Let's write a Book


Posts: 1000

Rules:
1) Add as much; or as little as you wish. 
2) After you post the next bit of the story; you can't post again without somebody else adding to the story.
3) Don't give it too much thought, this is a rough draft- let mental vomit cover the pages.

Bonus:
1) If there is some sort of cohesive story in all of this; I'll edit it together into a pdf or a series of posts for a cohesive read. Cutting out the inevitable troll portions.

The ground groaned and shook under the steps of the traveler. Eyes of melting sulphur glean the horizon looking for an omen of shelter. He turns his shoulder and straightens his neck; taking in a deep breath. He presses the seal of his flask to his lips, small dribbles of strong whiskey run through his blacker then ash beard. The crows were watching; waiting - for his flesh and body to be disposed of by his soul; taken by the elements into the next life, or perhaps just another death. The crows don't know-



Some people aren't born to be blessed with tragedy in their blood.

The crows also don't know that he is not a wounded animal, despite what those people who take up their permanent residences inside their comfortable dwellings in their safe settlements might call him, despite the ragged figure he cuts against the blindingly bright backdrop of the sun scorched land, the is a man. The staggering of his gait is caused not by an injury that has slowed him from his pack, them abandoning him to a certain death, by the contents of that flask in his hand. He raises it once more to his lips and lets the last of the whiskey trickle into his mouth, closing his eyes as he does as in equal parts to savour each final drop and to mourn their passing. After so many years with that canister his closest companion, he has become so used to the way the ground seems to move underneath his feet that now he only feels the world rocking when this body is as empty of the sweet burning liquid as his flask now is. His eyes flicker open and move back to scanning the horizon, a slight air of urgency beginning to encroach upon his weariness.

Judas pulled his mouth away again. Content for now. He put his flask back in his breast pocket  and tried to wipe the black strings of hair, stuck in the sweat of his forehead.

"I've been at this for too long," he said aloud to himself, blaringly aware of the aching in his shoulders caused by his pack. 

How many days had it been since I've showered? Five, six.... there were those two nights i didnt sleep  and the day i slept right through...

He tried to remember how many sunrises he had seen since leaving the shanty town. His low supplies were no indication, as Judas has always had a habit of binging on food when binging on drink.

Sc is pretty boring.
