Sudden Fiction Poetry: Piece 1

Example of Sudden Fiction

This is one of my pieces originally created in 2002 and was last modified to this final draft on the 16/05/2009. Here I choose to take vampirism as my subject. The lay out is unconventional but creates the necessary pause to accumulate suspense

Dark Angel

He who regrets nothing......

Condemned to eternal torment......

He who owns no soul or conscience......

He kills like the indiscriminate Gods of the mortals and in this he finds his release, a peace so pure, lost to the ages.

He no longer takes life to merely survive or know peace. No now he hunts for pleasure, for the exhilarating thrill......

The prick of anticipation as their heart sets into that jerky rhythm......To see them paralyzed within fears cold relentless grasp.

He toys with them now, such simple beasts!

Until the perfect moment arises, then...... a quick flash, the strike is made...... and they sink back to the earth from whence they came.

Here you can see that sudden fiction can really resemble the start of a short story but it is far more poetical and descriptive. Despite only being a short piece if you read it with the appropriate pauses a vivid context of a vampire hunting his prey and his mind set and emotion of the moment. All of this is done in sudden fiction by triggering a greater sense of moment by provoking emotion within the reader which will create a complete scene within a very condensed amount of writing.
