The Curse

Okay so like I've tried to do Twyla Tharp's exercise called "Give yourself a little challenge". Now since I enjoy writing short stories (usually animated but i'll stick with realistic) I've decided to write a story without the word "The" and this is how it went.

Okay well maybe that's not exactly how it went. 

The story is below

It was a cold night, leaves were blowin', wind was whistling and leftover raindrops from the tree leaves were just fell upon my window as I was sitting on my convenient window seat. I stared out my windowpane just thinking about life, what I accomplished, my failures and what I've overcame. Not much came to mind, seeing as I didn't really get far in life yet, I'm only a freshman yet again. Someone was knocking quite hard actually, interrupting my thoughts. I reluctantly rose up from my seat and slowly walked to my door, the person was outside was trying to twist a door knob. My adrenaline was pumping, my hairs were standing up on the back of my neck in anticipation, my fear of being faced with my worst nightmare was rushing forward as I swung open the door, being faced with...Nothing, Just a tree branch hitting my door. I turned on my outside light and I saw cars that had crashed, fires still blazing, buildings had crashed, The dead ruling the night. It was my dream Apocalyptic world .

That was actually very hard, I had to rethink of ways to actually write a couple of sentences because I wanted to use the so many times. Without the this short whatever, sounds pretty possessive since instead of the I just used "My" which wasn't my intention since I never include myself in my stories. Also it seemed as if the story could only be told from my point of view since I used My so much, and not in third person like stories are usually written. Anyways I love the word the and I shall always need it.

P.S I'll stick to fictional writing :D
