Hi everyone! I have a short for you to read! Critisize the best you can, because thats the only way for progress! Hehe.
In the beginning there was black, and cold. A heavy darkness I felt like I could blow away, and yet it always lingered in my eyes. A cold so chilling my bones shivered in my body. The beginning was the worst feeling imaginable...to be so detached from reality that you don't know the difference between up and down, and a loneliness that could turn a soul to stone. I walked on; or what I can best describe as a walking. It was sort of awkward walking-on-water feeling, but with nothingness below. Rather unnerving if you ask me. I walked for so long in the void of my head, wondering if I had gone completely mad or not. A light from what seemed like heaven; or an interrogation chair, expanded from above me stopping just below my feet. I saw nothing on the horizon, nothing above or below me. Hysteria started to well up from the depths of me...like everything I have ever feared rising to my conscious mind. Frantically I yelled and yelled for anyone, or anything. That's when I saw her.
She couldn't have been real. There was nothing about her that seemed possible. She was completely void of colors with two exceptions that stood out instantly. Her dress was as azure as the bluest of blue waters, and even seemed to ripple much like it. Her eyes matched her dress, and simply entranced me. A mesmerizing combination that lured me out of my already loose sense of reality. I couldn't look away...she was everything I had ever wanted and more. She moved slightly and I snapped back to my senses. I looked at her face and noticed that her makeup had been smeared like an ebony paint. She had been crying, but how did I not hear or see her earlier? The enigma moved closer again, and I started losing it. My heart is racing and I am stunned. She grabbed my hand so softly I wouldn't have noticed had I not been studying her every movement. Her hand was so warm, radiating warmth the every nook and cranny of my body and soul. The most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on, and she chooses me to be with. How lucky I am!
By now I had no idea how much time had slipped through the cracks of this reality...nor did I care, but I knew my time was running out. My precious time with this goddess was draining away. She leaned into me, pressing her body to mine and whispered, "Don't leave me." Her electric words left me paralyzed in her grasp...and yet I felt so secure. She whispers, "I love you dear," and clutches me for what seems to be dear life. My life, and my very existence. My scrambled mind couldn't seem to comprehend what was happening. Had I died without knowing? Was I in heaven? Who is she? I lowered my head just enough to meet her forehead, and she rose up to meet my lips. Her smell was so sweet too. All around us small chunks of snow billowed in the desolate depth of black and white. Raining from an invisible sky, onto a place that didn't exist. A place that doesn't exist. What did it matter? I had this angel in my arms! I had the world in the palm of my hand! I had everything, and nothing.
Notes of music swam into my hearing. It was old 50's music. What was this?
She giggled and squeezed my hand. I spun that feisty vixen into dance. I was the most happy I had ever been. To think I had just been wandering in a hollow shell alone, and now I am with the girl of my dreams. Sweet are rewards to those who search for them. We could have danced until the clock didn't strike again, but it would be ending soon. Needless to say I didn't hold back any longer. I no longer feared the black, and no longer was I chilled to the soul. No longer was I alone.
Too late did that thought enter my mind. The snow had long stopped, and I could hear the sound dying softer and softer. Silence now. Her eyes were careening with tears from those ever-clear eyes of hers. She and I both knew it was the end. "Don't leave me alone again, please!" , she whispered hurriedly. This world wouldn't allow me any longer. The instant my lips converged with hers, I awoke in a heavy sweat. It was a dream? I should had known. Now it all made sense...why she had looked so sad, and why she acted like we had been with each other before. My dreams are the key. The key to unlock the greatest of treasures. I don't understand though, because I can still smell her on me...as if she was there the whole time! I don't understand why it wasn't real. Why this girl couldn't be laying next to me now in a solemn slumber; dreaming the same thing?
I arrived at school for the first day since the summer. I was pathetic, a massive wreck of a man. Lost in my own mind..searching for the girl who stole my heart. Stumbling through the blackness and cold of my mind, seeking remnants of happiness. I am a blank shell of what I was now, lacking what made me human. Quietly, I walked to my first class of the day. A day I'll never forget. I turned the corner, and there she was again. "Good to see you again, love."
No name yet, but I was thinking it might be a good serious short animation. I however am a terrible animator.
