The warm morning sun lit up the spring skies. The chapel was lit only by the dwindling sunlight seeping through stained glass windows which patterned the ground in fluorescent colours that danced along the cold marble floor. Massive pillars protruded from the ground, towering above the rich deep mahogany benches, and the fragile chandelier that shone like diamonds was dangling from the night sky on strands of web covered in dew. The rain swept through the exposed, cracked bricks and wind whispered through the unkempt grass that protruded from the rotting wooden floor boards which was a ghoulish shade of decay, antiquity, as well as dissolution. A dark silhouette of figure lurked underneath the shadows.
“Could you spare a little time with us, …show more content…

“You see; they been looting decaying human carrion from graves and such. We must get rid of this nuisance, but your husband has seemed to have gotten caught up in this.” He spoke with a malicious grin. The wrinkled man casually tossed small bloodied golden ring embedded with a tiny diamond towards her as it landed in the muddied floor. The woman’s cold blue eyes widened in fear. The blood drained away from her face and her body shivered with a wave of abhorrence that swept through her. She stood frozen like a marble sculpture as a great tremor over took …show more content…

Slowly Gaia lost rhythm of his breath as his throat tightened and vision blurred. A torrent of tears forced their way out of his eyes, stinging his cheeks. Gaia turned to look into his mother’s pleading eyes. He turned and ran, not looking behind him. The young boy sprinted on short pencil-thin legs faster than he knew he could.
Water fell through the disintegrating roof which was eaten way at by age and a putrid smell of decay filled the room. The woman took a stance with her broad wings outstretched and flared towards the ends like a crow about to take flight. The ruffled curve brushed against her wet cheek. The light reflected off her corvid feathers producing a brilliant array of deep metallic blues and greens and her diamond eyes filled with fury “I won’t let you go.” She growled.
The gunshots cracked into the air as loud as thunder, whirling past the woman’s ear. The noise reverberated in her ears, ringing throughout the chapel. Firework-like bullets exploded around her and empty bullet casing rained down like golden

    My eyes follow the jet black hands on my watch that creep more and more nigh five past six. As the big hands of the clock pass the minutes go by that guarantee relief from agony. The more that time expires, the flowers begin to wither like the hope in my heart that Hester with arriving at the cathedral due to the notice is given by the letter. The wind howls and slams into the cathedral doors giving me false hope that the women of my dreams will be walking through the door. Bending at the waist, and praying to god Hester will come to greet me I feel a breeze hit the back of my neck and reawaken from my concentration in God. As I rise from the pew, I see small women walk through the doors with a black clock and a candle whose burning wax drips down the sides, casting light that guides the way to me. Thine figure in the black cloak hands me a letter and runs away without my response.

    The deathly ringing of the clock resonated throughout the chambers and faded away like they always had. But this time, the festivities did not flare back to life, for the new figure had control over the attention of everyone. This unique figure was shrouded in a robe as black as a void that covered all of his body except for his face, which was concealed by a peculiar mask. Contrary to the darkness of the robes, the lean mask was a pure, ghostly white with two blood red, curved lines, thicker at the top of the mask and thinner towards the bottom, through the eyes which were void holes. The air around him was cold and stale, like death lingered around him, waiting for its next victim. From the outskirts of the crowd, he moved in closer to the revelers, with each step echoing unnaturally loud. People shuffled away from him, afraid some terrible fate may befall them if they get close in proximity to him, as he strolled toward some unknown destination.

    I stumbled onto the porch and hear the decrepit wooden planks creak beneath my feet. The cabin had aged and had succumb to the power of the prime mover in its neglected state. Kudzu vines ran along the structure, strangling the the cedar pillars that held the roof above the porch. One side of the debacle had been defeated by the ensnarement and slouched toward the earth. However, the somber structure survives in spite. It contests sanguine in the grip of the strangling savage. But the master shall prevail and the slave will fall. It will one day be devoured and its remains, buried by its master, never to be unearthed, misinterpreted as a ridge rather than a

    ...entrance door and archway, that had and overwhelming impact on me, these over exaggerated entrance doors, were built to awe and act as the gateway to salvation, they succeeded. Upon entering the church, the saints were lined up and down either side of the church and were lustrously painted and adorned, the cathedral with its stained glass also elumeminated the church with bright sunlight that gave the church a peaceful and serene atmosphere. While viewing the church from the outside, you tend to fixate on the towers, and you tend to divert your view skyway. The massive Gothic church, really humbles you, the enormity and size are truly overwhelming. The ornamental gargoyle sculptures placed around and throughout the rooftops of the church, really feel as if they were alive and guarding the church.

    Once one got nearer, the archway opened up until one could see the whole front of the house in a somehow eerie way. Around the windows grew ivy and creepers, twisting their way up to the roof in a claw like fashion. The windows themselves were sparkling clean, but the curtains were drawn in most of them, even though it was almost noon. The doors were of solid pieces of dark oak and the two windows above it seemed to give the whole house a rather formidable look.

  • Descriptive Essay - The Evangelic Church

    When I was a child I used to be frightened of entering such a place for it seemed so imposing and somewhat dangerous, especially when music was being played. One day, in order to keep a promise I had made, I saw myself forced to enter. It took me quite a while to get the courage to pass through the old oak door, but the moment I stepped in, I realized just how enchanting and breathtaking this building could be. Its fantastic architecture and exquisite frescoes reflect perfectly the unity between this earth and the unseen kingdom of angels in such a manner that one cannot say where one ends and the other begins. The way in which the church was built is also the vivid testimony of a medieval period. Although it is a place that can sometimes be cold and ask for respect it is where prayers are answered and magic is done. An overwhelming feeling of inner harmony takes over you once you enter and God seems much closer. Darkness and light are welded perfectly together creating Redemption’s house. The tower allows you to see the entire town from the smallest river to the biggest building site, offering you its mightiness.
