The Scape
I awoke to the blue sky and the sun gleaming at me like its saying to get up. I get up with a headache and with torn shirt and torn pants and driftwood around the sea. I feel the grains of sand on my wrinkled toes from the water. I don’t remember anything and I’m on an island with a big spot with tropical fauna and a big mountain that is as big as the Ural mountain range and what seems to be a little island near it with sharks swimming, waiting for its next victim. I’m vulnerable and useless on this island and I don’t know what to do but I must not die today and I will not die today and I promise that because I want to go home but I can’t remember where my home is but I will go there and sail to where I can finally have a home.

I walk around the beach with the tiny grains of the beach tickling me while running across the beach to see the native animals around the place like turtles, crabs and birds. Then when I looked over my head which is covered with sweat from the blistering sun over me as I turn my head I saw something out of the normal well for something for an island, a plane stuck between the beach and in the sea and with a bit a smoke that seems that its crashed earlier but with of blood splatters which I think that means nobody survived. I ran as fast as I could to see the plane’s tail and wings were gone. I get through a small hole in the plane and see the broken carnage of the plane’s inside and ceiling is about to fall on top of me. I checked the tops and found suit cases which was mad with cheap plastic and was filled with soap which is the dove brand, new clothes that was a red shirt with a smiley face on it and new blue jeans which is made by American eagle giving me a hint of what airline might of flew through here like a Atlanta airliner, and a box of saltine crackers which was probably bought at a grocery store and with a cool design of a saltine cracker with a cowboy costume. I get out on the plane which was hard because it had sharp edges around the hole I went through and as I could tell I’m going to be here for a while because it seems like no planes are coming over here since there was a crash, which means I’m going to have to survive the harsh nature of hunger, thirst and protection but most of all sadness and being
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.
It was a murky overcast summer's eve; crisp morsels of rain splashed on the ground vigorously. Sounds of jet engines buzzed in the back of my ear lobes through the torrential downpour. The common sight of the departure time of our flight being delayed yet again caught my eye as we turned the corner towards the gate. Almost an hour later we began to finally line up at the gate to get on the what then seemed massive jet plane. I remember looking out the gigantic floor to ceiling windows at providence airport at the bright blue, red and orange of the jet, so excited to be going on it. Our family carefully chose seats right near the wing emergency exits. I rushed to the window seat, plopped down and buckled my seat belt. I was ready to go to Florida. I barely took up half of the seat, I was 8 or 9, and as a curious kid I was touching nearly anything I could put my hands on. I remember soon after we sat down in the back row on the left of the aircraft the same side as us, I heard a great commotion. A woman at the back was on the phone telling her friend she had drugs and she just took them. Not soon after three men boarded the plane. One had
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
I was having a blast, a whole summer being at home with my friends. Until one day I got more that I bargained for.My friend, Caleb, and I were out surfing one day waiting for the tide to start rollin in. Then all of the sudden Caleb as knocked of his board. As I look around all I could see was the icy blue ocean take the appearance of a battle ground. I remember the scream that destroyed my soul. The shaking of the water coming from a man fighting for his life. I remember the words coming out of my mouth “Hey we should go surfing at Buffels bay today, it 's pretty goddamn rad there”. The feeling of guilt that took over my body, along with the fear of what will happen next. I remember the haunting image of a man missing his leg being taken away by the metal angel we call helicopters. A week later Caleb was alive, but was not left untouched like me. He was missing his left leg from the knee down, he was attacked by a great white shark. This was the moment that my life changed. I could never focus on the nightmare inducing screams, but I focused that how incredibly lucky I am to have walked away from this whole event unharmed. I focused on the fact that two months later Caleb was back into the ocean, something I could never
Thoughts began rushing through my mind…my family…. my home. I remember my life before being stranded on the island. I remember the island and everything that happened. I quickly became vulnerable and started crying. As I felt my tears run down my face I felt anger, pain, happiness and regret. The officer leaning against the door made his way to the edge of my bed “You’ll be alright son, you’re safe now.” He awkwardly patted my back in attempt to comfort me. “I have
I can’t wait until we reach America, when our lives will change for the better. We are in the dining room, enjoying a lovely dinner that consists of bread and mashed potatoes. My brothers and I are talking about what we will do once we reach America. Then, all of a sudden, we hear a loud noise. Bang! A huge vibration ran through the room, and instantly I know something is wrong. Maybe it is instinct, or maybe it is just my imagination after what my family has been through, but I know something is not right. I raced to the top deck with my brothers in tow, and we took the steps two at a time. There, we saw people running frantically and gathering women and children. Mothers were grabbing their children, and shoving them on life rafts. A man grabbed my shoulders, and when I looked at him, he looked to be someone official.
When I stepped into the large neatly organized white polished plane, I never though something would go wrong. I woke up and found myself on an extremely hot bright sunny desert island filled with shiny soft bright green palm trees containing rough bright yellow hard felt juicy apples. The simple strong plane I was in earlier shattered into little pieces of broken glass and metal when crashing onto the wet slimy coffee colored sand and burning with red orange colored flames. After my realization to this heart throbbing incident I began to run pressing my eight inch footsteps into the wet squishy slimy light brown sand looking in every direction with my wide open eyes filled with confusion in search of other survivors. After finding four other survivors we began moving our small petite weak legs fifty inches from the painful incident. Reaching our destination which was a tiny space filled with dark shade blocking the extreme heat coming from the bright blue sky, I felt my eyelids slowly moving down my light colored hazel eyes and found myself in a dream. I was awakened the next day from a grumbling noise coming from my empty stomach.
The ship broke in half like a twig. The back end of the boat was then crushed by ten-foot waves; my men were gone, separated from me and never to be seen again. After being tossed overboard, I swam my way to a shore nearby where I then slept on the beach until the morning. When I awoke, I found that I had swam to a small island. There were dead trees along the shore with branches
As I saunter onto the school field, I survey the premises to behold people in coats, shielding themselves from winter's blues. The sun isn't out yet, but the place bursting with life and exuberance, with people gliding across the ice covered floor almost cat-like. The field is effervescent and despite the dire conditions, the field seems to have taken on a life of its own. The weather is bad and the ice seems to burn the skin if touched, yet the mood is still euphoric. The bare shrubs and plants about the place look like they've been whipped by Winter himself. The air is frosty and at every breath the sight of steam seems to be present. A cold, cruel northerly wind blows across the playground and creates unrest amongst some. Crack! The crisp sound of leaves is heard, as if of ice splitting and hissing. Squirrels are seen trying to find a point of safety, scurrying about the bare trees that lie around the playground. Mystery and enigma clouds the playing field, providing a sense of anticipation about the place. Who is going to be the person to spoil the moment? To kill the conversation?
This place used to make me feel alive, but now it only serves as a reminder of what I have lost. Once, I stood on the edge of these cliffs, hair swept back by the wind, revelling in the power of the ocean. Knowing that I could jump made me want to live. Now, I simply feel numb. The sky opens, torrents of rain drowning out everything and everyone.
With pallid skin and gleaming eyes I was laying there on the boundary where the promised land meets the immense blue sea. The rhythmic dance of the salty waves washed me ashore. My mind was stressed, confused and alienated. I felt lucky for once, as I had realised that I was the only saved soul on that remote abandoned island. I looked up to the sky.
Similar to any other day, the decaying, dark town of Bodie silently stood still, muted of any kind of significant sound but the powerful winds that violently shook from day till dusk. Thick, foggy, clouds lurked over the impoverished lands, and ever so slowly made their way to the dull skies. Somehow, all of what was once here, was lost. This deserted town had no hope left. Murky pathways, deprived of water, cracked and broke, as they would slowly rot away as all the remaining moisture in the broad, burning air evaporated, swallowed by the wandering clouds above.
I hear a shriek to the right of me. I immediately look over, only to see a young girl, now laughing, who had slipped. But now I’m shaking, that yell reminding me of that day. I spin around, the sight and smells bringing back too many memories. I start to run back, away from the loud, roar of the waves.
All I could feel was rugged sand all over my body and in my mouth. Land, we had washed ashore! Then I remembered fully what had happened last night. I began to look for Tom. "Tom, Tom, Where are you!!" There was no sign of him anywhere. Then I saw the footprints in the sand.
I am in the middle of an ocean. I don't know how I got here, or who I even am. I am on a small boat, wearing tattered clothing. I am covered in cuts bruises and I feel sick to my stomach. It is freezing and I am soaking wet.
