January 1/2

The devils were sitting across form me this time, the black clogged up around them like a cork in a poison bottle and there was no air to breathe. My eyes stung, bleeding, probably. At this time I didn't know it had been them, that they were death. That we were all death.

 The first time I saw her? Ha, what a trap. She was bad news before I even knew I was going to that bar. I knew when I touched her she was bringing on the end. 

He stepped off of the cement curb of the sidewalk, exhaling a sharp breath of cool air as his eyes followed a small brunette walking back to her car. He could already hear the band playing inside, the sound of the music thrummed in the bottom of his ear drums as his vision danced with it. The high had kicked in and he wasn't embarrassed of his half lidded eyes or the shadowed circles under them. He opened the door to the cafe with a gloved hand, the warm smell of coffee and brandy floating out along with the thrashing of a guitar. The lights were dimmer than usual, or so he thought, and the people shifted as a blob back and forth together without individual faces. 

I would have saved her if I knew she was there. Then we wouldn't have had to deal with Jonah.

Introduction

Welcome, hello, hello.

My name is Shelby Williams, a writer who has had this idea stuck in her brain for an overly extended amount of time. And though it needs much more drafting and editing, I believe I have become impregnated with something brilliant. 

"Daisy" is a working title as it is a working novel, that will be told through a series of clashing scenes and chapters where the timeline is not necessarily apparent to the reader. Nevertheless, they will all be excerpts from the same story. And though I am publishing this to the site in hopes to snowball some interest among fellow bloggers and readers, I am not positive if the complete work will be posted, but we can worry about that later. This will be an experiment for me, and may seem like a jumbled mess at first, but if you find yourself interested please bear with me, there will be organization to the chaos. 

That being said, I am an amateur writer, and encourage as much feedback as I can receive. (Though I request constructive criticism be conducted in a neutral manner, artists are all different, after all.) But on the same token, I take my work very seriously and, within hopes of publishing this very piece in the future, have taken the precaution of copyrighting every post that will be made. That being said, I would appreciate any comments or questions you guys have about the story or myself, I'd love to hear from you. You can always leave a comment under a particular post, or if you'd like to contact me more directly you can send a message to my personal blog at wadingthroughdaisy.tumblr.com under "Contact". 

I will be posting on this site as often as I can, though at the moment I don't have a set time or frequency that the scenes will be published. In the mean time, thanks for checking it out!

-Shelby
