Hello everyone! This is my first post, and I will be posting a short paragraph I wrote last winter. This is not my book that I am writing, just part of a short story. Hope you enjoy!
I pushed my horse into a fast gallop as the first raindrops splashed softly down on the dry grass of the field. I glanced up at the blackened sky, and pushed the horse even further; trying in vain to reach the other end of the long field before the storm hit. The rain soon started to pour on me, soaking me instantly. The wind blew my hair across my face, making it hard for me to see the way. Swords of lightning split through the sky, and a moment later thunder followed. I felt my horse flinch underneath me as the sky light up with more lightning. The thunder crashed above me louder than I've ever heard, and I fought desperately to keep my horse under control, but to no avail. He shot forward at his highest speed. I ducked down and held on to his neck tightly. Turning my head I looked behind me at the sky, to see a bolt of lightning break the angry clouds, and traveled halfway down to the sky. My eyes widened, and I felt my own fear rising within me. I turned my gaze back on our course to see that we were almost to the forest, at the far end of the field. The sky was now as dark as night, and the rain poured all the harder. I could just vaguely see the outcroppings of the large trees, as my horse sped toward them. It seemed like a moment later, when the horse practically flew into the forest. He ran a great distance in the wood, until he finally slowed to a steady canter. When he slowed even further, I let go, and slid down his back. The horse let out a quiet neigh, and turned around. He was much more calm now. I leaned against a tree, soaked, but thankful to be safe.

True true, you most likely won't cry. (For I'm not that good of a writer yet.) You're so funny Papa!!

You are a very good writer! Well, I don't cry that often in books. They have to be quite tragical for me to cry.

You don't see much of Dayon and Karla. They're just in the beginning. Btw, save for Dason and Landon, all the characters are related. :)

Seriously?? So Dayon, Karla, and the other girl and boy are all siblings? Or like cousins and that type? That's cool! Let me guess.....Dayon is mischievous? He looks it in one of the pictures you showed.

Hey Guys!! Sorry it took me so long to reply! I didn't see your comments because you posted them on The Storm comments and not The Soft Goodbye.
