Basically you just put down story starters because it's sometimes hard to start your story in an interesting way.
ex: I didn't mean to kill her…..

We won't start at the beginning, for that would be long and dull; instead, we will start at the beginning of the end.

Two boys, sitting in a big empty hall. Every noise echoed, and the air was tense as they sat outside the doors to a small room.

If you had told me I would be starting an inter-dimensional war by smoking a cigar, this entire thing could have been avoided.

Death was not fun. Neither were giants with big clubs and spikes. Death sounded more appealing than the ladder of the two.

And this is the story of how I died

The girl sat, picking at the loose strings on the quilt. "Can you tell me the story, Grandma?" She asked looking up at the old woman sipping tea. The woman grinned at her and put the tea down. "The same story I told you last week, and the week before that?" She asked sitting down beside the girl. The girl simply nodded, her eyes eagerly watching her Grandma. The old woman lifted her hand to the little girl's cheek, only for it to go through her pale whispy skin. "Alright, I'll tell you how we died again." The woman said beginning her story.

And there, I stared into the eyes of Death, as Death looked right back at me. How I survived, I have no clue.

If you're dead, it's over. Your dreams, your hopes…I've seen it with my own eyes.

I'm a liar of the best kind, the kind of liar who lies so well that they believe themselves. They called me Queen Silver Tongue, because I was lying my way to the throne-until they betrayed me, that is.

Out of the smoke, out of the ice it came. I was alone and helpless.

"It's time to go," Death said, holding his hand out in guidance. "If you want it to go, you need to get on with it!"

The young woman stood up straight and looked up at the old man, as if she could see into his soul.

"I'm not asking what you want," Death said, and his voice was very steady. "I'm telling you it's time to go."

The young woman stood there, the world fading away around her, and Death began to walk away.

"No!" she shouted in his face. "Don't leave me! I don't understand!"

Death stopped and stepped forward as if he were going to say something.

"Come back!" she cried again.

But he didn't come. He just stared fixedly up at the night sky and then walked quietly away.

As the light slowly sank, she sat back against the wall, staring at the stars. And the moon slowly went behind.

"He didn't want to leave me."

lowkey follows this thread because maybe i'll need it in the future

If fairytale heroes are a real thing, I would really like to know… where the hell is ours!? Seriously, he or she is really late, and we're getting really tired of waiting. So if you happen to be that hero, I'm going to find you and knock your teeth down your throat. Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me explain what has been going on around here.

It's hard to tell if I'm still alive. I mean I'm breathing, but I'm not feeling anything.

I live two separate lives. I'm Amanda, but I'm also Lillian. I also hear voices of the other life's parents. Everytime now, I wake up in a hospital bed, and I've fallen into a coma.

"It's time to go," Death said, holding his hand out in guidance. "If you want it to go, you need to get on with it!"

The young woman stood up straight and looked up at the old man, as if she could see into his soul.

"I'm not asking what you want," Death said, and his voice was very steady. "I'm telling you it's time to go."

The young woman stood there, the world fading away around her, and Death began to walk away.

"He didn't want to leave me."

If anyone uses this, I'd actually really enjoy seeing what comes out if it!

I looked up at Death and she glared back at me. "You're early."

"Maybe if you listened, we wouldn't be here," I said. "Maybe then, we wouldn't be having to choose between true life and this life. This false life."

The signs. The signs. The signs.

If only I read the signs.
