Diary of a Madman by L. Vera
July 31st
Dear Diary,
I left the apartment today to get some groceries and that old lady down the hall was staring at me again. Sometimes I think she knows.
Oh and there is a new tenant across the hall. She must have moved in while I was at the store. I caught a glimpse of her through her opened door. I only saw her beautiful blond hair draped over her blue t-shirt and her nice legs in a pair of tight blue jeans. The apartment was bright. I guess they have yet put up any blinds.
Diary, I got more pages done on that novel. I think this is the one. It's definitely better than my first novel. T. Casil is back and soon the world will know.
The urge to kill

Dear Diary,
I had a terrible dream last night. I was in a bedroom full of a white natural light. The bed was draped in flowing white sheets. Sarah was there dressed in a white dress. She sat facing away from me with her brown hair dancing over her naked shoulders. I floated over to the bed and lay down next to her. But as I touch her shoulder, she got up and; without even looking at me, walked out of the room.
The light slowly faded as I looked at the window. The moonlight shined out upon the grass of what seems like my childhood front yard. The moon's light followed her as she walked onto the front yard. The world slowly blackened. And as she left, so did all the light.
I woke up and I felt horrible. I went downstairs to check the mail. I thought maybe Sarah sent me a letter. Nope. I still felt bad as I walked back upstairs, till I finally had a chance to meet her.
Her name is Vanessa. She was leaving when I got to my door. I heard her door open and as I unlocked my door she hurried away with her arms swinging. And on her keychain was the name Vanessa.
The hunger subsided.

Dear Diary,
I spent most of my day staring through the peephole. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and stood there with one eye through the round little window. I gave up waiting for Vanessa around lunch time.
I sat down and wrote another chapter. I hated it. I just can't find the right words. It's this crappy typewriter. I need to get one those fancy computers.
I just wish I could write another best seller. Diary, you would have loved it. It was called To Sarah. It was a beautiful story about my childhood. My publisher did a wonderful job making money of it. Now he wants a sequel. But how do you write a sequel about your childhood? Do I write about my horrible college experience? Or how about Sarah? She hasn't talked to me since High School.
Anyways, I call this new novel To My Enemies.
The hunger grew a little today. I don't blame it.
Chapter 4 from the novel To Sarah
There was a knock on my door. It was Sarah crying.
"Sarah, what's wrong?" I asked her.
"I'm… moving away," she sobbed.
I stood there in silence. Was I a coward for not saying anything? But I knew there was nothing I could do. But I loved her. I loved her so much I can feel the pit filling with fear. I had to do something.
I showed up at her window a bit after the night came. I brought a backpack full of food and supplies.
"Sarah," I whispered.
"Sarah," I said louder.
She was beautiful as she rubbed her eyes to adjust to the light. She looked very flushed as if she was crying.
"What are you doing?"
"We are running away," I informed her.
"Are you crazy?"
"Crazy in love with you," I told her as I kissed her lips.

The Day My Cat Exploded
Today was the day my cat exploded.
It wasn't spectacular – it just exploded with a furious carnage across the sitting room. Perhaps I shouldn't have let it bite the wires in the fuse box… The mess itself was uninspiring; the walls would need a good bleach attempt and the couch itself was ruined. I took my coat out of the cupboard and, shifting a stack of unopened bills and other pleasantries from infront of the door, made my way outside to go to my depressingly dreary work.
The blisteringly cold air of January assaulted my face relentlessly as I did my coat up. Plugging in my headphones, I shuddered as an alarmingly loud

Why, Daddy?
He screams her name. Her body falls. His anger pulsates like the throbbing vein on his forehead. His fists are a blur of furious punches while he rages at her, blaming her for his ruined life.
Daddy stop.
He roars and throws her limp body across the room, sending it right onto the coffee table. Shattered glass and broken wood pierce through her skin, causing the red liquid to ebb out of her soulless carcass.
Daddy please.
He yells at her for not having the guts to get up; he doesn't know she'll never move again. He slaps her around and tosses her against the wall like a rag doll.
Don't you love me daddy?
He picks up a pillow and thro

I Used To Be A Fox
To be a fox again, slender was my frame for once in my adult years,
the fat of my gluttony shed for a moment, like the athletic child I'd been.
Still, so hungry I bit and bat at the terrified rabbits, snapping a neck,
and so I began to eat a dear old friend of mine, none the wiser, poor Julia.
On the eve of our downfall, the cities stopped their incessant buzzing,
Rockets froze in the air, vapour and fire became a beautiful thing.
Some tired, bored creator, caught in a moment of whimsy,
Shifted our souls from one thing to the next, a wonderful game it must have been.
As a grasshopper, I perched on a tear in a paper door, playing my n

I like it so far, using diaries as "medium" is interesting and I guess hard. The beginning was well done maybe would have been better with a little bit more space for the 1st owner of the diary. When it comes to write the 1st page of a diary, I usually write hips and I am not the only one... that is from my point of view.
Then, I have the impression to be thrown in a killer head without clue what am I doing her. (how to explain....) the killer 1st page intro was awesome, we all wonder wtf just happened. Letting us standing in our wtf a bit longer would have bring more energy to the beginning. More, waou that guy got some issue here but who is he?
There is a really good idea here, but it would need to be deepened. And less straightforward ("Do I write about my horrible college experience?" psycho don't talk about their bad experience, at least not at the beginning)
But again, there is a really good idea and I'll read the next episodes to see how it will go...
