What's the story about???

Anyways, you're good at describing :3 But I think an actual introduction to the story would help...

Wow 30 posts??

Honestly, nobody's going to give you 30 replies to write a story, especially one that they don't even know it's about.

Critique? Yes.

I made that a while ago and i need 30 posts to write chapter 1!

First off, grammar. I is capitalised when you're using it as a personal pronoun. Also, I think you forgot a few commas or semicolons. You also need to stop using run-on sentences every other word.

I'll do this paragraph by paragraph.

"As the bloody fingers grasped my neck i could see my life flash before my eyes. I see laughter, tears, familiar faces, friends and family."

First, this is barely coherent. It feels random. Give me something similar to an introduction before you bring in random bloody fingers. I liked the structuring of the second sentence, sure, but it still felt random.
Also, I think you should leave out the "I see". It makes it seem as though you were reciting this, not actually feeling it. Show, not tell.

"Then i get back to reality. As I felt the wet, red hands correse my neck, I couldnt breath, nor say anything. No sound came from my now dried up mouth. I tried as hard as i could to scream for help, but nothing came out. Then i couldnt even move until i felt my body get heavy, and slowly drop to the bloody red floor."

The first sentence was not an appropriate transition. It feels stuck-on, and fake. Try something more like: "with a shudder and a gasp, my vision clears and I am back in reality".
As for the second sentence, what is a correse? That's not a word. I'm positive you mean "caress"? But that's not a good word choice, either. Try "grasp" or "choke" or "close around", maybe. You caress lovingly. Murdering someone lovingly? Not so much.
ALSO: you're telling, not showing again. What does it feel like to not breathe? Did she try to scream, only to hear a dry cough? Nice try, but I can't imagine the situation.
The third sentence is repetitive. Cut it out.
The fourth sentence is repetitive. Cut it out.
The fifth sentence is random. I have no idea how much time passed since the hands first began to "caress" her neck, but I'm sure it's an unrealistic amount.

Also, you use the word "bloody" or "blood" or "wet, red" too often. Stop being so bloody British!

Aside from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style, and the story is intriguing enough.

Lastly: YOU WON'T GET 30 POSTS. DON'T EVEN TRY. FAIL.

I repeat what Makky says with a different few word choices, and some unwitty side responses.

Aside from that, I feel utterly unsure about this story. Bloody fingers wasn't a good choice, I would have started something like that with a flash back, but bloody fingers is a nono. I also feel like it is very cliché, if its about zombies, vampires, werewolves, I only have one thing to say, "cliché".
Last sentence, why is the floor bloody and red? The floor isn't bleeding is it? No, your body is...
I dunno, I'm gonna stop here.

Good point there. Her word choice is a little... "weak". And the words blood, bloody, wet , and red made me NOT want to read the story because I don't like violence, but good point there, Makkine.

I agree with the telling part.When it comes to description try not to use "ing" adjectives and "I see" and "I hear" this is more like telling not feeling.
Your reader doesn't always want to be told, they want to feel the tension and fear your story is bringing.
Other then that listen to Makkine, when it comes to things like this she would be the one to listen to.

pale jeez. I didnt want it to be published or turned to an actual book or anything. I know I said I welcomed the critisism. My bad. But I deleted it ok? And plus, I wrote it when I was younger after a scary movie my brother let me watch. He gave me the words "Carese" ok? Thats what I meant by while ago. So lay off. But, wait, never mind, free speech. blah blah. Im gonna get on with my life, can you people? silent

Well, sorry. But it's true, it's important to use proper grammar. I'm not hiding behind "free speech" as an excuse, mostly because I wasn't even being rude.

I love writing. It's my life. And I also love teaching those who aren't so good at it how to improve. I was merely helping you be better, I wasn't personally offending you or anything. Even if it isn't serious, critique is ALWAYS useful. If you can't take it, don't ask for it. Simple.

@ Rock N Roll- Free is right. Never delete a post. It's just that your prologue has some grammar mistakes. We are trying to make it more interesting to the readers. And you have to show, not tell.
