Poll: Which Story Ending Do You Like Better?
Replies
I wrote a story for my pet Sithe (I may change her name, idk yet). She is based on the Cat Sìth mythology.
Which ending do you think is better? Ending# 1 or Ending# 2
Main Story [box=#c7c7c7]You walk along in the cool night air. Each breath visible in the moonlight. Crickets are chirping away. A light breeze kicks up the stillness, sending a few leaves dancing across your path on the sidewalk. From the the corner of your eye you catch something else stir. Reflexively you look before you can fully process what you thought you saw. Nothing is there. The hair on the back of your neck stands on end as if something is still watching. The crickets have gone silent. You quicken your pace a bit.
Was it this foggy a moment ago?
Suddenly through the fog you see the eye shine of some large creature dead ahead. You stop and take a step back, blinking out of fear. Somehow it's now just a cat walking towards you. You're still stiff with fear as she trots up and rubs against your legs, purring. You look around briefly before stooping down to pet her, laughing to yourself about how silly you were to be frightened over a lowly cat.[/box]
Ending# 1
As you stand back up and begin to walk forward a huge tree comes crashing down without warning. It lands right where you would have been walking. Stunned you look back for the cat right as she fades out of existence.
The crickets begin chirping again as if nothing ever happened.
Ending# 2
As you stand back up to continue on. She mews softly and pushes against your legs stopping you once more. She walks a few steps back from the direction you came and looks back. It’s almost as if she wants you to follow. You try to ignore her and continue on but she is insistent, nearly tripping you in her attempts. Reluctantly you decide to see where she leads you. The fog is thick now. You can barely see her out in front. Maybe it’s just your imagination but it almost seems like the fog is glowing. It must be from a street light you just didn’t notice before? She stops now. Something is laying across your path. She waits for you to catch up. With horror you realize it’s a body...your body. Briefly you wonder how you died. She purrs loudly now, looking up from beside your dead body as if to try to comfort you. Her pupil-less eyes softly glowing like the fog. Oddly you are calm as you follow her once more, and step into the glowing fog.
The crickets begin chirping again along the sidewalk, empty now save for a body laying motionless.
Ending 1 is heartwarming, but I'm a sucker for tragedies, so ending#2 :P.
, Thank you! That seems to be the general consensus my family thinks too lol
i prefere 1 by far but think 2 is... more fitting, since... meanigfull?
can you include booth somehow? like with... coding? so the visitor of her page chooses or something.
**love Sithe's name

, Thank you! I kinda like that idea sort of a choose your own adventure sort of thing :) Yeah her name is growing on me more, I'm too picky with names lol.
A choose your own ending is brilliant. Oh! Wait, as long the scode for is still around for it, you could randomize which ending is shown.
I preferred ending (ironically). It was so very fae.
Also, I love that she prefers to be called sith over she 😂
, Thank you both for you input on the choose your own ending idea. I reworded a few things and have them up on her profile if you felt like checking it out for any redundant things or spelling errors and letting me know what you think. If not that is cool too as you've already helped a lot :)
