Is this sentence grammatically correct?

I'm practicing writing a fiction using imagery of dark and light. Inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Your school is so bright so that I can't be with you. My school is so dark: We can't be together.
We can be together at the park where dark and light can be met.

Most of this is correct English, though the imagery seems somewhat intriguing, intentionally or otherwise. I imagine that you probably mean "can meet" rather than "can be met". Some people might object to the use of a capital after the colon.

interesting writing


fiction is an uncountable noun, so don't say 'a fiction'.

Say eg 'some fiction' or 'a piece of fiction'.

Keep on writing!
