Coming Down Before Carraba's: The Place I Can Never Be

[drippedonpaper]

The crimson blood always seems to mock me. Nausea rose in my throat as I remembered each time I was left with only stains of blood, clear reminders of the emptiness of dreams. Each time I cursed this broken body incapable, it seemed, of giving, only skilled in letting go. Sometimes I wish I could let go of this part of me, this place inside that

:( I love these stories together, but damn your endings!!!!

♥ This was very well done.

I hate the ending too, in a way, but to me, The Place I Can Never Be..to me suggests sadness. "can never be" sounds like you wanted to be (to me)

Thanks for reading!:)

[beautyofgrey]

Oh, I know why it had to be. I suppose I am just a sucker for a happy ending.

Sometimes it's fun to have happy endings to read since we can't always have them in life, that is true.

Java_fiend was a great partner:) He really helped me edit until it was more polished than my usual writings.

I admit, I prize your comments. It means a lot to me that I got one from you again:)

I accidentally read java_fiend's entry first because he's on my flist, and clearly I should've started here. His ending makes much more sense now! So, oops?

Wow, though. Just wow. So sad.

Sorry. I did wonder if we should post something about it being better to start with my entry. However, part of them does happen at the same time.

It's hard to know how much to coordinate on entries but I appreciate all his help, editing and helping me look deeper to get my entry polished.

I hated "making readers sad" but, to me, "A Place that Can Never Be" just sounds sad, no matter which ideas we came up with.

However, Zia and others came up with some funny ideas, so many I am just one to look on the dark side, I don't know. Thanks for your comments!:)

Mainly I just didn't get the leap to the plane crash in his because the only reference to her being on the flight was in yours. But it was okay, as I said, once I read them both :)

I agree, I only really thought of sad things with that topic, which is probably one of the reasons I chose Precognition ;) Of course my partner's wasn't sad, either. It's been fun reading a lot of the different takes on that topic!
