, you ungrateful idiot!!!" He screamed, shaking me.
I stared at him, speechless. His eyes were bloodshot and bulging, and I could see the veins in his neck throbbing furiously. I searched his face, looking desperately for someone I wasn't even sure ever existed. I knew what was coming next. "Papa, please." I whispered.

That's it then. The first part will be up next week (hopefully). Please remember to leavee some feedback in the comments section.
Also, since I'm in such a good mood, I'll share some more with you guys. If you don't aalready know, an article of mine went up on 234next. *cue confetti* :D. Yeah, it's not SPECTACULAR. But I'm pretty darn happy about it. So, you can check it out here.
Also, there's something else in the works. It's hush hush now, but 'm having some of my fave female bloggers come in on it. So, yeah. That's it.
Until next time, peace, love, and happiness.
