The Legend of Louise

by What A Novel Idea

This is the story of a girl who loves words and will do anything to keep them secret...This is a little angsty I think and it's based on a really obscure book, so don't bite my head off if you don't get the references...

1. Chapter 1

The Legend of Louise

This is my first story really...please leave a review!

"Write a story Louise." Louise's teacher said. "A poem, really anything at all... Your writing is just so bland...so pointless so...not meaningful and with no hint of excitement. Not even a whisper! Please Louise! I really hate giving you such horrible grades. Especially because you're so brilliant! But there is really no other solution. Just one story..."

Louise's mind raced. She imagined herself jumping on the table and shouting, her face turning red and then blue from lack of air. The force of her words caused her teacher to fall to the floor, her eyes rolling back in her head. Aah! Such words! Louise longed to be able to write such stories. To put words together so amazingly that they could bring back the dead. But no. No matter what she wanted, what she longed for, she could never write such stories. She had promised. A deadly promise. For when the string inside her snapped and words came rushing forth, she would be finished. For good.
