Exercice 5

Dans le cadre de mon second cours d'atelier, je devais écrire un texte de 4 pages. Suite aux commentaires de mes camarades de classe, il fallait procéder à la réécriture de ce texte. Voici donc la version finale!

Ne m'oublie pas.

Le party vient de commencer et déjà, tout est en mouvement. Les corps qui s'emmêlent, la musique qui te rentre dedans comme un char en pleine course, la lumière qui t'aveugle. Chaque nuit, c'est pareil. Une foule d'enfants qui cherchent à se trouver, à s'amuser. À oublier.

Moi, je suis ici pour la musique. Je préfèrerais jouer live devant un public en délire, mais choisir le prochain remix à nous exploser les oreilles n’est pas trop mal. Je ne prends pas de demandes spéciales et je ne me fais pas animateur cheap. Pas envie de parler aux party animals de toute manière. De les voir en action, à la chasse, est plus que suffisant. Leurs parades ridicules me sont insupportables. Comme ce gars, là. La casquette à l’envers, il s’avance dans la foule en hochant de la tête. Typique. Son regard se promène à la recherche d’une jolie fille à baiser. Dire que j’étais comme lui, il y a quelques années, jusqu’à ce que je la rencontre. Ai-je déjà été aussi insouciant?

The Dagger of Exion - Part 8

When I woke up, light was coming through my small window. I had a terrible headache and groaned as I tried to sit up. Silva looked up at me and I patted his head, smiling. I had no idea how long I had slept, but I still felt exhausted. Facing a sea monster took it’s toll, especially considering I wasn’t the most experienced mage. I had been foolish, thinking I could stand against a Grushaw on my own, but it did seem like a good idea at the moment.

A knock on the door.

- Aevik, you awake?

I tried to answer but my throat felt so dry. Silva yapped for me and Brendt came in. He was bringing food and water. Good man, good friend.

- I came to check on you. You’ve been sleeping for 3 days straight!

I was already drinking the water he had brought me when it hit me.

- 3 days?

- I guess that magic of yours took a lot from you!

- Where are we now?

- We are close to a small archipelago. We were going to explore it this afternoon. We might find some fresh water and some food. You could come, if you feel like you’re up for it.

I laughed and eagerly started eating the bread and soup, I would need all the energy I could get if I was to follow them on these islands. Brendt was watching me carefully and I could tell my friend wasn’t convinced I was fully recovered yet. After all, I had done something really stupid, out of ignorance. It was only because of luck that I had survived uninjured.

Exercice 4

Pour mon second travail noté, les consignes étaient d'écrire quelques poèmes sur le même thème, en prose et en vers. En voici donc un de chaque style.

Un baiser de Judas

Pour une petite abeille égarée
Une petite fleur délicate

Pétales flamboyants
Parfum envoûtant
Offrande d’une paix
Fin d’une errance

Petite fleur traîtresse
Épines mortelles
Nectar empoisonné
Paradis infernal
Petite abeille assassinée

Petite fleur venimeuse
Piège insoupçonné
Prisonnier de tes ronces
De tes mensonges
Petite fleur, tu me tiens

Update - December 9th 2013

Hey guys,

I won't be posting anything in the next few weeks as I'm at the end of my first of two semesters in creative writing. I'm also trying to get more shifts at work for extra money (Holidays!). With Christmas and New Years coming soon, I will be pretty busy with family and friends. I will be back with the new semester in January!

See you guys soon!!

Nighttime Inspirations 9

Castle of Dreams

Castle of cards
Standing so tall
At the top of the world
You'll never fall
Gust of wind
Brings you back to earth

Castle of sand
Small but solid
A wave to erase
All of your hard work
Not a single trace
Nothing is left

Castle of glass
Shining so bright, eternal
The moonlight turns you
Into sparkling diamonds
A storm shatters it
Now nothing but shards

Castle of wood
Sturdy and strong
Protected from the night
A single spark
Leaves only ashes
Blown in the wind

Castle of stone
Impenetrable defences
Safer than ever
No need to run anymore
Fated earthquake
Made it my tomb
