She stands in silhouette against the flames, her red hair whipping about her face, blackened by the soot. The tracks of her tears shining in the half-light, she looks back to me and smiles, the crazy grin again. I smile back, sharing the moment. The heat is overwhelming, but she just stands there, sweat dripping down her, her skin beautiful. He

that one's really beautiful.
i love the way that when you write, you don't give anything away apart from just very strong images. it's not so much story-telling as artistry.
thanks for making my friends list interesting to read today!

So...what does she whisper in your ear?

we'll never know...

I really really liked this one. I love how you can turn a story around so completely and yet maintain such a perfect flow.

If you like being inspired by other writers, I have a recommendation for you. I don't know if you've ever heard of her, but Jeannette Winterson writes a lot of really great stuff. My favorite of hers is "Written on the Body" but she also has many other greats. I hope you check her out if you haven't already.

Ack, I spelled her first name wrong: Jeanette

Sorry, I'm a bit of a spelling freak...heh

Don't worry about it!I'll look into her! cheers for the recommendation
