“Quick! To the cellar” I shrieked sprinting to the narrow stairwell leading to the musty, old cellar. We would be safe there...I think. The herd of angry sea rats was swallowed by the mouth of the entrance of the lighthouse. I looked back to see the sea rats running on top of each other trying to grasp anyone of us. We finally reached the cellar. Itchoua heaved the rusty bolt that locks the cellar up into the lock.
“Quick! Move the barrel over to the door” Le Gleo ordered pointing to the place he wanted us to keep it.
I peered out the window as Itchoua rolled the barrel in front of the door. Nothing was there. All that was there was the old cobwebbed staircase. I sat down next to my mates and leaned my head against the wall. I was panting like crazy. My white t-shirt was now the color of grime and I had dirt and sweat dripping down my face.
“I should really go out to the gym more” Itchoua chuckled opening up a can of Izzie.
SCRATCH! SCREECH!
“What is that” I stammered.
BAM!!! A million tiny faces popped up pressing their faces against the dirt-streaked window of the cellar.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH” Itchoua screamed.
Le Gleo, Itchoua, and I backed up against the wall. I turned my head to look at the ghastly horror written on the faces of my mates. I tentatively stepped forward going towards the door where the rats were gnawing away on the glass. We didn’t have much time.
“ Mate! What do you think you’re doing” Le Gleo yelled pressing against the wall.
I turned around and let out a sigh. I trudged back to the wall leaned against it thinking of what I could do to get out of this mess. When I looked up, I saw little, beady eyes of the sea rats aggressively attacking the glass.
“ What shall we do” Itchoua stammered.
No one ...
... middle of paper ...
...nted.
Le Gleo and I chuckled. We escaped the rats and were safe. We anchored the vessel and paddled to land.
“Are you ok” a middle-aged woman asked us.
“We are fine now. Thanks” I sputtered.
“Where did you come from she asked tilting her head to one side.
I glanced at my two best mates. We all chuckled. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you” I replied.
“It’s ok if you don’t tell me but you have to get out of those filthy clothes. Follow me. Here” the woman said passing us towels. “My name is Chera”.
“Nice to meet you” Le Gleo answered back wrapping the towel around his body.
We followed Chera to Maui Beach Hotel and got dried up. I looked back and laughed. There was only one thing that was racing through my mind at this point...i’m alive. That was the only thing that I could think about. I was alive and that was all that mattered to me at that moment of my life.
In the climax, the rats are invading the lighthouse, and the men flee for safety.
I was stunned and every muscle in my body loosened at the thought of escape. Well, not until I noticed what he Le Gleo really had.
“No, I was just telling you what was happening in the world” I said. She didn’t

Rieux’s dormitory. Next, more rats start to die but people still aren’t fazed by this pattern.
The windows are covered with dirt and blood and glass lay shattered on the cracked floorboards as the moonlight reflects on a sharp blade. Realising, that it is the knife that has killed my friends; that has filled them with nothing but the murky ink of darkness. I approach the knife, carefully reading the small words that spell out, ‘Laaa…Laaa…Laaa…’ I drop the knife instantly. It hits the floor and makes a sound like a cook ’s cleaver striking half-boiled meat.
It was already the afternoon over on Ship-Trap Island, and Rainsford was sleeping soundly as the waves crashed against the rocks. Suddenly, he was awaken with a jolt. His eyes took a while to adjust to his surroundings

When we read a story, what all of us expect to read is visual words written in a certain language; instead, in the Ladle Rat Rotten Hut story, we encounter some sort of audio words that does not make sense at all.
The boat stopped for some reason. We almost all hoped it was land. About a minute or two later a sailor told us that we had made it and that we could leave this horrible room. If I could take a guess on how many people died on the way here I’d say around twenty to thirty. We all made are way out of the boat to see a big feast of food. We all thought it was a bit fishy but we still ate.
We got into our lines, behind groups of excited families and happy little old men and women. As the line ascended up the ramp onto this enormous water vessel, pictures were taken of every group of passengers. Smile, laugh and look happy! Riiight. As a matter of fact, I was pretty anxious. I'd never been on a boat like this, and especially not for a whole week.
I constantly adjusted to stare at the glass for a moment. Therefore, it suddenly in a pleasant kind of way came to me. No one is willingly home yet. Accordingly, I had an ideal, wide amount of time to clean this terrifying mess which was a massive distraction.
All day I paced my room thinking about the Shroud, my brother, and how to escape my room. There was only one way out, and it was through the window. I looked down and it was too
