Guilty Pleasure

I came here to make you dance tonight,
I don't care about my guilty pleasure for you,
Shut up cause we won't stop,
And we're getting down till the sun's coming up.
-Cobra Starship: Guilty Pleasure

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm singing to my pencil here and not a mysterious lover. So. My guilty pleasure is that I write fictional stories whenever I get a chance to. I don't really share my writing with anyone, but I am currently starting a four part series that I think will continue to get complex. Each part of the series (each short story, if you will) is the same exact story, but told from four different views and each having their own twist on the events. I prefer writing fantasy than anything else, so this will be what the genre is.

I figured it would be easier to write the beginning of each story before I just dive into one at at time. I went with a Twilight Zone affect for the extremely short prologue because.. frankly, I'm too lazy to set the scene any other way.

The Girl with the Glowing Eyes.
They didn't glow at first. Not until she opened her mind up to her true self did they begin to glow; the true self that she buried deep within her memories. It wasn't until her eyes glowed that her world fell apart from beneath her and she couldn't separate the lies from the truths.

The girl in this story doesn't fit into the norm of her society, but what would be the point of telling you a story about a boring and completely normal child? She lives in a world where male dominance still exists - women should be seen and not heard. But not her. Oh, definitely not her. She's different. The girl you see before you is defiant and strong minded. She's immortal, but she doesn't know that until her eyes glow. There's a different aura about her and this doesn't sit well with her father; however, her mother couldn't be more proud. Oh, and of course. There is love. No story is good without romance sprinkled throughout, especially one about two star crossed lovers. So let us leave our world and journey to Percnez.
~~~~~~~~~~
The Demon Who Became a God.
He didn't know he was a demon... or a god... until that girl's eyes glowed and opened up the secrets of his world. His once simple life became complex as he began to remember the past - 12,000 years before that girl's eyes glowed. 

The boy in this story is our handsome hero...or is he the villain? Nothing is good or bad, but thinking it makes it so. He's that perfect boy with a secret lying beneath the surface; a secret that he doesn't know at first. He lives in a world with masculinity is based on strength, speed and power. All of which he has. This boy is not different. He fits into the norm of his society like a cookie-cutter mold, but it is deep within him that is terrifyingly different. This is the boy that is madly in love with our lovely girl who's eyes will glow. He knows his love is true and he knows that in his heart (figurative heart) that they are meant to be together until all of the stars in the universe burn out. Nothing will stop him from being with that girl, not even that part deep within him yearning to get out. So let us leave our world and journey to Percnez.
~~~~~~~~~~
The Eater of Souls.
He was only focused on eating souls until that girl's eyes glowed and made him realize who she was. She was the missing piece of the puzzle that he had been looking for since her eyes last glowed so many years ago. He didn't regain any memory unlike the rest, he never lost it.

The demon in this story really wasn't feared until that other demon became a god. He was only the right hand man, but when that demon elevated up, he got his own promotion as the new image of nightmares. Demons look like any other person walking among us, but their eyes turn from a brilliant, enticing blue to a deep, sizzling red that burns into their victim's eyes as the suck the souls out of their limp bodies. This demon, however, is the Soul Eater that everyone fears. He doesn't kill to feed, but he focuses on the agony and pain he creates. Pain is his talent. So how does this Soul Eater tie in with our girl with the glowing eyes? Unknowing to her, she's his next target. He has been waiting for her since the last time her eyes glowed. So let us journey to Percnez.
~~~~~~~~~~
The Sister of the Girl.
She isn't her biological sister, but she didn't know that until her sister's eyes glowed. That is when she realized her part in the world as a human sister to the girl with the glowing eyes. Nothing more, nothing less. 

The sister in this story is overlooked by her peers. She is a human surrounded by humans, but caught up in the world of demons and Gods and Goddesses. She is not different than anyone else, just going through the motions and living her life as a pawn in the greater scheme of things. This sister was intertwined with the immortals by the Fates themselves. She is the keystone, however, to our stories. Unnoticed, yet the most important player. This sister reveals to us our true emotions and sees everything with an unbiased eye. She is what grounds the girl with the glowing eyes to Earth. Without this sister, the story would cease to exist and that girl's eyes would have never glowed. So let us journey to Percnez.

If you didn't fall asleep yet or bang your head against the wall at how bad that was, I congratulate you. These will be my extremely short prologues for each story for the characters. I usually never post my stuff online, so I'll consider this as a big step forward even if the story(s) ends up horrible or never finished.

  1. These are really interesting. It's exactly what I would want to read. Actually, it kind of reminds me of the Vampire Diaries (the book series...very diff from the tv show). I imagine your glowing eyes girl like Elena, yet really fresh and different too. They both are strong and have secrets they didn't even know about, but....Your character is her own. And it seems really good. I think you should definately finish the stories.

  2. I don't have names for anyone yet. Since this is played in the past, I can't use conventional names. I can't think of random letters that sound good

  3. Hmm,exactly what time period would this be in? I think, just my thought obviously your the author so you can do whatever the hell you want, but the "sister" should have a really plain name, so people underestimate her, but she's awesome. The main girl could be named Katherine, or Ophelia, Eileen, Daniela, I don't know. I guess I can't really help you out with that.

  4. I think I may be going towards the direction of tribal - like 1600s America. So before english names were brought here. So I really have no idea. Eh, but I'll figure it out eventually
