behind the door(take out comma) a bookshelf sits,
that is one. And in the passage about the books there is an extra one, I think. Oh and about the plaque thing....it says on the door there is a purple and golden plaque....it should be purple and gold, golden is a description, not a color. I should probably not be doing this right now, my head feels like it's encased in bubble wrap right now, I am having trouble concentrating.

I agree with Iam, it's a great piece of work. I also agree with you, not liking the "me's and my's" I think if you can work around that, make it less personal that would make the sense of estrangement that the way you tell about it even stronger.

Agreed on the chamber... solitude is good... I think just the single word is cool...

The ending, it might be better if instead of saying that it's always locked... Well... I kind of liked the first ending: If you would have called... it would still have been locked... this is MY room... kind of thing

Like after seeing it in all it's intimate detail, you're leaving the visitor outside the door...

how about this?





With a sweet and sour mixture of Tori Amos’ voice and the smell of Lemon, there is a door. A purple and gold plaque says what’s behind the door. As you near the door, another voice reaches your ears. The voice is singing sweetly with amazing skill. What wonders lie behind the door?

Behind the door a book shelf sits, holding adventures. Harper Lee is leaning, with a flirty posture, against James Patterson. Stephen King sticks out among John Grisham. Small stuffed animals hold the books up as they are scattered around.

Elephants and bears snooze among a jungle of pillows. Guitar fingerings lay on a poster above the jungle filled chair. A gift is tucked away behind it. The dresser leads to a night stand a man made his daughter years ago. A fat elephant is tucked inside covering more notebooks and loose papers with writings and verses on them. A game cube rests on top of a playstation.

After the night stand, is a bed. The knitted blanket lies soundly over the sheets. The blanket is from and elderly woman, with love in every inch, making it special beyond anything anyone could possess. With a mixture of blue and purple colors, it adds a bit of the girl to her bed that was previously chosen by her mother.

Below the window, a white cabinet has plopped itself down. Inside the closed doors, lay notebooks of poems, songs, and stories. Forgotten memories written to be explored on a day the clouds decide to weep. The stereo has tackled the cabinet and stays resting on top. A picture of a dance lays tucked between the speaker and CD holder. With a smile on the faces, it produces a great memory of happiness.

The camera angle shifts exposing the guitar in the corner. Standing proudly, it shines and brags at the whole room. How brave it is to be so close to the land of unknown mysteries. The closet door holds pictures of a monkey and elephant. These were composed by the hand of a thirteen-year-old. The desk sits heavily next to the closet. Papers are thrown about. Bits of stories are scattered with CDs on top of them and pencils falling off the desk onto the floor.

Above the desk is a bulletin board. Pictures of a mother and daughter are surrounded by pictures of the girl in her younger years. CD holders trap the board in. The band of music holds in the board. If it escaped, all the memories would be lost.

Sticking just above the horizon of the desk, you can see the top of a black music stand. Music is set on it and is held up by a silver instrument. The flute fell into her hands from her mother. It's very special and dear to her for that reason and that reason alone. Being given a gift of music is the best thing one could receive.

The plaque reads “Solitude”. Entry is forbidden, for the mysteries that lie inside are not to be seen.




someone help me with that ending...it's killin me...

Love what you did to it, with the editing of the me's and my's

...the ending... I don't know, it's too distant now... I think because of the distance in the story, something really in your face and personal would make the description more stark, add strenght to the piece that comes before:

"you can't enter, you're not invited" or something rude and in your face like that...
