Beep beep beep. I slap my alarm clock in annoyance and rise from my bed. The rumpled sheets fall to the floor as I walk to my bath room, the sounds of the City echoing up the alleyway. It was a standard morning, the news warning the citizens about the Plague's dangers and the excitement of arriving at TerraTwo. To be honest, I was too, You could see its oceans and clouds in the observation deck, and it was beautiful. I got dressed in my uniform, pulling my hair back in a pony tail. The hall outside my room was empty and bright, the LED light panels bright blue to signify the morning. I walked out my apartment building and went into the street. The City was beautiful as always, the ground gently sloping up and back around itself in a 9km …show more content…
I clutched my rifle and broke the door, shattering the glass. We stormed in, shooting our guns at the Cats, stunning them, Alex seemed uninterested but fired as well. All the Cats were down, and I marched toward the girl. What the fuck were you thinking?! You could've been torn to shreds!" I was livid, and even that was an understatement. In reply, she held up a wad of dirt, with a faintly glowing flower in her palms. "Seriously, A flower?" I sigh, knowing full well that the Cat would wake up again. I glance at the door, shut closed with a metal door after we broke the glass, I cussed silently to my self. "Okay team, we need to cut through to the other door, Alex, your job, is to keep an eye on Miss Flower here, and make sure the Cats don't kill her, because I'm pretty sure there's a good reason why she's out here" Alex scoffed "What? No way, she caused us enough trouble already." The girl laughed, " Yeah, be sides, this guy seems to not be very good at protecting things" she said pointing at a flower he just stepped on. Alex stuck his tongue out and flipped her off. "Corporal, watch it or you'll get demoted to Private" I turned my attention to the scientist. "And you, he's the best shot we have, if you'd rather be paired with some one who'd miss his target when a Cat lunges at you, be my
THE PAST :.. In days gone by, the four species managed to live in perfect harmony. Witches, werewolves and vampires lived in secret, blending in with the humans on a daily basis - and the humans remained completely in the dark about their existence. It was after thousands of years of living this way, whilst everything was completely normal, that a small group of vampires decided that they’d had enough. They spent months devising plans.
One rather beautiful day I head down to the building fields of Uruk with my only son Urnabe. He is 14 and he is turning out to be a skilled mason or at least better than his old man. When we get there I see that Binfem was already waiting for me.
I can hear the hum of taxi cabs whizzing past me as I stand on the corner of the busy downtown street. New York City! I still can't believe that I'm here or that I'm staying here. Aunt Allison was so sweet to let me live in her place whilst she travels around south America. I step out onto the road when the traffic light changed from green to red.
He was now ready for act two, Peeking out through a small crack in the boards that were nailed to the windows to keep people out it was but a few minutes when he heard the police car pull up. He watched the patrol car driving slowly as their spotlight searched the outside of the building. The windows boarded with half decayed panels of wood, glass and debris covered the yard. Jesse ducked as a beam of light flashed over his head through the cracks in the boards. He questioned, it didn’t make much sense to board up the windows and not block the doorway entrances.
Nostalgia. That’s what I’d felt, it was like an overwhelming wave of worry and happiness holding me back and not letting go, and it was. I’d also felt pain, but that was probably from the broken arm. It had been five years since I’d seen V and here we were again, both in the hospital, of our own accord. Again. My heart pumped, and I couldn’t sit still. We’d fought, literally all the time, on purpose. It’s not like we hated each other or anything. It was just our way of having fun. This is a weird way of fun. Said everyone but us.
I didn’t know what happened, but worse, I didn’t know what was happening. The sounds of footsteps neared my body, but I was too hurt to react.
All of a sudden, my legs stop working, as they often do in dreams, and I stand stock still, taking in the new landscape. Here on the outskirts of the city, where the half-demolished structures are still visible on the horizon, I notice that the wind is silent. Instead, a soft breeze rustles the trees, trees that grow leaves like the one that now lies, suffocated beneath hot, black goo. I hear the sound of rushing water and turn my head to see a small brook at the base of a grassy hill. Above me, the sky is blue and the sun shines, and all at once I feel at
The Story begins on a beach with three young children playing. Violet, 14, inventor; Klaus, 12, amateur researcher; and Sunny, baby, professional biter who has not totally developed speech. When they arrive to the beach it is a cloudy foggy overcast day. Violet is spending her time here skipping rocks, Klaus is studying tide pools and Sunny is just enjoying her time being at the beach with her older siblings. Even though it is not the greatest day in the world, the children are enjoying their time spent here at their favorite place. No other people are here on beach and this gives the children a place to be alone with their imagination. While playing a gentleman is approaching, but with the fog it scares the children because they cannot see who walks beneath the fog. As the figure gets closer they start to figure out who it is. The strange figure that lurked in the fog is Mr. Poe a friend of the family. Mr. Poe comes over to the children playing and explains to the children that their parents have perished in a fire that destroyed their home. Mr. Poe explains to the children that they will have to live with his family temporarily until he can figure out a plan as to where they will go.
she always used to wish for a way to escape her life. She saw memories
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
His fingers curled tightly around the splintering wood lining a doorframe he should have replaced years ago. The tiny shards bit into his skin, throwing pinpricks of pain across his palm. It was a testament to his indecisiveness that he barely felt it.
It was a hot and muggy August day, we had just gotten off the plane. The second we stepped outside the airport, we were hit by the crazy atmosphere. People lined up and down the streets in costumes. Shops and bars were everywhere to my left and right. I had never been anywhere like this. I knew that even though we were there for a week and a half, I would not get a chance to be bored.
“Mam, I want to pick flowers for you and Gran.” He pointed toward the hedges that stood at the woods’ edge. They were not so far away, and still a good distance from the river bank. She glanced over her shoulder back at the castle where the guard appeared to keep watch over them.
The city was blinding me with shining lights that you could see from space. It was glistening in the night and dull by day. There were cars parked all alongside the streets and traffic jams every corner.
