So I electrocuted myself.
Well, that was embarrassing to admit.
I can’t remember much about the incident itself other than it took place during a routine electrical test. I usually don’t black out during those. Not entirely.
The next thing I know, I’m on my back unsure of where I was, who I was, or if I was even a person. I was just a being suddenly coming out of darkness. It’s like gaining sentience for the first time, being conscious that whatever you were you’re alive now. And in that moment, everything and nothing makes sense. It’s terrifying, confusing, and weirdly exhilarating. Also a little bit nauseating if I were honest. One of the first thing I wanted to do as a sentient being was throw up.
My ceiling was a kaleidoscope of colors. It was first a strange lapis. Then slate. Until finally settling on an uneasy crimson that turned my stomach.
The Woman in the Television looked down at me and shook her head. Her image blinked in and out again, losing focus in time with the changing colors.
As the crimson became too much and her face melted into something akin to a demon—fangs and all—she said something that still echoes in my brain every time I close my eyes.
“It’ll only go down from here, Mr. Harkin.”
I then blacked out again. When I next regained consciousness
I’m going to have to end this entry here. Someone is knocking.

Prisoners Escape
Hardened black prisoners escape by stealing the uniforms of the white male prison guards and then hijacking white businessmen.
Umar was one bad-ass black guy. He was only nineteen but he was already a hardened criminal, he had been involved with leading black crime gangs since he was 11. Unfortunately things had not gone too well and he and his gang members had been caught by the police.
The judge had sentenced him to life in prison. Because he was considered a highly dangerous criminal he was to spend the rest of his life in a secure prison on the other side of the country.
Umar was now on-board the prison bus with 19 other hardened cr

Tarkin's Prisoner(Chapter 4)
With a loud reptilian growl, Zandule lunges forward and hits the door's control panel, opening it. He jumps back and fires the flamethrower through the open door, motioning the barrel left and right. While back stepping, he puts Eira behind cover and reaches for a few thermals with his empty hand. "Bombs away!" he yelled with delight as he stopped the onslaught of flames momentarily to lob the explosives.
Within seconds, explosions erupted throughout the hallway as various troopers could be heard yelling and scrambling for cover. Not giving them a chance to reorganize themselves, Zandule continued his assault with the flamethrower. "I lov

Prisoner
We were teenagers the first time your skilled lips met mine.
You were winter’s cold and dusted with new-fallen snow.
The shadows that lay beneath your haunted eyes
Matched the bruises tattooed upon your ivory skin.
We were far from alone when our calloused hands met on accident.
He stepped out of the shadows and threw you to the frozen ground.
No noise escaped your gritted, cracked teeth as he beat you. Yet no
Amount of courage could hide the fear bleeding from your almond eyes.
We were barely adults the first time I met the softness of your skin.
Life radiated from your emerald eyes as your battered
Body and blood-crusted mouth mo

Noise in the Room Upstairs:
An Insomniac's Journal
I made a horrible pun and I'm sticking with it. I'm so sorry.
This entry is rather short (and was supposed to be a lot shorter if you can believe it). The narrator finds himself at the end of a very shocking experience.
(I'm sorry. I did it again...)
Feedback is most welcomed and appreciated!

I like those first two lines. They immediately portray that this is going to be a humorous, perhaps a little dark, piece, and draws the reader to want to know more.
'I usually don’t black out during those. Not entirely.' - I do like stories with black-outs, you never knew what will happen to the character!
'The next thing I know' - Know should be knew as they are talking about what has happened to them.
'One of the first thing I wanted to do as a sentient being was throw up.' I laughed
'When I next regained consciousness' - Add a dash at the end to portray he's (she's?!) been interrupted.
I'm enjoying this as well
