Last Hope Motel: Dead End.

Right now I'm drunk. It's 4 a.m. and I'm driving nowhere. The night's cool and quiet; I'm not. I go as fast as I can wishing maybe a rabbit or the jackal chasing it will get caught in the headlights making my reflexes spring into action, making me turn the steering wheel violently in the hopes that the little animal won't be just another innocent victim, like myself... the scared little creep looking back at me, standing in the middle of the highway frozen in fear; then my reaction and then this car bouncing out of control until it crashes against a cactus tree. Away from everything there'd be no help... it'll be a lonely, painful and slow death. I can see it a thousand times in my mind... but, am I not already dying?

This thing I'm feeling... at first I thought it was rage... now I know it's not rage, is frustration... in the end, just sadness... plain and simple, dark and blue sadness; just like this desert.

Looking into the rearview mirror I can see how everything´s changed, despite we promised each other it never would. Things doesn't work all the time; I stopped caring some time ago. She was my life, now there's nothing left.

What's that? Are those neon lights? I fear I'm coming closer at an increasing speed. I don't recognize the distance between things anymore, and I don't really care: the bottle of gin at my side has taken care of it. Suddenly it's too late when I realize I'm driving my car directly against a building, a motel of sorts. I don't bother to close my eyes and wait for the collision. If this is the end, it'd make a good death. I'm almost there where I finally die nailed to a wall, crushed inside my car's cabin. I can't wait for the impact. I resist once again the urge to close my eyes, the thrill exciting the liquor in my blood, my heart pumping faster and faster... but then reality loses its grip on me as I break through the motel as if it were an illusion, its walls made of the same fabrics dreams are made of. Instead of crashing against it I found out the place rests at the end of a cliff which sends me flying away into the darkness of whatever lies beyond the end of the world.

El relato de este amigo revela un detalle importante sobre la naturaleza del dichoso Motel. Es como un purgatorio o algo así. Buena redacción: Para este último capitulo y después de la lectura de los demás relatos, en mi imaginación existe cohesión entre el lugar, los personajes descritos y las sensaciones a transmitir. Aún siendo muy cortos han establecido una idea completa y clara de la idea general sin restarle la posibilidad de seguir aportandole creatividad con más personajes y situaciones.

Taking a piece of paper, and write down everything that you can think of, without processing it, you can break the writer's block very easily - this is called the "brain dumping" method. When it comes to breaking through blocks like this, speed writing is something that you can use to write down everything that you are thinking about. As you write down this content, the spelling, grammar and punctuation will not even be considered during this process. The only goal here is to put every single thought related to your article's topic on paper - you'll actually be surprised to see the results once you're done. Later on, you can use re-structure and proof read this article to make it presentable.
