Yeah, add some foley, and you've got a great audio-drama monologue, Estelore.

*tilts head quizzically* What is this foley?
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

its been 2 years since the car crash, and you miss her, man do you miss her. You try finding new people, speed dating, hell, you get desperate and use the search function on Facebook to find women in you're area, but they just don't compare to her. It gets so bad that every night you cry yourself to sleep, praying to god to bring her back, and she never does.

Until one night you receive a phone call, the voice is hers. You are shocked when she says that she has heard your prayers and is waiting for you to rescue her from the darkness, she gives you instructions, and you begin to follow them.

A few weeks later, you finally finish the daunting task she gave you (Find her body, sever three toes of three children under three and place them in her mouth. Crush the hearts of 7 different toads over her chest, and a few more, stranger, sicker tasks.) But it works. She begins to wake up, she finally stands but, it's gone wrong.

She just stands there, she opens her eyelids to reveal empty sockets. She starts crying blood, with an audible howl, her voice cracks as her dead body tries to scream.

The police walked into your apartment 4 hours later when people complained about the noise, they found you in a state of comatose, and she is nowhere to be seen, apart from a note saying "Thank You"

So sorry to get you into writing. What a horrible thing to inflict on you. Should have just sold you crack.

Foley is the art of sound effects.  Usually sound effects of mundane things, made by manipulating physical objects rather than stock recordings or synthesis.  Footsteps.  Doors.  Background chatter.  That sort of thing.

You are at school, in a classroom. You hear screams. A mass murderer is going from classroom to classroom, killing everyone in a psychotic spree. Before anyone in your classroom can run, he enters the place and starts gunning down (or slashing) everyone. You freeze on your spot. He approaches you with intentions of killing you, but takes a look at you, and looks surprised (even scared, perhaps?). He lowers his weapon, turns around and goes to the next classroom, killing everyone there. You're the only one left alive. Why did he spare you? What did he see?

Umn... Shock? No offence intended either way, but... why have you hi-jacked my fiction thread?  ???
It's not an RPG or a collective writing exercise.  :P

this is the general roleplaying section, but if that is your wish to have me to leave, so be it.

Shock, look at the subset-pages on the top of this one. General Roleplaying --> General Fan Fiction and Art. My poetry thread is also in this board.
