Besties

March 30, 2016 8 Comments

BESTIES

By Khulya

We’d known each other for so long. We were besties and I had always loved us, even though no one else could accept our bond. I don’t understand why he suddenly felt so offended.

Everything started in the corridors of the hospital where we were living together. Ted said he doesn’t need me anymore. He tried to abandon me! Our undesirable friend—Sam—soon appeared. Ted didn’t want to come back and Sam wouldn’t leave me alone, no matter how hard I tried.

So, I killed both of them.

Only one body was found at the psychiatric hospital the next day.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.

    A chilling split-personality tale. A taut, satisfying story, well-told in a very few words.
