WRITING OBSTACLE

In a short scene, how can your protagonist say “I won’t forget you” without literally saying the words “I won’t forget you”?

Home In The Darkness

The rain sliced us like knives. The thunder shook the land and the lightning illuminated the night sky. We were not alone.


There was a killer with us in these woods and no body had a phone to call for help. We had to make a it through the night. Or it would be death.


“Kasey, don’t go alone. Never go alone. Your injured,” Henry muttered into my ear.


He had a point. There was a dagger wedged into my left thigh and I was proposing to go out into the woods and find something to call for help with. Possibly a building or a gun to protect us.


“Henry, it’s the only way. He can’t find you here

But there’s a chance that he can find me if there something on this dagger.” I wispered. I leaned in and wrapped my arms around you when I felt a stabbing pain in my gut.


“Kasey!” Henry screamed.


“Shh.” I responded. I groaned as I put my hands on the dagger and looked around for the one responsible when I realized that it was Henry who stabbed me.


“What? Why!” I yelled.


“I couldn’t let them kill you. I had to. Your miserable,” Henry said.


“Henry,” I wispered.


“Kasey, before you go.. I need to say something that’s been on my mind all night,” he said.


“What!” I screamed. Was there even a killer? Was it him all night?


“Kasey. You’ll never leave my mind. You will be there always,” he said.


Then I took my last breath in and out before the darkness took me in as its own.
