Prison bars fell down in front of him – trapped. The voices grew louder and began to infiltrate his space that he had only just regained from the burning fires of hell.

“Please make it stop!” he cried, gripping the glass so hard that it cut into his palm.

His head throbbed as he pushed the glass deeper and deeper into his skin, drowning out the voices and fear with pain.

Pain. Pain was the solution. He couldn’t expect the punishment when he was in pain – so that was how he would block it.
Raising the shard and trying to ignore the real voice and the fictional ones, he brought it down into his chest.

Watching as blood stained his shirt, he heard the distinct sound of wood smashing downstairs.

“Feel the pain! Godamnit!”

As the footfalls now came from inside the house, he held the glass firmly in place, hoping that it was all a dream – hoping the pain could wake him.

“God! What happened to you?!”

Noelle rushed into the room.

“Louis? Louis, what happened to you?”

Hearing his name felt like heaven – her voice was heaven. But the moment was hell.

He lay unable to talk to her as blood slowly left his body.

This was punishment – judgement. Fear was no longer a temporary emotion in his last moments.

It was constant.

I apologise for how bad that story is...and I may edit it in the coming days. However, if it can count as any excuse, the reason for my rushed effort is that my activity on these forums may dwindle in the coming days, ie. Friday and Saturday, as I'm away then, and then next week I'm preparing to return to school and then I am back at school, when I seem to have very little time.
So, again, sorry if the quality is not good enough - I will try and improve on it.

I would like to take the fear of being alone, as in autophobia, if that's all right :) .

I'll hopefully finish writing that and put it up by the end of this week as I already have a solid idea of how in particular I want to write about the fear of being alone, so hopefully that goes as planned for me.

The emotion anthology certainly was a marvel to me, and I have no doubts this will progress greatly as well. I'm looking forward to it! Just your friendly neighborhood team player.

“Why?”

“For goodness sake, Jason, you’re twenty-five. You should have a girlfriend by now, and this is the only method you’re usually willing to try to get one.”

“Do I have to?”

“If you don’t want to live alone by the time you retire.”

“Fine,” Jason muttered bitterly.

As the man in his mid-twenties walked into the restaurant and sat down at a table with his friend, a number of thoughts rushed through his head. It wouldn’t be that bad, he reassured himself. Most girls weren’t that… pretty, anyway. He turned to face Aaron. “This is a bad idea,” he murmured, sighing and scratching his head. “What if-“

“Hi there, may I take your order?” As Jason spun around in his chair, his eyes beheld a young woman, probably still in her late teens or early twenties. Her blue eyes seemed to resemble the ocean waves, and were sparkling with patience and interest. Her waist-length brown hair fell carelessly in waves upon her shoulders as she gripped a notebook in one hand; a pen was poised in the other. Most men would think she was the perfect woman; however, for Jason, this was the opposite.

“Uh-” His eyes wandered to the four corners of the room, searching for an exit. “I – I have to g-go.” He stood up, his legs shaking, and before Aaron could get a firm grip on his arm, he rushed out of the waitress’ sight. He finally managed to get out of the restaurant and onto the pavement when he ran into another woman.

“You must be Jason, right? Hey, I’m Annabel,” she greeted, her plump lips forming into a smile as she outstretched a hand. She had a completely different appearance to the waitress; her hair was blonde and straight with strawberry highlights, and her eyes were the purest shade of green. Jason stared at her for a brief moment before his body began to tremble once more. “S-sorry,” he stuttered as he turned – but was stopped in his tracks.

“Hello? What is wrong with you?” Annabel questioned with a hint of both concern and anger. Jason was now facing the young woman who was gripping both his shoulders, and her appearance was fully visible. “I- I can explain...” Jason’s voice was now barely above a whisper as he collapsed onto the floor, his eyes snapping shut.

“Are you feeling all right?” was the first thing he heard as soon as he awoke in the hospital. When his eyes clicked open, he was greeted with a pair of deep brown eyes, their eyelashes heavily coated with mascara. Curls of auburn surrounded her neck, snaking their way down to Jason’s face and tickling his chin. Before long, he was once again lost in unconsciousness.

It's a bit rushed, but I hope it's okay. School starts in 2 days. D:

The edits were the result of a proofread. :P
