Without You

Welcome! Please stick around

You’ve entered a polity of literature: We’re here to support your writing. The eight Reader/Advisor/Editors (RAEs) at The GOAT PoL work on eighty to a hundred stories at any given time, and each one is unique. Writing is a slow unpredictable process—the process that we support is ambitious. It’s hard work and it will take time.

 

Writing pays terribly. It takes so long! Writers at The GOAT PoL might get just pennies-per-hour by the time they’re done. You’ll earn more working for the Amazon MechanicalTurk (AMT). Don’t expect fast money.

 

The story you send is the starting place for a guided writing process that can take days, weeks, or even months. Please DON’T send writing that bores you. You should be deeply interested in the story you send. Be sure the story interests you enough to stick around, work hard on it, and complete it.

 

A note on artificial intelligence (AI): AI can be useful, but it cannot write an interesting story alone. You are a much more interesting writer than AI. If you use AI, tell your RAE about it. Please don’t send us boring stories written only by AI. Send us your writing, and tell your RAE how you made it.

 

 

By clicking “close” I confirm that I am ready to stick around and work by writing and reading at The GOAT PoL.

Without you here beside me,
The nights are cold and long
Without you, I am a sun without light and a sky without stars
I am a house without roof and a bird without wings
I am a galaxy without planet and a human without soul
Hurry home and hold me
In your arms, where I belong
My dreams smell of being with you
My happiness expands with you
Where are you?
The loneliness eats me away
You are not only my heartbeats but also my Heaven
I never knew it would be so bitter
To be alone
I am slowly dying without your kiss
If l lose staring into your eyes forever
Then perhaps without breath, I am in a better place.
