My story

I reached into the old, ragged bag, pulling out a phone. I had 30
minutes to escape the building, and I needed supplies. They had given
me a bag of some supplies, but it was mainly just regular old stuff you
would find in a women's leathery designer purse. Nothing of much help
to me of course, but I could improvise.
   I dialed the number I had practiced over and over in my head for a
time like this, and now I could NOT forget it. I took a shaky breath
and pressed talk. Like all cell phones, it could text and send voice
messages and such, but like all the people who go to my school, I
learned that the fastest and easiest way to get ahold of someone was
through the regular talking. I stumbled over my new Nikes, perfect
for running in times like this. Then she picked up.
     "Hello?" She asked. I screamed into the phone on my lower-than-
average voice "SUPPLIES." We had rehearsed this in case they did not
give me the right tools, so she knew what to do.


I just wrote this, just playing it as I went along. How do you like it?

EDIT: And NO, I have not revised/edited.

Kinda vague without any context. Pretty good, though.

Oh, good. Just make sure you post the next chapter in the same topic. It peeves me when people start a new topic to add five lines to a story.  tongue

It's good writing, but you shouldn't release the story so early-I don't understand anything.

And jfmlove, when are you adding more chapters?

Re: My story

Cool! I like how it doesn't explain everything right away, it keeps you curious and gets your attention. There are some grammar errors and a few things that should be added or taken away, but I'd like to read more

Edit: Also, I have an idea what it may be about. But I won't say in case it's way off

Re: My story

ok, continuing.

I came to the "secret meeting place", although it was really just a hole in the wall that was up 10 stories. Of course, it had a hatch and was just a little too small for me to get through, but, if the plan worked, I could get the supplies I needed here. I hung up the tiny smartphone and began to count-she wanted to see how long it would take her.
        I had gotten to 3 minutes, 22 seconds when she arrived. She had a beautiful new sports car, and she wore clothes as if she were a supermodel. I called down to her, "Over here!" And she came running with a bag stuffed to the brim with things falling out around the sides.  Using my bag and some old rope I had stumbled across in the building, I made a pully with my bag. She dumped the contents of hers into mine and ran away. I pulled it up and watched her leave, then I ran towards the nearest wall.
        I began banging, but no luck, the wall was too well-supported. I found where the elevator was,normally, and opened the shiny stainless steel door. Rats. Gone. I pulled out a short grappling hook and tied it to the elevator track nearest to the door. I then thrashed out a safety harness, my fit, and tied it around my waist.
                                                                  Then I jumped.
