It's called "Fragments", and it's really sturctural and can be quite confusing. I just want to see if people will understand it...so tell me what you think of it, please?

The girl smiled sadly as she walked away. Woods stretched behind her, dark and unfulfilling. Her father was staring after her; she could feel his contemptuous gaze piercing her back.
She felt no regret for what she had done. Her father deserved it and she knew it. A bad childhood, nightmares every night, her life and future always hindered by shadows of the past.
Why hadn’t he ever left her alone? Why did her memories always follow her?
Out of her line of vision she knew her father was punching something, expressing his anger in some way.
“Is he remembering all those bad things he did to my mother? Is he remembering all the things he had planned for me, would have forced me into? Does he regret them?” she wondered. She felt the urge to look behind her. The creaking of branches and the wind rustling behind her seemed deafening. She began to turn around.
She turned, slowly, slowly, until she could begin to see a black trench coat.
And then she was hit with a flood. And all she could feel was hurt and regret and who she used to be.
~~~~~~~~

Veronica smiled sadly as she walked away. She took stock of herself: she felt totally secure, if only a little sad.
Veronica concentrated on nothing but the moment she was currently residing in, the step she was taking at that moment. She stared at the leaves under her feet.
Her father had mistreated her mother all those years, and now, right now, she was mistreating him.
Veronica could only feel the wind on her cheeks, she had shut her eyes. “I wonder if Mother is proud of me, wherever she is.” She wondered.
Rocks scattered under Veronica’s feet, and she could feel hair whipping against her face. “No regrets, don’t turn back.” She mentally chanted to herself.
It wasn’t until she stumbled over a root with her eyes closed that Veronica was hit by a flood.
She might not be able to see behind her, but she couldn’t see where she was going either.
~~~~~

Veronica Donahue smiled sadly as she walked away. She did not deliberately control anything; she simply said what she had to say to her father about all those years of hurt, and then she had left, feeling however she liked. Veronica was free.
The only thing she could see was a horizon stretching out to forever, it seemed almost comically metaphorical.
Veronica was eighteen years old, and her mother had died the year before. Her mother had been tricked into an abusive marriage by her father, and the doom of a housewife’s life was expected of her also. Veronica smiled at the thought of not having restrictions.
In front of her there was a clump of maple trees, and a small stream that bubbled cheerfully. And when Veronica stretched her neck, craned it forward and squinted her eyes, she could see her friend Luke waiting for her in his bright red car. He had come for support.
And then, the flood hit her. As she stepped out of the woods into the fading sunset, she was hit by the most powerful flood of realization she thought possible. She didn’t need to look behind her, or at her feet, or shut her eyes, she simply needed to look ahead, and she saw all that she could be.
~~~~~
Veronica smiled as she stepped into the woods. She saw a black trench coat waiting for her. She stepped forward and began to speak; Veronica knew what to do, and she swelled with joy as her path, and more importantly the way she would walk it, fell perfectly into place.

End.

they would change? I get confused sometimes reading some of these answers and questions. It seems like SOME of you think that, when God, Jesus whoever comes down and proves to the world they are there, that we will just drop everything and bow down... I personally wouldnt, so i dont understand the "You will be proven wrong! and will regret how you lived your life" blah blah... umm, no I wont actaully. Just because I dont believe in God doesnt mean i was living a bad life in the first place, and if its not good enough for Him "when he comes back" than oh well. Why would I bow down to someone like that?


I think i rambled a bit.

I need to find out what is going on with my body (long story) and my doc ordered a blood test. I want to make sure the test will be as accurate as it can be! Should I avoid any over the counter meds? Avoid certain drinks/food? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

I live in India, world/s largest democracy where most things are in shambles in spite of a sincere Government in power under Honorable Manmohan Singh who appears to be chained and suffocating. If this question is put to me, I will unhesitatingly say, United States of America, a country that unfortunately is looked upon as a hostile power to many other countries.

So there's this kind of funny, attractive guy in my english class named Dan. I always feel like he's staring at me. I'm very quiet, and he's outgoing. Opposites attract I guess? Anyways, he was bragging to me asking what a 14/14 means, and winked at me and smiled. He always asks me for paper and what not, problem is i'm too shy? How can I heat this up? And is shyness weakness to men?

I'm having an argument with my roommate about juking. I think it's when you feint one direction but go the other way, but he claims that if you jump over a guy that it's also considered a juke. Can someone please tell one of us what a juke is? Can you also tell us what jumping over someone is called (I thought it was called a hurdle, but according to my roommate, I'm wrong)?

I naturally want my son genitally mutilated like any other caring parent but I feel the Jewish,Christian and Muslim traditional mutilation of the foreskin would be inappropriate for my atheist baby son, I was wondering where I could get a ring fitted through his frenum instead...anyone know, will doctors perform this unnecessary but important operation?

I'm not saying that god is not all-loving, I'm saying there is no god so don't give me the usual 'if suffering is used as evidence to disprove the existence of a loving God, then equally any good that happens in the world ought to be used as an evidence to support that there is a loving God.'

I think everything that happens, **** or otherwise is just part and parcel of life or mere coincidences. Convince me otherwise pls :)
