So here is the beginning of a story I recently started writing. It is in the very beginning stages but I wanted to share with you and get some feedback. I am also looking for suggestions on a title. I love getting others feedback and am here to meet new people with similar interests and opinions, but to also meet peoples with different ideas than my own and learn new things. So here is a small part of the beginning of the story.
It was 3 am when her eyes flew open. She was in absolute darkness because of the black out blinds and curtains; she couldn't sleep with even the slightest sliver of light coming through the window. She was alone in the dark, or at least she should have been, but she felt something glaring at her through the blackness. She pretended to still be asleep, trying to control her breathing, not moving a single muscle. If it thought she was asleep maybe it would go away.
It felt like an eternity that she lay there perfectly still trying to appear asleep, though it was only about five minutes. She finally began to feel the foggy unconsciousness of sleep washing over her, no longer scared, but just as she took the last step into restful bliss, she thought she heard her closet door open just a little and her name; someone or something whispered her name.
Elizabeth awoke to her favorite classic rock radio station blaring AC/DC's Dirty Deeds. She loves this song but every time she hears it she chuckles to herself because since the first time she heard it she had the lyrics wrong. What exactly is a Thunder Chief she wondered to herself with a smile. Then she remembered last night. No time to worry about that nonsense, it was just the remnants of a dream. It was time to get ready for work. Beth, as all her friends called her didn't have a glamorous high paying job but she loved what she did. She had loved animals since she was a child and wanted to be able to help lost and abandoned animals find their forever homes. She spent her days at a rescue/rehabilitation center for animals. They didn't just take in cats and dogs, they accepted any type of animal that had ever been brought to them. She worked with a team of seven animals lovers such as her self and she wouldn't' want to be doing anything else with her life.
