I ran fast gliding through the hollow forest. The forest looked so small and yet it was a huge plain that never moved. The trees stood stiff as they whispered hushed tones to each other. Glass surrounded every tree as a sign telling all the loyal citizens of cratopia that this territory was dangerous, forbidden. A tall metal fence stood in front of me with a huge sign that read out. RESTRICTED KEEP OUT Why was I running? Where was I? How did I get here? These Questions ran the principal character in my mind. My shirt was ripped, making my skin visible. Scares covered my muscles, as blood overlapped them. “He’s over here you idiot “a voice called out. The shadows, …show more content…
My body was dyeing away, My breathing ragged and noiseless, but still it drew out at a slow pace. My footsteps made a fast crunching sound as I ran across the heavy and still ground.
I was starving and my stomach fought for survival. My mind became numb and weak and I couldn’t think anymore. I got the water bottle that had been strapped onto the position of my back pack. The water was nearly gone and only a serving of 3 drops lay there. After so many hours trying to complete my thoughts did I do something to them? I thought. Night had fallen and it was now dark and silent, making me relax a little as I camouflaged in the tree. My throat was dry now and my breath began to slow down. A panic had hit me making me strike up and look around. “It’s a shirt, do you still know how to use your eyes” a voice had set in my head. They had been beneath me holding my torn shirt. I sat still, not daring to move. A sharp glass ball blew into me and I shifted my body to fit the pain. “If you can't do your job, then I demand that you be killed” a sharp raspy voice screamed out. His voice was harsh very harsh and loud as if he had been the commander and chief of the ground forces. The other voices had hushed down by now no one daring to even
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.
As I inched my way toward the cliff, my legs were shaking uncontrollably. I could feel the coldness of the rock beneath my feet when my toes curled around the edge in one last futile attempt at survival. My heart was racing like a trapped bird, desperate to escape. Gazing down the sheer drop, I nearly fainted; my entire life flashed before my eyes. I could hear stones breaking free and fiercely tumbling down the hillside, plummeting into the dark abyss of the forbidding black water. The trees began to rapidly close in around me in a suffocating clench, and the piercing screams from my friends did little to ease the pain. The cool breeze felt like needles upon my bare skin, leaving a trail of goose bumps. The threatening mountains surrounding me seemed to grow more sinister with each passing moment, I felt myself fighting for air. The hot summer sun began to blacken while misty clouds loomed overhead. Trembling with anxiety, I shut my eyes, murmuring one last pathetic prayer. I gathered my last breath, hoping it would last a lifetime, took a step back and plun...
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
With darkness looming, the sound of insects gradually descended into complete eerie silence. My stomach was wrenched in knots, and the chill in the damp air has made the act of shivering painful. My palms felt clammy and adrenaline coursing through my system. The moon illuminated in the somber pitch black sky.
“No!” I protested. “It’s very light.” I said lifting it up. “Let’s fight!” I yelled and he charged at me. We both struck with the swords and met in an “X” in the middle and they had made a loud crack sound, like a piece of broken glass scratching against a blackboard. My arms shivered and sent multiple shocks of sharp stabbing pain up my arms.
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.
My eyes lifted open. The light wind brushing against my face, the dewy, dirty grass making my bare feet wet and chalky, Large trees surrounded the area i was in, i couldn’t make out the type, or color of the trees as the towered above me, creating looming shadows of the moons bright light. An approaching deer, from the inside of the deep, deep dark forest emerged. It batted its large eyelids, flicked its ears also. I slowly approached, the deer's legs trembled, as it obviously wanted to lose my gaze, escape from this slowly approaching man.
My hand shaking at every thought, a cold shiver ran down my spine as cold sweat trickled down the side of my forehead. I lifted my hand up and a strong smell hit my nose, it was the smell of blood. I lifted the object and shock hit me like lightening, fear displaced my sadness, sickness changed my bloodstream from blood to a thick liquid pus and vomit. I held the muscle with my right hand as my left hand was paralysed with shock. The adrenaline shot me forcing me to move but shock shattered me into thin slices that were impossible to put back again.
The sweat began to pour from my body, while my heart raced to pump blood at an accelerated rate. The chase was on.
Days later... Things have been different but in a good way. It's like Evan is a different person. Or maybe he's just himself now. He stopped avoiding me, we can talk for hours without him getting all moody.
The King's Roar In an enormous castle of the great kingdom of Ecli, a well dressed man with scarlet hair runs vigorously through the dusky halls. Through the halls he went, and to a huge dark library. The doors closed behind him immediately as he came in with a loud noise like dragon stomps. He summons a sword in his hand and loudly shouts, “Shall we talk in face to face?”
Habits of the Creative Minds is a simple textbook with a particular twist. I began reading the book thinking it was going to be a basic textbook, but the author,Richard E. Miller and Ann Jurecic, changed the tone of the book and put it into a metaphor. This metaphor was about the reader in your writing, or for anyone reading should feel like Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The reader should be reading, and figuratively fall into the reading, by this the authors means the reader should not want to put that book down. They should be engulfed in the book and read from cover to cover. The attention must be maintained and the best way to do this is by making the writing unique. The authors of this book puts
As I got comfortable, there was a sound of an engine working harder, and the sound of gravel getting crunched under 5,000 pounds of metal, and wheels. I felt a bump then everything smooths out. I looked out the shiny widow, and as I do, I see yellow strips fly by. I smell of overcrowding, and hear my brothers and sisters arguing. I look out through the icy window, and see a blanket of darkness slowly fade away into the morning, then my hot breath clouds the window into a white fog. As I wrap my hands around the cold water bottle, and twist the cap I feel it breaking off, and hear the cap rip off. I tasted a taste of sweet water, there was a feeling of the dryness in my mouth melts away.
When do you feel like it's time for a change? I’ll tell you a story about a girl who always felt misunderstood. Well, to start with her appearance she was about 5’5 and 135 pounds curvier than other girls, really dark skin almost like a healthy dark chocolate Hershey’s kiss. Her hair was always burgundy like piece of red velvet cake, she had some many ear piercing you would think she was part of a rock band. Only you will learn she didn’t belong to anything.
My stomach retched, my throat dry, had I got myself into this mess? A distant thud echoed across the cold, hard floor, ricocheting into my ear. Someone was coming.
