Well this is embarrassing...

I've run into a bit of trouble lately and it seems I won't be able to work on my long extended stories, Retrospection: Far End of the Sky and Tamara: From the Serpent's Mouth until later.

Retro Theme Song?

Okay, I should have been writing the second chapter to the story I'm working on but then I did this instead. Pretty simple stuff. I could call it a theme song.

While some would say it was unnecessary, I find listening to music while I write very helpful. I could even make the argument that all my writing comes from musical inspirations.

Angel In the Snow is the most obvious since it has the same title as the Elliott Smith song it was inspired by but my other 10 minute plays also have music in their roots. Sorry About the Mess was inspired by a song called Help Yourself by Sad Brad Smith and the director of it in YPF even considered playing parts of the song at the beginning and the end of the performance. Grey Matter was inspired partly by the movie Hurricane starring Denzel Washington but mainly by the song Hurricane by Bob Dylan.

UPDATE: I just realized Angel In the Snow and Help Yourself were both featured in the same movie, Up in the Air. Interesting...

Retro Chapter 1 First draft

Very short and by no means finished. I plan on expanding it. The first chapter of a new story I'm writing is here. Let me know what you think down in the comments.
What kind of story does this seem like it will be? What length? What genre? That sort of stuff.
A friend who also read this said he didn't like the character names, I may change those as well. Thoughts?
