This is a part of the beginning of something I'm writing.. I don't dare to put out more than this here yet. Anyway, the story is about a boy and a girl, and a bubble. He is the purple racoon and she is the pink racoon. Not literally, though, they are human beings. (ps. Me be norwegian, I not very good english be speaking all the time.)

[purple racoon]
I looked at this person standing in front of me, mainy because I thought that if I didn’t look at her she might do something severely annoying to seek my attention. She had a beautiful figure, this female human creature, her hair was long and sleek in different nuances of brown and dark blonde. Her eyes were as empty as a bottomless grave, and I was sure that there was something dead crawling around in there. She spoke to me, but her words were none that I would ever care to repeat. A few minutes into her vague attempt to begin a conversation with me, I stopped listening to her. Let me rephrase that, I was not listening, but now with even less of an imitation to be pretending that I was, instead I studied her lips. They moved so funny when she talked, to imagine that so tremendously boring words could come out of so well-shaped lips fascinated me. I asked the hollow girl if she would like to come home to my apartment, she spoke some more hollow words, then she said yes. I did not have an apartment.
The girl walked next to me, and her voice became more and more annoying as she spoke. “Shut up!” I suddenly shouted at her, and she did, at least in my head, “let’s go to a restaurant” I told the girl. There was a teeny spider on my hand which I watched intensely until it all of a sudden was gone. “spider spider spider” I whispered, but it didn’t reappear. “hello?!”, the stupid girl was waving her hands in front of my face, why did she do such a retarded gesture, I wondered. We walked in to a restaurant packed with disgusting people, there was no chance of getting a table, and I did not have any intentions of sitting at one if there had been. I dragged the girl’s manicured hand with me in to the men’s bathroom and in to one of the boxes where there was a toilet.
The girl kept trying to kiss me, for what reason I have no idea, I had no intention of touching those squeaking lips of hers in any way or another. I held a handkerchief over her mouth with my hand, her empty eyes showed some kind of confusion or some other similar imitation of a feeling. I took up the sharp fork I always carried in my left pocket, and rapidly I shoved it into her body several times. She screamed, and so the handkerchief slipped deeper into her mouth, there was a loud silence coming from her throat. I ripped up her inside and left her on the toilet, all wriggle and wriggle she was now. I flushed and took off my dark blue jacket, it would need to be cleansed. I walked slowly out of the restaurant, “spider spider spider” I whispered, but the little spider was gone.
 
Great minds think alike! I was just writing about a little mouse named Flora who got stabbed 73 times with a Mont Blanc pen and had her eyes cut out and her tail clipped off. It's sort of a love story.

Also, I noticed at least two or three other recent stories with similar themes.

Coincidence? Something in the water?

BTW, I liked the part about not having an apartment.
 
Thank you :) The story is a lot longer though, perhaps I'll post some more of it here. ^This little part is only about the guy in the story and what he does before he meets the girl (it's not a love story). This is the girl, the pink racoon, a little later. (Kero is the guy)


...
The pink sky had started to fill with transparent clouds, “dreams” I said and pointed at them, because that was what they were. We closed our eyes and continued to walk into the bubble, there was a little path that led to wherever we walked. I don’t know when I fell asleep, or if I fell asleep at all, but I dreamt about something deep purple, something slow and illuminating with a soft humming sound, then there were pretty words flying around everywhere around me, words of no language or letters. I woke up to Kero’s voice singing, he was asleep. We were lying in each others arms under a gigantic tree, it was almost like a house with its long branches that hang down towards the ground, raindrops sparkled on some of the leaves. I slowly stepped outside of the hanging branches and looked around. There were words flying everywhere, just like in my dream, it was confusing and made me wonder if I still slept. But then I looked back through the branches and saw that Kero lay there, singing with words impossible to interpret. Perhaps his words were the ones that flew around me. I walked a little further away from the tree and tried to catch a word. I ran and jumped at them, but no matter how hard I tried I did not manage to catch one in my hands.
It was one of the words in particular which fascinated me, because it smelled like candy and it made little twinkling noises. I followed the word without noticing where it went, and as the word finally disappeared completely, I found myself standing in the middle of a forest full of tall colourful floating hats, the type of hats that men with black suits wore in the old days, except from the colours of the hats though. The path that had been under me before was now gone and I felt a sense of panic evolve in my stomach. All I thought about at that moment was that I had to get back to Kero, I had to find him. I ran as fast as I could in the direction I guessed I had come from, I ran for what seemed like ages but as I could see in the distance and beyond was hats. It was as though I didn’t move at all, there were hats everywhere and they started to make little, almost unhearable noises, as though they were laughing at me.
“No!” I yelled, “this is my bubble! I don’t want any stupid hats in here!”, and I fell down on my knees and let the tears run down my cheeks. I closed and opened my eyes several times just to see if the hats might’ve disappeared, but they didn’t disappear, they just continued to silently mock me. “Stupid hats”, I stood up and tried to grab one of them, but they simply moved away from my grip, which indeed was the reason I hadn’t ran into one. I couldn’t touch the hats. I started to laugh, I laughed and I laughed and I just couldn’t stop. I couldn’t hear the low noises of the hats anymore, then I began to sing a song that Kero once made up. I closed my eyes and started to walk slowly backwards, then I begun to spin around. I got dizzy but I didn’t care, I just wanted to escape from the hats and I had no idea what I was doing.

You are funny, novella! (and accurate!)

I really liked the part about not having an apartment, too. I also liked the part about 'such boring words from such well-formed lips'.

There are a lot of cute little phrases in here that i think are great.

What's up with the spider?
 
The spider isn't the point, the point is how he reacts to the spider and how fascinating it is to him. That is, if there at all is a spider there ;)
