Default Wet Night (A Story)

Here's what I have so far:

It was about two o’clock in the morning. It had certainly been a rough day,
considering the fact that it had rained during the day. I jump as lighting hisses through the sky like a bullet train. It’s not so much the visuals that startle me, but the noise almost made me, you know, wet. Carrack!!! Boom!!! Another huge disturbance in the sky outside. This time I did wet myself.

Coments? Suggestions? and no, it's not done yet! (I think)

Ok If that is suppose to be a prologue, why are there no names or real descriptions of anything?

I cant really comment on that- it's just too short.. lengthen it and then we can help you out and give opinions.

Wow... it's that bad is it blarg...?

Seriously... Learn to write a plot and come up with some original ideas... It isn't even valid to come up with a cheap paragraph and just post it. To be honest to just write something like that, you attract no interest because it's the same boring story plenty of people had already written, only with no tact to it.

Question Read!

I told you already that it's NOT done yet. After all, isn't this the place to WORK on your stories? Everyone's a critic.

But that is not even enough to be considered a prologue. You don't have to post it all at once.

It is also a place to comment on them. You have only posted one paragraph, and that itself is pretty poor in terms of quality of language. If you look at the other posts for this part of the forum, you will notice that most of them are pretty long, posted a chapter at a time. An opening paragraph isn't really worth that much out of context, especially one that could be improved upon.

I guess you can be commended for the fact that its got some punctuation and isn't all in lower-case, and that you attempted to spell the words properly.
