“ I repeat, anyone living within 100 miles of Mt. Everest, please evacuate. This is not a joke, evacuate right now,” the news anchor cautioned. What’s going on now? Randall thought to himself. He looked outside to see if there was anything outside, and there was not. “... there is an atomic bomb sitting on the top of the mountain. This is no joke, please evacuate the as soon as possible… however, there is a way to defuse this bomb,” the anchor continued to say. At first, Randall could not believe the new he had just heard, but as he looked outside he could see helicopters circling the top of the mountain. The people up there would defuse it he thought. He began to worry, knowing that if the bomb were to go off, his house would crumble to …show more content…
You need to move!” One of the people from the helicopters yelled. Randall looked up to find two men in the helicopter gesturing him to get away from the mountain. Even though it seemed like the most practical choice, he decided to keep going. He did not know when the bomb would go off, so he needed to hurry. He took a quick break, and was already nearly halfway. He could see all these helicopters flying around, and even a little brown house just beside the mountain. Randall quickly began to move again, hoping to reach the top in time. A few moments later after he started climbing, he saw a huge heap of snow piled up on the pathway. His first instinct was to try, and get rid of his snow but there was no way possible. With the temperature being only 26 degrees, he knew he could not go through it either. Think Randall, think! He thought to himself. He thought of every possible solution, but knew anyone them would not work. “ Hey, man, come in here!” Yelled the same person from the helicopter. “ No, I need to get to the top!” Randall …show more content…
Randall knew he was correct, and had no other choice. He swiftly got into the helicopter and they descended from the mountain. “ Hey, get me to the top of this mountain now,” Randall said firmly. The pilot knew he was delusional so he did not bother to respond. “ I know how to defuse the
Wiping the sweat from my brow I called a halt to the crew. Phil and I dumped our packs and found a comfy boulder to rest on. I looked back to where the last guys were coming from back down the trail. They had stopped talking a while back and marched slowly along the dirt trail. Phil produced an energy-bar he’d saved from breakfast and began to munch on it as I drained another water bottle. After the refreshing drink I laid back against the rock and stared up at the pine trees. But a moment later, hearing grumble about sore legs, I sat up, grinning, “By the map we only have another couple hours.”
Marines had to make a mad dash across the airstrip to get near the base of the mountain and
...ises. What fun, to explore a terrorist secret base. Johnny, although wounded, wanted to be the first one to explore the place from top to bottom. After opening the main underground entrance, low and behold: a nuclear bomb sitting there, with the speed-dial at two locations: the junkyard and the police station. The terrorists planned to launch the nuke to one of the two locations the same night. The police then disarmed the nuke and cremate it.

Going to War The arrival of winter is well on its way. Colorful leaves had turned to brown and fallen from the branches of the trees. The sky opened to a new brightness with the disappearance of the leaves. As John drove down the country road, he was much more aware of all his surroundings.
He said “I am going to blow up the whole city with a nuclear bomb, and if anyone tries to leave by the bridge I will blow up the bridge. The bomb will be set underground on top of the railroad tracks in the city, and it will detonate in exactly three hours.
“Please?! Tyrone?! What’s the point of having your own personal helicopter if you’re not going to fly it?” Montee pleaded, ignoring Tyrone’s previous statement that his helicopter was only for him and his wife Bella to ride in.
“M’am, you and your children should proceed and get yourself to safety on the next lifeboat.”, he said.
I knew taking this shortcut was a mistake, yet I didn't think I had enough strength to keep climbing this monumental cliff with the others. The humidity was affecting my vision and the ground now started to spin. The muscles in my legs felt

He was only a few feet away from the top now. Suddenly, he felt a hand grasp his left shoulder and pull him back. Shrugging off the hand he continued to run, but glanced back to see, how the runner behind him had managed to reach him so quickly and why was he trying to pull him back.
He arrived at his first destination after about an hour of hiking. After a short while he figured he had looked over his new found haven enough, he was ready. He started down the grade with a small arsenal, consisting of a shovel, about ten granola bars, two bottles of power-ade, his snowshoes, and what was left in his hydration bladder in his pack. After descending about two hundred feet he came into the clearing he was hoping to find, it was as smooth as silk, twenty inches of fresh powder under his board. Up ahead he say a small but formidable drop off on the mountain, he knew if he was going to escape this with his dignity he was going to have to work some magic, to his success. The drop was approximately eighteen feet, but he was ready for it, he landed perfectly, it was like a dream the poof of snow exploding out from his impact, and the gentle flakes hitting his face. As he continued down the slope he did not realize that his gentle landing had severely weakened the physical structure of the mountain’s blanket, and that any moment he could bring the mass down upon himself at impossible speeds.
It was a dark, cold, cloudy day. The clouds covered the sky like a big black sheet, nothing to be seen except darkness that seemed to go on forever. This was the third day in a row that there had been complete darkness, there was no getting rid of it. This was because of ‘the meteorite.’
