Gatsby Fan Fiction
Wilson 's heart pounded in his chest as he stood hidden in the ashy shadows outside Gatsby's gold mansion. Feud by vengeance, his obsession was leading him to this desperate act. The stars shimmered in the night sky over West Egg.
With trembling hands, Wilson clutched a revolver, the cold steel a chilling reminder of his intent. The extravagant party inside Gatsby's mansion raged on, the music and laughter echoing through the night. Gatsby, the host of these grand spectacles, stood at the center, and it was his presence that Wilson sought to confront. Wilson was in shambles, he didn’t know what he should do, his mind was conflicted.
Pushing through the crowd, the music's crescendo urging Wilson to do it. Gatsby's eyes met his, and an unexpected look of surprise flickered across his face. The moment had come. The gun was drawn from Wilson's pocket, and he aimed it at Gatsby. Wilson shouted, “it’s over, I have become death destroyed of worlds.”
As the world around him seemed to blur, Wilson pulled the trigger, the gunshot rang throughout the hall. Unknown to the bullet had missed its mark, hitting the glass Gatsby was holding and knocking him down, making it seem like Gatsby was killed. Chaos erupted. Glasses shattered, and people screamed. Wilson walked up to Gatsby’s body laughing psychotically. The thought occurred to Wilson, one death didn’t satisfy his rage, the anger he harbored to the world didn’t subside. Wilson decided to extract his revenge on the rest of the world, shooting innocent cars, people, and committing heinous deeds. Right before he was subdued by the police, he shot a young couple speeding away in their blue coupe (it was Tom and Daisy). Gatsby on the other hand recovered and got past it, he decided to cut ties with everybody and live out his life in solitude.
I like how descriptive your writing was, exemplifying the scene and the intensity of what was happening during your section of the story.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is interesting as it gives a different finish to the Great Gatsby. Even if the whole first part of the book was kept, your part would still fit the story perfectly. It would also change the meaning of story and create an interesting twist. Wilson would actually punish the right person for killing his wife in your story.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you focused on a minor character and gave us a lot of thought on how he feels. I also liked how you were completely able to change the outcome of the story.
