Wanted to show you guys the first part of a novel I'm working on. Hope you enjoy.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
So there’s this boy on a summer’s night and he said,
“I am blood. You are one blissful life that I can’t fight,” his eyes filled with fear. They were a tunnel through the ice of tomorrow. The fire revealed his past and a mirror into forever. He sighed, “Life is trouble."
I saw the lightning ignite his veins. It hypnotized me and I forgot my whole life; it jolted past my soaring eyes.
“I will follow the footsteps,” he said with a glimmer, “Into the light.”
I saw him fall through black circles. The purple triangles surged around him. They intersected through the circles and created a matrix.
“They thrust for the dark sting to bleed out any sacred light left in this dark and hollow world,” The boy journeyed down canyons that lead to a creek, “That girl went in the light,” his voice was a seldom sea. “She was lost inside.” While gliding through the endless clover he glimpsed at his reflection in the slow blue water. “Are we ever guilty?” he asked his reflection. His reflection stared back. The murky water effervesced.
“Now I know it by the time I’ve shown it,” it replied through the slow waves. “We are guilty but I can’t believe it.
The waves muffled the voice in the tide that had been shown. Petals fell onto the creek from the native trees. They held their branches together in harmony as they watched from high above the creek. They reached for the boy. The water circled around him. A blue fire burned miraculously underneath. It was a sign. He searched in the night as they shred through vacant time.
“You've searched for a speck of light.” His reflection said blissfully to me. “Do not fret, though you have instead found a lightning strike; you will remain in the passing of time. You will always bear the memories that she had gone to find."
“I'm shy of what I’ll find,” I said.

He ran behind the tree. His reflection materialized from inside the fire. The trees rocked. I was out of luck.
"Shed us some time,” his reflection said to the tree, though it was too late. It floated up into the night. The water became metallic. It shattered and rang shallowly. It sounded like embers had burned inside a crystal lantern. The boy was taken by the branches.
“I must go now but don’t worry,” his reflection seemed to be talking to me again.
“She will be found in the place of your memories,” It faded out of sight. I couldn’t believe my eyes. In the dead of night the words echoed through the solemn leaves,
“Carve my fate.”
The roots extended. A bridge formed across the water. I followed it into a damp meadow where I could see countless sparks in the endless silky sky. The boy said to me from up in the sky,
“Are you still looking in the dark?” His voice was familiar, “It never made much sense that you wander blindly through the night,” he said. I tried to reach him. I didn’t get too far. I became trapped in pearly petals. They spiraled around me as the day nearly ended. I could no longer move.
“Search in the light, “He landed on the petals, “Even when lost in the dark,” his voice dragged on, “light will remain to guide us to the Promised Land.” It was though time had frozen. Ice caps plummeted down from above. The sky warped into shadowy twine.
"Is his shed on fire or submerged by the water? I can’t remember," I said to myself as a gray owl fled past a ladder of ivy, "Are you real or are you not?" I asked. It soared up towards the sky and evanesced amidst the frozen sun. In the tide I remember that an ominous black hand silently pulled him down.
He fell through the birch tree ashes. He became devoid like every ember that floated through the petals.
I could hear the words echo again somewhere in the night,
“Carve my fate.”
I feel like I'm going to dissolve. The shed burned on. I didn’t know if I could save him but ran in to try

I found his body too late. On a summer’s night the blood was swallowed by a void of our own creation.
He said inanimately,
“I am blood,” his eyes were empty, “You are one blissful life I can’t fight,” The void spun inward, “I killed you but couldn't tempt your soul.” The fire left only ashes. The boy’s body was sucked into the void. He looked at me in tears and said,
“Carve my fate.”
In this paradoxical world, I remember a momentary sparkle in the void. A feather had fallen down from it.
He’s left on the side of the scorched land.
I see the blood-stained knife, I don’t know why, I don’t know.
He’s been crying long before he was dying.
I hear the sounds in the cemetery. The owl was uh humming. Why did he have to? The words come to me like they always did in that field of roses. I’m pulled down and all around the meadow. The water returns to put out the fire. I’m underneath the steeples of land there. I travel the highlands. The owl revealed what he saw. I couldn’t understand when he said,
“I don’t love you, I searched in the tide and I’ve shown it to you,” The owl perched on the remnants. “It’s been all around you.”
I watched as the lightning shattered the ice into fragments. My memory blurred.
“Where am I?” I said in an instant, “This place is familiar.”
“You will find me on this island,” the owl fluttered in the silent breeze. “I float around you and I’ll fall down too.” The breeze became heavy.
“I believe in you,” He said. The ground rumbled. It then shattered like glass. I fell through the sadness. The words echoed once more,
“Carve my fate.”
