Recommended: The effects of pollution on the planet

Like a razor-sharp knife slicing through delicate skin, the echoing howl of the wind pierced violently through the eerie silence simultaneously as clouds of charcoal ominously replaced the azure blue sky, hinting the start of a treacherous storm. As she quickened her pace along the uneven trail, the twisted, claw-like branches of the tortuous trees stretched out in all directions, determined to seize anything or anyone that stood in their way. Slithering amidst the blood-splattered trees that surrounded her, the vindictive coils of formidable fog cruelly pinched the tips of her frail fingers, driving her into deeper panic as she anxiously darted toward a narrow cave-like passageway. Chilling sensations rushed down her spine, sending goose-bumps to break out like an infectious disease across her body as she tried to take in the new surrounding. The rugged walls which made up the passageway seemed to edge closer and closer together as she ventured further into the dark abyss, restricting her from any form of movement. With every step she took, the decrepit ceiling continued to cave in, crushing against her brittle skull. Creeping up her inflamed nose, the vile stench of rotting carcasses began to burn her throat and choke her senses. A faint sight of an impressive ancient …show more content…

There was just enough light for her to notice the unusual symbols engraved over the walls and ceiling which begged to be depicted. In front of her positioned a disfigured bronze Buddha statue which sat in a meditative state on a wooden altar table that was lined with frayed sheets of red cloth. Evil radiated from the statue; his malevolent eyes were tightly shut and lips curved into a menacing, crooked smile. An array of rotten flowers and fruits remained on several crimson plates in front of the Buddha statue, drained of colour, fragrance and life -offered by long gone disciples who once worshipped him in return for his eternal

    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 wretched sack was ripped off her head, along with some of her hair. She was yanked back by the neck of her dress, forced into a kneeling position. Ropes wrenched at her wrists and ankles, tearing at her scabs. Cautiously, her eyes slid open to blinding pain as she stared into the sun. At first, she could only pick out the most prominent details, but the blurriness gradually faded. She felt groggy, as if she had been knocked out. Trees

    Aiming my flashlight at the ground in front of me, I breathed as I saw the cold air turn my breath into a cloud. The grass that was below my boots was soft as I crushed the blades underneath, the aftermath of the light rain giving off a dewy smell to the air. Continuing my walk, I was soon distracted before I stopped myself, realizing the structure in front of me. A large gate blocked me from the other side of it, spikes protruding from the top of the gate and the sides that seemed to spread out for miles on end. Reaching out to the gate, I felt a sudden sense of dread, as though a boulder had suddenly filled my stomach.

    My head thumped with pain as the carriage tugged through the ancient path. It seemed to be midnight, not that I cared to notice, clutching the precious Totem in one arm, wrapped in that pretencious silk cloth, my other arm flexing, a storm of spasms comes and goes every time the grooved wheels run over a stone. As far I remember since that only bowl of warm rabbit-stew and pint of Farthing Ale there was an endless alternating pattern of views that wheeled overhead: forest canopy, sky and water dripping from the mossy growth along the sides of the cliff. Dangerous cliff roads.

    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

    She focused on the rest of the room. The once great halls were drenched in blood, trickling down the walls and forming large pools on the floor. The room, once bright, was bathed in shadows and blackness. Then there were the bodies. It was difficult to see in the dark, but they were there. The corpses of her allies littered the floor.

    The blazing sun directed over Mogadishu while the women and the children of somalia tired, hot and hungry continue their work washing, cleaning and cooking. The city is the embodiment of boredom the dark smoky skies, the dull dead grass and the brown coloured huts that seemed to go on for miles. The people walking roughly in one direction, the sound of their feet crunching the gravel fills the silence of the morning. Everyone dressed in traditional clothes men wearing flowy maawis, western shirts  and shawls while women wearing long flowing dresses worn over petticoats called direh and usually wear large scarves. The dread is an invisible demon sitting heavily on their shoulders and consuming their thoughts with negativity as they walk to work.
