Okay... So I've read a couple of these Shuffles, not just in the Twilight section, and really wanted to give it a go. I think it's a great way to just start to experiment with characterisation and writing. In case you're unfamiliar with the idea, you flip you're Ipod or MP3, whatever you have, to Shuffle and then for each song you hear you've got to come up with a scene. For my version I limited myself to three times through on the song to think of a scene and write it. I'm going to upload em singularly incase there's something you wanna get on my case about/review but I'm doing them in twos and threes at a time...
Let me know what you think - this was fun!!! x x x
'Love don't Let me Go' by David Guetta.
'You've got me dancin' and cryin', rollin' and dyin' – love don't let me go. You've got me drownin' in a river, cold running fever – Love don't let me go..."
"Nessy – look! Nessy, come here! Nessy, don't do that your mother is going to kill me!" Renesme Cullen looked up from where she was playing in the sand to my left where she was standing in the large hole that she had dug, covered in wet sand. She pouted and placed a hand, the one not clutching the spade, on her hip.
"Fun Jake. It's Fun. Come."
Renesme, for all her rapid development, didn't feel the need to mince her words when she could show you everything she could ever want to convey with words. She was now about eighteen months old in human terms and though it had slowed, her mixed genes had made her develop to about the age of a ten year old child already. She had started to speak more about three months ago and now screamed, cried and squealed just like a girlchild normally did.
So I went when she told me. I squatted next to her DIY sandpit that had a small pool of muddy water at the bottom and surveyed my charge as she reached up to show me what I'd been summoned for. She was dripping wet and sandy as well as muddy from the walk to the beach, and the mere sight of her was going to send Bella after my blood. But I didn't resent her the fun – as long as she was happy I was happy.
When her tiny little hand hit my thigh I saw in my head what she was showing me as clear as if it was my own thoughts. The water soaking through my clothes was cool and refreshing after the walk to the beach. The sand was scratchy but an odd sensation against my skin as it dried. The dirt was sticky and made Jake look unhappy which was funny...
"Oh it's funny is it? Fine then little miss, I'm just going to sit over here and cry." I stormed over to our log in mock outrage and turned my back with a falsetto wail. When the squeal of little girl laughter didn't come I turned around again. Renesme had disappeared from her hole and was nowhere in sight. Panic rose up my throat as I scanned the horizon for my reason for existing but to no avail. Bella and Edward would rip me limb from limb if she got lost but not before I'd tortured myself.
"RAWR!" The noise filled me with relief and surprise; enough so to let Nessy push me backwards off the log as she stormed me squealing with laughter. "Funny Jake funny."
"Not funny madam you had me dyin' there for a sec..."
