Description My world collapsing, a song playing, the notes they scramble my mind,
they swarm around me.

I see myself, walking in the school hall, just walking, listening to a song,
my song.

I see myself getting to class,
sitting down and taking off my headphones,
the song and notes dissapear, my world crumbling away even faster,
now I'm just sitting on a small floating rock with myself living beneath me.

Class is over, only a pebble remains, my sanity almost gone, in one last gaze I see myself, waiting for the train, just waiting.

The train is coming, I see myself taking a step forward, the pebble crumbles, I'm falling, falling back to my body...

The body now laying in front of a speeding train...

The flow of this feels almost like poetry, and it has distinctly dream-like feeling You're quite good at creating very different atmospheres. I like that even though it's so short, it's still a complete story (I'm completely useless at that ) Just one thing; you might want to cut back on the "..." a little. In a lot of places here it worked with the story quite well, but it removed a little bit of the impact, particularily in the last sentence.

theh, thanks, you know, the situation isn't completely a dream, do you know borderline syndrome ?
people that have it sometimes like go outside their bodies and look at themselves like they were watching a movie, a friend of mine has this syndrome and it's also her that chose the words for this story.

alrighty, tell me, wich ones of th "..." should i remove, cause in my eyes they seem fitting but i'll try to put it the way you think it'll be better and see wich i like best ^^

No, I've never heard of it, but from your description it reminds me of OBEs (out of body experiences) They sound a lot like that, only they can happen to anyone, and it's rarely more than once. Has she ever told you what it's like? It sounds so interesting.

If you like them, then leave them. After all, different writers have different tastes . They certainly helped create the atmosphere of the story. I'm not sure how to put this...it felt sort of like, after that last sentence, my mind stumbled over the extra two periods. If that makes any sense at all

she said that it's like she does things she actually doesn't want to do, like being nice to someone she knows but doesn't like anymore, she says it's like your body goes on autopilot but your mind is still working, or something like that, she couldn't realy explain it too well, what i find kinda funny is that you think of those experiences as interesting, just like i did, when she told me she had those i immediatly asked her what they were like ^^

i think i'll leave them, the ones after the last sentence indicate that after that sentance all he could bring out was silence, that after that sentence it's over for him, or something like that, it sounds and looks more logical in my mind though

yea it is, you know, i've noticed that pretty much every single person i meet here on deviant art is kinda like me in a way ^^

yea, hey, by any chance do you know 2 words that you think would make an interesting story in my mind, i'm kinda making it my thing that i let other people start my thought process

Well, we're all artists

I think I do. Should I send them to you in a note, or can I just say them here?

yup, that's what i love about deviant art ^^
except the people that can't take constructive comments, i wrote one on this fan picture of an anime character from Bleach, i said that he/she had good drawing skillz but that his picture didn't look anything like the original character, which in my eyes it didn't, he / she starts calling me dumb cause he/she says that it's "too difficult" for me to understand that it's in his/her own "style" -_-

do it in a note, wouldn't wanne spoil it

Yeah, it's too bad that some people are so defensive about their art. But lots are very open to constructive criticism, too

'kay Oh, and thanks for the watch, by the way
