• My life at fourteen years was a blur because I was on a creative writing high. I don't remember living it so much as guiding it. In this stage of my life I'd written my First complete literary composition, a narrative saga called All the Broken Sunrises.
    Here I am to either weekly or daily post successive parts of that narrative. How it is recieved will govern if I continue.
    It's a very personal work that I now realize was subconsciously telling me things a bout myself, so I hope it gives you an idea of how my 14yr old mind worked.
    Btw, it is set in the distant future and so I'd invented a few words.

    Part One

    Prologue

    The voices spoke as if there were no hovering
    ears in the fore and the back.
    The first was that of cold-lipped father,
    the second of a white-faced stranger
    (his visage I could not see).
    Their discourse met me not in its entirety.

    “I am wont to leave him be.” said father.

    -Although, to solidate* him
    while the thread of his shirt unravels
    is wrong.

    -You know nothing.

    -He is rousted?

    -I am unaware to his state, but often
    he sits with dawn for moments –
    flickers as ashes aglow –
    then descends in an hour.
    It might now be the afterfall*.

    -He’s yet holding the roots.

    -He’s yet yanking them.

    -But the sap is green.

    -The leaves are fallen.

    -The ground is lively.

    -It is frozen.

    -The case shouldn’t be prepped.

    -This should be made, polished.

    -Have you no wish for succession?

    -It is one’s succession
    that braids the other’s rope.

    -Have you the rope?

    -I have.

    -Have you the succession?

    -I have.

    -As long?

    -… I have.

    -Throw where least the cattle.

    -I threw the bone and fed the beasts.

    -Why must you tarry the suffering
    when it is a cup with fire to the brim?

    -I will guard my fires and dampen the pain.

    -But he is your educated page.

    -A page he says.

    -A page, yes.

    -I haven’t a leaf.
    The winter is cold and my heart it is fatigued.

    -Have yet the heart
    for the blood of thy betrothed.

    -I haven’t a half else, I haven’t a leaf.
    All is passed, all is wasted.
    I am in remorse for ghosts.
    Thy purpose is told.

    -I shall lead him?

    -He should be surveyed.
    The doe collapses shortly
    by toxin of dragons.

    -I shall lead, then, thy ghosts—

    -Silence, the grave is entombed.

  • I like it. It’s different and I’d love to see more


  • If anyone's confused with what my word choice signifies, it's that I'm using a different form of imagery. The white faces stranger for example means it is blank. A stranger I cannot see.


  • Also I forgot to include the glossary of words I'd invented or derived from actual words.
    These are all I feel I need to explain.

    • Gardenian: having natural beauty, without the aid of cosmetic products.

    • Frère Champagne Mille: a French poet, whose poems were also synatic.
