Squarepeg Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I made up a short story a few years ago for Autumn. She used to ask me to tell her a "Jamie Story" from time to time. At first I told her things from my childhood, but soon I began to spin silly yarns about silly things and one night came up with a love story of sorts about a young man sent on a quest to find his true love by a mysterious stranger with a golden coin. In the tale he was nameless, the only character I gave a name to was the lady who turned out to be the one he was looking for, and that was really only a nick name. She was called Red, because of her beautiful red hair. Anyway, after a while, I decided to give him a name in my many failed attempts to write this story down and over the years I have extended his and Red's story in my head, and not all of it is a happy tale. From those musings certain quotes have popped into my head that I very clearly heard my young protagonist say and I thought I'd share some of them here with you, though not in any particular order. I give you the quotes of Joshua Deeds. "Do you want to know a secret? I've murdered somebody. In my head. I've killed him a thousand times over one thing he did to me. And each and every time he deserved it." - Joshua Deeds 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squarepeg Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 "All thoughts are lost in the turmoil inside my head. It's like trying to catch a specific snowflake in a blizzard. You know it's there, but you can't see it amongst all the other snowflakes because they all look the same, even though each one is unique.". -Joshua Deeds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kethlia Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 If you stick out tongue your thoughts will focus to that one point until you begin to question it. 🤣 Thank you for the addition @Squarepeg I can relate to it too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squarepeg Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 He pulled the hammer back on the small handgun with his thumb and said, "You look a little too smug for a dead man." "What", said Joshua, " a dead man can't look smug? What if he wanted to die?" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squarepeg Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 The old man took a sip of the wine. After savouring it for just a little too long he said, "Patience is not one of my virtues, my young friend. In fact, I don't believe I have any." "Patience?" asked Joshua. "Virtues." replied the old man. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
