My Creative Writing Piece

I'm a person who really enjoys stories, whether it be in the format of books or films. It always feels so great when you find a story with an enthralling plot and great character development. Unfortunately, I'm not so great at being able to write stories even though I have loads of ideas for complex plots in my head. I just struggle to make it flow into an actual story.

However, last year, we had an AS English coursework piece which was to produce a gothic creative writing piece with the influence of the works of Edgar Allan Poe. I struggled for ages with this and then finally, my mind wandered to Death Eaters and Greek Mythology. And I decided to humour these ideas and just play around with this piece. And in the end, I actually liked how it turned out. I really enjoyed writing this piece and I think it's because I was able to combine my interests. And I was so happy when I received full marks for this piece :)

Anyway, I thought I'd share it:








































I really like the literary techniques and symbolism I used and all the hidden meanings (and the number of Harry Potter and Greek Mythology references I was able to put in). P.S. I've used a Harry Potter spell :)
