Arissa, a British poet, had gotten into deep trouble; one wrong turn down the road and she would have to accept the fact that death was approaching her, very soon! This is her story.
As Arissa and Nicholas, Arrissa’s younger brother, a mechanic, were headed on their way home after a late night party, they were about to encounter a real thrill, their last one! While they drove, Arissa had a sense that something dreadful was going to happen.
As they went down the empty- deserted highway it started to rain quite heavily. Arissa could hear the spattering of the raindrops crashing onto the window. Slowly she started to shut her eyes, due to exhaustion.
Suddenly, because of the abundant rain and wind, Nicholas lost control of the car. Twisting and turning, unable to gear it, they landed in a place neither of them knew.
“OH MY GOD! Sweet baby Jesus! Wh-where on Earth are w-we?” Arissa asked cautiously. “I… have...no idea!” replied Nicholas in terror.
Puzzled and frightened, Arissa pressured her brother to make a right turn. With all the screaming and heavy breathing from Arissa, it caused Nicholas to follow her instructions, which he rarely did. But, it wasn’t the right turn, it was a wrong turn, a wrong turn down Slang Hollows Lane!
As the car slowly made its way through the dark-creepy lane, which was surrounded by a swamp and dead trees, supernatural events started to happen!
When the car started to make unusual noises, Arissa knew that couldn’t be good. As the noises increased the car slowed down. Several seconds later it finally came to an abrupt stop right in front of a sign. This brought shivers down Arissa’s spine; it read: “You have successfully reached half way through Slang Hollows Lane.” It was then Arissa knew tha...

...d a devious serpent smile on his face, that made Arissa feel as if her spine was replaced with ice. It was no mistake on Arissa’s part. That ghostly figure was holding a solid-pointy axe in his hand. IT WAS DEFINITELY AXE MAN!
As Axe man slowly approached Arissa she knew that there was a possibility of her surviving if she made a run for it. So, Arissa turned back, preparing to run as fast as she could when, suddenly, Slang Worchay came right in front of her. He became infuriated. He yelled in his deep-shuddery voice, which gradually increased in volume. “You dare to ESCAPE ME?!”.”No…b…u…,”stammered Arissa, unable to defend herself. SLASH!
The last thing Arissa saw was a little shine of the reflection from his axe! Once again, Slang Worchay demonstrated his uncontrollable temper and unforgiving nature I grew up with everyday.

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    Eric Burdon once said, “Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It's a constant struggle as to which one will win. And one cannot exist without the other”. Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road, illustrates a recurring motif of Good vs. Evil in a charred post-apocalyptic universe. This new world that is scorched of life contains the father and son duo who go one each day with Good and Evil lurking behind. The father and son, for most of the novel, are the good side of the spectrum but even the good in people parts away when the stress of living one more day is constantly knocking on the front door. McCarthy’s larger purpose in writing The Road is to show how Good and Evil coincide with each other while facing identical circumstances.

    Now I had the old car racing down the road and off the ridge at something close to 80 mph simply because that was all the speed I could wring out of it. I'd made one turn, but there was one more ahead before we entered the valley and the town that lay astraddle a creek. The next turn was a sharp, banking left-hander, edged by a dozen or so white posts laced together by steel cables, and oncoming traffic was obscured by a little hill.

    Disappointment, disbelief and fear filled my mind as I lye on my side, sandwiched between the cold, soft dirt and the hot, slick metal of the car. The weight of the car pressed down on the lower half of my body with monster force. It did not hurt, my body was numb. All I could feel was the car hood's mass stamping my body father and farther into the ground. My lungs felt pinched shut and air would neither enter nor escape them. My mind was buzzing. What had just happened? In the distance, on that cursed road, I saw cars driving by completely unaware of what happened, how I felt. I tried to yell but my voice was unheard. All I could do was wait. Wait for someone to help me or wait to die.

  • Auto Wreck, by Karl Shapiro

    738 Words  | 2 Pages

    Auto Wreck is an ominous, grim, and disturbing poem written by Karl Shapiro about death, fate, coincidence and the envisioning of reality. In this harsh poem Shapiro describes an awful car accident where many people ends up dead. He flawlessly employes a unique imagery and language that gives the reader a clear and true sensation of the terrible mishap. The author makes us feel as if we had seen and even experienced the car collision ourselves. Although it may see that the main focus in this poem is death, which is one of the most important, the poet also throws in the way he and everyone else saw everything after the accident, how their emotions changed, and how they envisioned reality afterward. Shapiro not only acknowledges and makes vivid the deaths that just occurred and how different people reacted to it, but he also discusses how much of an accident it really was, how someone had to be guilty and if anyone was really innocent at all.

    I had driven home this way a thousand times before, but today would be different. The misty rain made the road slick as I steered the car through the slow, wide curve. It may have been the setting sun in my eyes, but it was probably a combination of the loud song on the radio and the slight yawn that escaped from my mouth. Regardless, a momentary distraction was all it took as the tires hit the damp gravel. The wet rubber and slick stones triggered the car to slide off the road to the right. In a panic, I jerked the wheel to the left, over-correcting the slide. Swerving across oncoming traffic, my car jumped over the drainage ditch and smashed down into a neighbor’s front yard. Continuing its dangerous journey, the car destroyed a lamp
