There are times I come up with inspiration that goes nowhere. These are personal quotes of inspiration. I would like to see them used in stories.
Where the story goes and what happens is entirely up to you.
RULES
1 The quote you choose does not have to be used in context of the story, but the story must evolve from the quote you choose.
2 Length of the story must be at least 400 words, but there is no word limit.
3 Have fun, write what you will.
4 Please include the complete quote in the author's notes.
5 This contest will be judged more on appeal and immagination then grammar and spelling (I'm no editor)
Ok here's the quotes!
"The shadows of their past creep up on them once again, with nowhere else to turn, all they can do is turn to each other. Their embrace, loving and kind. Their kiss, filled with passion. If only for a moment, time for them stood still and no worries were left."
"Feelings of desolate despair, he looked for her everywhere. Knowing she was gone, he cried, for he let her go. But to his surprise, he found his head on her shoulder. She still loved him."
"He felt it, like a blade in the heart. She no longer cared. Ice cold, she stared him down. How could he be so cruel to the person he once loved? Why did he hurt her? He will never know as crimson flows from his wrists into a warm bath."
"The embrace was warm and comforting. If only they could stay here. But alas, they must part. For their lives call them away. Tears flow. How can they survive without each other?"
"Living in secret, their love for each other, known by no other. If anyone ever found out, he would hang from the gallows, and she would burn in fire and brimstone. For it is forbidden for an elf and a dwarf to love one another."
"The life we lead binds us to each other. We each have a tie to another, creating a webbed connection. The spider may bite you. Cause love, hate, death, or pain. But we are all connected in a balance of the webs we weave."
"With a bite on the neck she trembled. Feeling her life force drain from her, she submitted happily. Now she could be with her beloved forever, or could she?"

As your unofficial editor, would you like me to edit this for you? And let me just say that you should do this same contest on AP if you have the points.
