Question: Hey, do you think this is good!?
I'm going to make it up on the spot so there might be a lot of errors!. All I want to know is if I have good ideas for a novel or something!. Maybe just a short story!.


Moving rock!. Shaking ground!. Someone was moving the earth!.
Tyran woke up from his sleep!. He didn't know what time of day it was, but new that it was early!. His sister was doing her daily training!. Tyran had always hated her training!. Everyday it woke him up feeling exhausted!.
He stood up quickly and felt light headed!. He sat back down and looked at his hands!. They were full of blisters and deep cuts!. Most of them infected and starting to turn purple!. Two nights ago he got in a fight with Edgar and his gang!. They surrounded him and decided to "give him a lesson" after he sent one of Edgar's friends to The Cave!. While Tyran was walking home from the lake, Edgar and his gang popped up from the bushes and circled around him!. They pushed him around and cut his hands!. Bail and Clark held him still while Edgar slowly burned both of Tyran's hands!. It was agony!. He wanted to shout out for help, but Clark was covering his mouth!. He wanted to protect himself, but he wasn't near any water and his hands were weak with pain!. All he could do was just wait until they stopped!.
When they got bored and left him alone, Tyran fell to the ground clutching his hands!. He was shaking of fear and tears were forming in his eyes!.
Finally, he got up and slowly walked towards his house!. When he came home, he walked to his bed -not caring to take off his shoes- and fell on it!. He was tired and weak from pain!. He closed his eyes and fell asleep!.
He remembered that night clearly!. Before Edgar left him alone, he said that he shouldn't mess with him and his gang!. Tyran already new that, but he didn't expect something like that night!.


I think I'm going to stop there!. Yea, I didn't explain things like why Tyran needed water around him or where the fire came from!. But that would be good for some suspense right!? So what would I need to have help on!?

thanks!

This is just a summary of some poor experience, you need to really get in there! Describe more, be a movie camera on the scene and give more details about everything around them, do close up scenes where you describe the assailants and then far away scenes where you describe the horizon!. Make it real!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That was really good!.
What you did explain was explained with detail!.
What I'm thinkin is you need to put more in!.
Like using more emotional words for the pain!.

It has potential but it definitely feels rushed!. It needs to be flushed out more!.

Questions I had as I read: Why would he wake up exhausted every morning!? Wouldn't he be used to his sister's training by now!? If it's two days later since his fight why hasn't he taken care of his hands!? Why would a gang slice up someone's hands!?

Anyway, most of those questions will be answered when you write the full story!. Keep going!
