Dark, cold, wet, alone in a cave far from the ruins of my homeland. Everything thrust away to practically nothing. No one survived. I shall be condemned for all eternity if I live that long.

Curse these powers.

They are a curse, not some heaven sent gift from above. God has cursed me to walk this earth to destroy anything or anyone I come across to. I wish I could rid myself of this inferior curse. Why God?

Why give me the ability to live if all I am made for is to destroy?

What is my true purpose for being?

Have you, God, purposely made a living time bomb?

A Monster?

An exiled man to live his life in pain and misery for all of his days? "Answer me God!!! Why?!?!?!? Why am I truly here? And why have these powers cursed me so?" I screamed out to the darkness of the tree-crowded sky, waiting for my answer, waiting for hope to come as I had all my life. "Do not fret young warrior. Your answer will come to you soon. I promise." a voice said, reminding me that someone was still able to watch over me.

I had lost everything. My friends, family, towns I had lived in- everything dear to me was gone- and all I had left is the clothes on my back, my cursed powers, and my name that my dear mother had given to me eighteen years ago, Aden.


The author's comments:
I was bored in my computer class and got on to write something so I could let some steam off. I also did this as a practice of writing from a man's point of view. Thank for reading and never put done your pencil or pen, no matter what people may tell you.

I am not really sure if I will continue this story, but I am thinking about it.

Thank you. I understand where you are coming from when you told me about the "overdramatic" puncuation in my story. I will definetly take that in account and try to do better next time.

A picture is worth a thousand words, however it takes a real artist to turn words into pictures.<br /> <br /> Have you heard about the new Lebron Iphone, you have to set it on vibrate because it doesn&#039;t have any rings

You leave the reader wanting more which is great. However I was wondering about the emotion it seems a bit flat, it may be because of the difference of gender between you and your protagonist. I see a lot of potential in this piece even though you wrote it because you were bored. The dialouge is great. I applaud your story

 

If it does not bother you could you The Reaper part 1 please.

This is interesting. Now I'm wondering what his powers are. Some things I would change: I'd get rid of the excessive exclamation points and question marks when he's screaming at God. I know he's really upset, but there are more effective ways to show that and I think his words speak for themselves. The punctuation overload makes the tone a little, I don't know, unprofessional or overdramatic, and I can't take him seriously. Also, God's reply should be in another paragraph. Another thing I liked---the ending, where he introduces his name. Original. :) Would you mind reading/rating/commenting on my story "Ilya's Tale, Part 1"? Thank you!
