Short Story / Life of Life
As Joseph sat quietly at the dining room table he felt an indifference like never before. With his long drawn face as if he had just lost his best friend, his mother had just told him the words he didn’t want to hear, “She was at church today”. Joseph gasped at this and as he felt inside his heart the breaking sound of glass and the shards digging deeper in him. His eldest brother James stood closly nearby feeling that he should hug him or say anything. “I should just stay away from there for a while so that we do not argue about anything”, Joseph stated towards his mother. “We as christians should not faulter, and we will go unto the house of the lord to praise Him”. Joseph trying to fight back the tears said, “God help me, what shall I do”.

I think it has potential, but as it stands is just too brief – we need to know who the characters are, something about their background, who they’re discussing, and so on. Once you start working these things out, the place this has in the larger peice wll probably become more apparent. Good luck!

Not much to go on here yet. The language is a bit awkward and cliched: “indifference like never before,” “long drawn face as if he had lost his best friend,”stood closely nearby,” “or say anything,” “fight back the tears,” stood his ground wordless, and lost for his brother was in pain and therefore he was also.”
Maybe try to write more like you talk.
Pretty good cliff hangover of a beginning. You used very good imagery to describe the pain he was feeling. It leaves you wanting to know what’s going on. Makes whatever is to come sound very interesting. Pretty good, but what exactly is this section? A part of a story? The beginning? A description or just an introduction? What is it meant to be? Well, whatever part of your story I enjoyed it.
