Well, leaving a link or copying and pasting would be violating some copyright laws for most stories!. I really like Edgar Allan Poe's short stories!. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is cool too, and it's in public domain so you can find a link on wikipedia!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its only a few chapters of a book:
“Brianna…” my name was called in a low raspy voice!. I turned around so fast I thought I gave myself whiplash!. My heart started to race!. No one was there!. Suddenly there was footsteps right near me!. “Just my imagination” I said allowed to calm myself down!. I got up and started to swiftly walk back to my car!. All of a sudden saw someone running at amazingly fast speed!. “Just my imagination, just my imagination!.” Someone was breathing heavily behind me!. I knew it wasn’t mine; it was off key with mine!.
I was now running!. The footsteps coming closer and closer!. In just a blink there was a man in front of me!. My body shocked from the unexpected person I lost feeling in my legs and fell to the ground!. “Hello” The deep voice said!. I spoke very low, “hi!.” I looked up at the man!. He was tall, thin, and had many scars!. I gulped so loud he probably heard it!. His eyes were deep purple and they had a red tint!. My heart was beating so fast I felt it trying to pierce through my skin!. Slowly, I got up from the floor and brushed the dirt and grass off of me!. Surrounded by the gloomy forest, I turned around!. He reached for my wrists so fast his hands were invisible to my eyes!. I dodged away from his reach, but I lost my balance, and I nearly fell to the ground!. He was looking at me with a smirk on his face, as if he knew all my movements!. And I was watching his!. He was in front of me now, and behind me was the river!.
He was coming closer to me and I was walking backwards taking large steps!. He grabbed my wrists!. I screamed!. “Let me go now! Get your hands off of me! Get away!” I yelled!. He pulled me to the cliff!. 'He pulled me to the very edge of the cliff, until my toes hung over the edge!. He finally left go of my wrists!. They were red, burning, and swollen!. He put his hand out and the water started to bubble and make huge waves!. My jaw dropped and my eyes were wide!. My whole body tensed and he laughed at my shock!. He spun me around, now I was facing him!. I was guessing he wanted to see my expression!. “Good luck Bri!.” He said in an evil tone and I was shocked he knew my name!. I didn’t have anything on that said my name!. No necklace, bracelet absolutely nothing!. He started chanting words that I couldn’t understand; he was saying them too fast!. After a few sentences he grabbed me tight and pushed me off the cliff!.
I screamed at the top of my lungs and in seconds I went into the wavy mysterious river with a huge splash!. The river was much deeper than it looked from the cliff!. I was at the bottom of the lake; dark water surrounded me!. The only trace of light was all the way at the surface!. I barely could see the man who pushed me off!. I tried with all the energy I had left to swim to the top!. I couldn’t!. The waves and everything was pulling me under!. The only choice was to drown!. I couldn’t do it!. I didn’t want to die, not now at least!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
