The District of Never Die

    This was a wish for luck, a wish for romance, a wish for safe travels, for friendship, for good food and good times. But, most of all, it was a wish for adventure. That was what she wanted most.
    Turning away from the half-naked statue over sparkling water, she pinched her eyes closed and gripped her coin as hard as she could, willing the rest of her wish into the grooves of metal. With one light toss, she turned around to watch her coin break the surface.
    Another wish floated silently to the bottom of the Trevi Fountain.

that was for all_unwritten prompt 331, a photo prompt if you couldn't already tell. That's a picture taken by lady_aduial of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. When I started writing this, I thought it would be cool to write it from the coin's point of view, but it didn't really work out that way >_< Oh well though, it still works, I think :)

This next one is a response to yesterday's prompt from A Creative Writer's Kit, "I was listening to something I heard before." It's kinda got a sad tone to it, but I don't know if it's depressing o_O Just read it, and you might see what I mean, haha.

    The playlist played over and over again, the repeat button on iTunes permanently pressed. She thought the speakers might be getting tired of playing the same six songs again and again, but she didn't care. She needed this music, these lyrics in particular. It was her break-up playlist and it was definitely something she'd heard before; she never did get tired of the music though, no matter how many times she sobbed/sang them. It made everything alright, almost even justified the break-up. Two more hours of repetitiveness, one long bubblebath (candles included), and half a gallon of Edy's Chocolate Fudge Chunk ice cream later, she knew she was going to be fine - all thanks to those 6 over-played songs.

Depressing? Yes/No? Hah, I'm not even sure and I wrote the thing, lulz. Anyways, it's now 1:21 am and I shall be going to bed.

The night sky exploded in front of them, a silhouetted Eiffel Tower blocking the view, but no one cared. They were here to have fun, to enjoy themselves in the shadow of a monument. Crowd surfers passed by on shaky hands, their drinks driving both the surfers and the "waves" to uncontrollable laughter as they rode further and further away from their friends. The crowd danced in the glow of reflected images from the giant plasma screens. Firework after firework came to life and then died, one after another until there were no more. Even after the last of the fireworks stopped, the people still stayed, dancing till they were too intoxicated to stand. Some managed to make it back to their hotel rooms in one piece.
One man stayed, standing in the midst of the crowd, watching. He didn't have any alcohol, nor did he sing or dance with the others. He was just there. He saw the same fireworks, but they didn't seem to have the same affect on him. He heard the same music, but it didn't drive him to dance. He was under the surfers, but his hand didn't go up to help. He waited, and waited, till no one was left. He knew what they'd be doing. He knew their worlds would be exploding one more time tonight, this time without the help of fireworks. And he knew he was lonely.

My responses sure have been a bit on the depressing side lately >_<
I'm sorry, I'll try to fix that in the next prompt
for all_unwritten Prompt 325

In other news!! I actually used my journal today :D the one I bought about a month ago >_<
Yeah I wrote my first entry in there and it was pretty cool. It does take a lot longer to actually hand-write something than to type it out, but hey, that doesn't really matter I guess unless my thoughts are coming too fast >_< haha
