Hi, again! I know I've not uploaded in a while.

People have written poems, one-shots or two-shots, etc to release the weight of writer's block and lack of inspiration.

I've tried that, StarClan, I've tried. Skies, I've even written for other categories, and that's not working either.

It's hopefully just a lengthy phase, much like my crush- I need to get on track and stay there.

Okay, so I'm hoping maybe more story content for random stuff will help me... Not like I haven't tried, though...

Anyway, enjoy.

A dark forest stretched wide before the feline. He stared blankly into the thick trees and undergrowth, glimpsing for half a second a yellow pair of eyes. His neck fur shot up in wariness. Standing, he slowly put one ginger paw after the other, his bright forest-green eyes glaring around the thin trees that stood close together, as if guarding an ancient beauty.

A twig snapped. The ginger tomcat swirled his head around, his mouth opening into the beginnings of a snarl, with perfectly sharp white teeth. The dark sky was no longer visible overhead, for the trees' dark leaves blocked his view of the stars. Only dim light showed the way.

A path then appeared, one that looked old and worn. The kitten cautiously placed a paw on the path, then another, and another. He was a few steps ahead when a shape moved swiftly across the shadows. He perked his head up, surprise and slight fear creeping into his eyes.

He shook his head, too nervous to advance, and ran back to his owners' home, where Smudge still stood on the neighbor's fence like a spotted statue in the night.

"Goodnight, Smudge." Rusty softly called. The black-and-white tom's only reply was a flick of his tail and a hop into his yard. Rusty also hopped over his fence and went inside his home.

You'll see the wild another day. He told himself. You'll know how the wildcats live.

This line break is oddly intriguing to you. You poke it and explore its contents- nineteen words. Move along.

Poetry? Maybe. Song? I don't know.

A hiss, a claw, a fang

Bang, bang, bang.

A song she sweetly sang

Bang, bang, bang.

She hummed by the bay

Bang, bang, bang.

What else could they say

Bang, bang, bang.

I'm so sorry if this wasn't enough for you. Please understand I am trying so hard to be inspired and nothing's working and

I just

can't.
