Prologue

Yes? … No? You choose your own fate…

There are some people out there who believe your fate is set in stone when you’re born and many others who think that you find destiny in a questionable journey cast upon us by the unknown, claiming to be life. But what is life? In the true world there are no fates or destinies just people putting their lives in the hands of the devil, scrambling to the top, dubbing it as their own path to greatness.

Death hides behind the noble mask of fate and destiny, allowing fear to creep not only into the mind but to the soul as well. Fear can rot the soul but it can also strengthen it, depending on how one takes it.

But I shall not fear death. I have accepted it as it is and it walks as my companion on the road of sorrow and sees with me where it has taken me. I will face death with pride, what awaits after is what I fear, whether it be eternal happiness or pain. Pain I can deal with, I know how it functions and how to get past it, push it to the back of my mind. It is happiness that I fear. It works mysteriously. Pain works the same for everyone yet happiness is different for everyone. It confuses me and confusion frightens me. Happiness muddles the brain with useless thoughts that block concentration, yet everyone wants to be happy. To be lost in their secret worlds turning a blind eye to what is happening around them.

I am called Gwen and I walk alone on this beaten path of existence. There are many paths that cross with others and you meet along the way but mine is in pure solitude and the silence is peaceful. I never look left nor right for a friend because I know one will not cross my seemingly never ending rut.

Short isn't bad. This is very unique, you don't get a lot of prologues like this where there is introspection on the character's part. Very nice.

I love your writing style. The very first little section reads like the opening to a T.V. show! Cant wait to read more! :)
