...wouldn't stop.

"Anna!" My head was pounding. Her voice seemed far away. I felt like I had to vomit again. "Anna! Keep your head down!" It seemed like a strange request. Why keep my head down? Were we hiding from somebody? Was someone shooting at us? What about the party? But I did as I was asked, desperate to get rid of those black lights and that sickening feeling in my throat. I tried to keep my breathing even, and within about thirty seconds I noticed that the black lights were filing off of the stage of my vision. I felt better. I also noticed that my mother's hand was placed gently on the small of my back. "Mom?"

"Anna..." she sounded relieved. This time I observed it, I didn't know it. "I think you fainted, sweetie. Maybe we should call off the party."

"Okay..." I mumbled, too woozy to object to ending her fun.

That was the first time I passed out. It wouldn't be the last.

Author Guidance for this Story

Guidance? None really. Well, I wrote this four days after fainting for the first time myself. So yeah, I think I got it down as to how it feels and such. That was an interesting time. There wasn't a party going on in reality, though. And I was in the shower. I figured setting the story in there would be like inviting perverts. You never know.

But I digress.

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a branch to an existing story, make sure that the new branches you create are individually appealing. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
If you're writing a collaborative story, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
