This is just a prolouge to the story it may be a bit pointless but it will fit in with the story

Prologue

Life can be cruel. It has all the ups and downs, but you are still screaming all the way, and all you can do is wait it out. They say patience is a virtue, but you still have to wait for it, and sometimes it doesn’t come until your waiting for death whenever that might be, but only because you have to be patience with death. Sure there is still the ups of life, love, friends, family and companionships, but what if it was all taken away from you, now that would be cruel, or you can say that’s life. But it still all adds up to one ending, death.
Life is like an illness killing you. Every time you start getting better or start having hope it just creeps up on you. It might just be the thought of how life might be pointless, or maybe you could be on the edge from death. But still now matter what happens in life it just ends up the same. This story however is not about running from death, quite the opposite in fact but I’ll let you find that out.

The problem with prologues
Written by Bottleblondesurfer (3590 comments posted) 14th May 2006
A very intriguing prologue but why not just tell us the story and let us make our own mind up. Ioften find people find things in my story I didn't realise were there and so it is sometimes better not to give prologues as they can guide the reader too much. Try us with the story
Thanx for the tip

I shall look forward to the next bit. I quite like the idea of episodic work, shall look forward to the next installment. 
 
If you could drop the bold would make it easier to read.
