Wretched Me (WIP Short)

I'm back and here with another story for blogbattlers. This is part of my WIP story which is the story I have been working on. Its just a small part, but I hope you like it.

*******


We parked outside the police station. The last place I thought I'd ever be. I felt like a wreck. The scenarios of what could happen were going through my head making me shake with nervous energy. 

“Don’t look so wretched.” Colter eyed me. “Play it cool.”

Play it cool. Easy for him to say. I got out of the pickup and managed to get it together, I thought about how I dealt with nerves before a big track competition. I was different and it didn’t matter, I would win. It was better to stay calm and take in every detail. I looked up at the sign in red lettering: Delta’s Police Department.

The place had long windows in the front. We walked in together. I was glad Colter was here. It made me feel like I was a kid. Who'd gotten into trouble and was here with an adult so she could apologize. I wasn’t a kid anymore, this was bigger than a minor offence. There was murder in the air and I somehow was involved. Which no one knew about yet. So I had nothing to worry about. I was wrong. I'm wrong about a lot of things.

We found ourselves in the detective’s office. It wasn’t at all fancy, it was just a side room where they had stuffed him along with a bunch of boxes. But if I remembered correctly he was a private detective so this was just an office. And he was just using it, he most likely had demanded for one and they gave in, giving him some old storage office. His name was Holstrum. Last name anyway. He sat down looking at us. I noticed he looked tired. I hoped he didn’t see through my disguise as he had a picture of me on the table. It was a little old. I was glad the leather jacket in the picture was not the same one I was wearing. I wore that one a lot. My clothing choice didn’t change much.

Also I will be back to posting on Sunday.

June Investigation 2020

The month is over. It was a really good month, so much has happened.



It's been getting warmer and not much rain....


I started the 100 for 100 Go Teen Writers summer challenge. It's been going good. I've gotten around 5k written so far.  Here is a bit of what my story is all about.


I'm still reading Ben-Hur 😅 I want to finish it. I suppose I did read the book of Psalms. The whole book; so that takes some reading time as well.


Everything has been busy with riding and getting ready for fair, which I hope will still happen.


Nala^ Me and Nala have been working on some obstacle course stuff. She really loves to learn new things. 


Went to a branding. It was very cool. A lot different then our branding.


 Yeah I learned how to wrangle a calf, though I just took some pictures first.


Also got to see a friend's goats. 


Went to town and took some pictures with this cool plane. That's Dad^...  For my sister's grad photos mostly.


Me sister. She got done with school this month. 


 On Father's Day we got to ride in this coach that has been going across the state of Montana.


It was supper cool and such a neat experience.  Another thing to mark off the list. LOL


Me with the plane too. It's a biplane bty. I love the cool Reto setting on my camera 


How was your month? 
Been doing any writing?

My WIP //// Isolation Aesthetics

I've been working on this story, it doesn't really have a name, I call it, Isolation story as of now, it will change at some point. If you have an idea on a name, let me know!



This story started out as a short story idea that I hand for this contest that had a prompt : isolation. I didn't do the contest cuz it cost money, but I thought I would write something anyway. Now it has become a full story and I am writing it for 100 for 100 that Go Teen Writers is putting on. It's a fun story. I already have 8k words, though some of this I started before the 100for100. I'm kinda writing it by the seat of my pants. So I'm not all sure what will be happening. Enjoy a taste of the story......

Story Themes:

First point of view, mystery, darkness, light, journey, motorcycles, sarcastic, missing, hidden, sibling arc, leather, running, daring, rebel, professors, police, dad problems, arguing, taking a stand, loner, isolation, pickup, girl switch, mix up, deception, murder, kidnapped, bossy brother, past of secrets,


Want to see more check out my pinterest board.

pics from pinterest or canva.

The Characters: 

Felicity Jones

main character


Motorcycle girl, leather jackets, athlete, runner, college student, loner, rebel, blond, gray eyes, smart, watchful,


Colter Jones 

second character 


Older brother, pickup guy, down to earth, blue jeans, blond, brown eyes, caring, has his own secrets, trying not to be a rebel, 


Still working on other characters....

The snips: 



A black room. A white paper. A soft sound. Was it always this way?
Was something supposed to be happening?

........

Oh. Well that puts a twist on things. My head was starting to hurt. My eyes drifted down to the desk. I saw a picture of Frances and almost flipped out.

.......


“Who was this professor?”


“I don’t know.” 
........


 I racked my hands through my ringlets of blond hair. Where do I go from here? Connelsvill?
Where my last memory was before I found myself in the dark room with the paper?
This should be fun. I hoped my brother would go along with this.
I looked around for cars and broke out running.
.......

You know how some things just feel like home? Like a song you love and hear it again after a long time. That’s what my motorcycle was like to me.

~~~~~~~


Music:

I've got a playlist on my spotify, you should be able to find it at; WIP: isolation or my name, Rakayle A. Sorry I don't know how to put that up that up on my blog.

Here is few songs anyway.







I feel like I'm just getting started with this story, so I'm still figuring things out.

What are you working on?
Do you like stories about siblings?
What do you think of this story?

Tell me below! Love to hear your thoughts!!!!
also happy Father's Day!!!
