Note: This is a prologue of a short story that I have to write. I need suggestions on sentence formation, grammar and writing style, so feel free to criticise. 





'I must reach the sun', I thought looking at the hundreds of glistening pieces of our beloved star. A giant fireball cut into pieces by the icy ocean. My body went numb to save me from dying. But for how long?


The funny thing about our sophisticated human body is that, when it's submerged into water at subzero temperature; the blood is withdrawn from our limbs and torso then sent to our brain to save it from dying. But the only possible way for it to survive is to get out of the water. So how can it survive if the body is numb and unmovable?

How can I?


But I have to live. I must live. I must reach the sun.

My body craves for oxygen; I have to breathe. I must move.


I must reach the sun.

The earth stood still and the sun went round,  With the blistering moon and the stars all around.  I stood and watched as the smoke surrounds,  I choked to death with people all around.  I woke up.  I sat, silently in the hall  And I tried to recall.  The dream,  What could it possibly mean?  The infinite darkness in the sunlight beam.  Is it destruction’s grand scheme? 

Castle of glass

Underneath the sun Underneath the moon Underneath the countless stars We will live our lives Just beyond the brink But why should I even think That there could be a we I am just a fool Building castles in air Made up of glass And you are just a crack And you will bring my world down Yeah, you will burn it to the ground O heart! My heart! Heart! Heart! Heart! How could you think You could solve the riddle of love Now look it made you sink It will bring you to your brink And you are a fool Creating a love When you knew it can't be shared I am just a fool Building castles in air Made up of glass And you are just a crack And you will bring my world down Yeah, you will burn it to the ground! P.S. - I know heart is the wrong organ to blame such things. The line "o heart! My heart! Heart! Heart! Heart!"  was stolen from a poem by Walt Whitman.
