Recommended: Living during Halloween tradition
It was a cold day in a town called Monaka, England. It was winter and the sun was not present that morning. It was my Christmas holidays but still my parents had to work early. They left me a note saying, “eat a good breakfast, brush your teeth and then clean a bit the house”. I pretended like the note wasn´t there and went to the kitchen, got some eggs, made some toast, poured myself some orange juice and sat at the kitchen table. I was tired and I didn´t feel to do anything but watch some TV. I ignored what the letter said and instead of brushing my teeth and clean the house, I went directly to the living room and sat on the sofa, with my pajamas on and a blanket over me I managed to do a pull towards the remote control. As I started to wake up, I heard a noise coming out of my room, it sounded like a “broom”. I got kind of afraid so I took a baseball bat and approached like a snail my room, trying to make the least amount of noise possible. I opened the door directly like I was made with it and saw an amazing thing; it was a small space black hole. Over the next few seconds I freeze as the black hole started to carry me to it. I wanted to react, but I still asked myself how a black hole got into my room. After a while I reacted and managed to hold on my bedroom door but I didn´t have enough strength and the hole carried me in. Suddenly everything turned black and everything became dark. I landed on my head fainting directly after that. As I started to wake up, I notice that there where people talking and looking at me, not any kind of people, they were small people with pointy ears and long old tore clothes. I couldn´t imagine what I as seeing! They are ogres, hobbits, elves, dragons and fairies, which made me faint again. As I...

...d and our bodies hurted, but we decided to go on. I looked at the map, and saw that our next place was, the graveyard of skeletons. It sounded creepy. We arrived at the graveyard after walking 10 miles approximately. It was a creepy place full of tombs, but no skeletons around. We tried not to make any sound, but one of the elves sneezed, and that was when a ton of skeletons surrounded us. We took out our swords and prepared ourselves to fight. A skeleton attacked us, so I swinged the swords and took off its head. The rest of my friends did the same, making it until the other side of the graveyard. At the other side, we sat down to drink and eat again. I was going to eat a garlic sandwich, but the hobbit stopped me and said, “Don´t eat it, it´s going to be necessary for the next place, the castle of VAMPIRES”. “Vampires! Not vampires, I detest vampires” I cried out.
We learnt a game called Gaga, we were in this circle box, we had a ball and we had to try to avoid it form touching us, when I did touch us we sat on the edge waiting for the next game! We were in groups and my group started with canoeing, the guy who was there said that there were bull sharks in the water, and that scared me so much because I’m so gullible. We were with partners and we lined up our canoes in the water, and I swapped with someone and ended up being with akolde who is very bad at steering because I was doing all the work. After that we went back to camp and we played the environmental game! We were put in groups, I was in the lowest group which meant anyone could catch me, the hunters could, the diseases and some other group. We had to walk around the forest trying to find stamps to stamp into our leaves, I was with a group wondering around, I managed to be one of the winners with like 10 other people. We came back to camp and did what I was most excited for, the obstacle course, we walked around looking at what we had to go through and then came back to the start to start! We had to go in pairs, and I was with Maja, we were and epic duo, that went through all the obstacles, we ended up second, but we should’ve come first because the group that came first skipped some obstacles. The last activity was the farm activity, we got to see some pigs, and after we went into a cage and went through the farm, looking and learning about cows. We later came back to camp and ate dinner. In the night Mr Mcguane went on a night walk and some people went, I went and Mr Mcguane told stories about pirates, UFOs, and drop
Everything shut down then I heard a soft voice “you are new face I see what would bring a person to a place like this maybe curiosity maybe ignorance, quickly hide under the desk there is a space where you can fit the last technician built it hurry hide they will be looking for you they will lose interest don't look at there eyes”. I hid under the desk I closed the door there were holes but I thought nothing of it. I heard little footsteps then clanking on the door then I heard a voice, “hello in there” then when looked around the space I saw an eye then the door started to open then I said, “STOP!” Then the door stopped opening then I closed it. I heard the soft voice again, “when the power turns on the voice will say it was unsuccessful then it will tell you to go through the Ballora exhibit he will tell you to run but you are going to have to be very slow”. Then the power turned on and I left the
Their Biblo finds three trolls grumbling about food. Biblo decides to live up to title of burglar and attempts to pick one of the trolls' pockets. However they quickly capture him. The dwarfs see what's going on and try to save Biblo but all of them except Thorin are caught. Thorin formulates a plan to free them but fails. Gandalf returns and occupies the trolls till dawn, and then they turn into stone. The group takes the two swords and a knife the trolls were carrying. The travelers come across the Secret Valley. There they stop at Elronds' Last Homely House. Elrond tells them the only way to use the key that Thorin possesses is to wait where the thrush knocks and the setting sun will shine up on the keyhole. The next morning the group heads toward the Misty Mountains. A storm has caused them to seek shelter in a cave.
Three of them are on the right side of my bed. I try to holler but I can't. I can't move. I'm scared, remembering the pain from the other times. They fly through the ceiling and out the roof, taking me with them. Next thing I'm in their craft, lying on a table, and I'm cold. I'm naked. They're putting something up into my vagina, and I'm scared they'll leave it there. They wear skintight black coveralls. They look like black grasshoppers. No hair, wide jaw. Black eyes, big, halfway between round and oval. Small openings for nostrils. No ears, just foot-long antennae. A thumb and three long pointy fingers. They're cold when they touch me. They talk to one another and I hear them in my mind. They have a damp, musty odor about them. They roll me over and put a burning hot needle along my spine. They aren't saying anything. I can't cry for help. Afterwards I'm floating out of a craft. There are beings with me surrounding me. I'm not scared. I'm back in bed, drifting off to sleep. They're gone. (Gordon, 82).
E.E Cummings once said, “ it takes courage to grow up and become who we really are.” Growing up can be scary and is a difficult transition. “Through the Tunnel” is a children's short story written by Doris Lessing. The short story is about a young boy who challenges himself to go through a tunnel at the beach on his own. In “Through the Tunnel” the author conveys the difficulties of adolescence through personification and symbolism.
this black hole. Many large white looking things took my family away, but I escaped
When I was younger, my mom had a tradition of always taking us out into the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night to watch meteor showers, comets, and anything else you can see in the sky with the naked eye. At a young age, I knew all about the constellations and about other galaxies in the universe. You could definitely say I was a space nerd. It always reminded me how tiny and insignificant my life is compared to the vastness of the universe. It's really a beautiful thing. However, there was one thing that always terrified me. Black holes. Not the kind that you consider your dryer to be when you come out with less socks and you put in. I'm talking planet-swallowing black holes randomly placed in outer space. For the space explorer such as myself, I'm going to tell you about three of the most interesting black holes that I've
At the end of the stairs, I turned on my flashlight to see where I was going. There was a long hallway made of stones. It is very damp and dusty down here. At the end of the hallway I found a room filled with hieroglyphs and a lot of treasure. The guides ran to it and started stuffing jewels and gold down their pockets. I was studying the hieroglyphs.
In the morning, I hear a voice says: "the door of hell is open!" But I do not listen to it and just continue to do my dream. When I wake up, I saw blood around me, and I hear some miserable crying voices from far away. I lift my head and solidifie my eyes, and I see the mouth of a fain blood stain, and he is smiling to me. I realize that he is not a human, he is a ghost! I painfully shout out loud "Oh, My God!" Then I fainted in the ground. When I wake up again, I first squinting carefully look around, and I see that there is no one around me. I rapidly breath a few times. And I think where is this place? I just want to run out this ugly place, I do not know how many miles I ran out to arrive a place surrounded by thorns. And I carefully look around again and find out a door with a word "hell". I tell myself, since I have been came to here, I think I need to look around this adventure world.
The path was narrow and wound around the trees. They befell many disasters in the dark forest. They crossed the river in which if drunk of or even touched it, your memory would be erased. The group encountered Woodlin Elves in the forest. While they were looking for the whereabouts of the elves, the group was ambushed by giant spiders. They got everyone except Bilbo and Thorin, Thorin was captured by the elves.
When I attempted to push the door it wouldn't budge, and since there did not seem to be any other choice for quite a while I decided to try and get though. When I tried to shoulder my way through the door it still wouldn't budge so I braced my back against the opposing wall and slammed my foot into the door and felt the door start to crack. The third time I did this the door gave way and I stumbled into the room from my momentum. I had just enough time to register that the room seemed to be an odd shape before it burst into flames and I had to reel backwards before they could consumed me. As I looked back into the room it didn't seem as empty as it had just a few moments before it seemed that the flames were consuming more than just the air that the room contained. Slowly shapes started to appear in the shadows that the flames cast on the walls as if there was a bright light just out of my eyeline that was giving these ghosts their forms. As I stared into the flames a face seemed to start to take shape, a face that seemed to be at once both familiar and utterly alien. When I attempted to delve into my mind to try to place this face I
I lunge towards the goddamn door and somehow manage to find the handle. I open it and as I am going into the light I decide to see who or what the flesh was. In front of me what was visible of the small body made my initial fears true. There stood a short man with these claw like finger tips and heavy bags under his black eyes. He was still coming forward. I shut the door and looked around for my cousins. The light that had been coming from under the door had been from the moon; it was already night. Running down the hill I continued hearing the whispers of the old man. All the

The bass of the music was strong it was shaking my walls and made buzz, and boom sounds like it was trying to break through and get me. It’s around 11:43 pm now the music is still kicking. I hear the lock on the front door, go click click then err the door opens, I heard footsteps, after footsteps, I lost count on how many people were in the living room that just entered, moments later the door claps closed. The door to my room is closed. I’m not sure if they know I’m here or not, but they are talking awfully loud for a late hour. Pop, pop, pop, goes the microwave and the aroma of popcorn creeps under my doorway. The smell made my stomach growl but man did I want popcorn now. My roommate opens the door to our room and everything was illuminated in a quick second. The light burns straight through my eyes as I bring them down to a squint, and small tears started to form. I wasn’t crying the light just hurt and I then said
It was christmas eve all the decorations where up and everyone was in a christmas spirit, and outside it was snowing I was looking out the window when i saw a dark figure it was big, and it looked like it had a box on its back I went outside to have a closer look and there it was a white horse with a carriage attached I walked a little closer and it started to back up so i stopped not knowing what to do so i slowly walked towards it and took the reins and brought it back to the cabin, the cabin in the winter looked so peaceful with the snow all around at the christmas lights hanging from the roof with a wreath on the door and at the back a little sable theres where I walked the horse as i was leaving i saw i little note attached to his saddle it read “Tippie” i guessed that was her name. The next morning was christmas and when i woke up the first thing i did was take some grains and bring them to Tippie but she wasn't there i started looking around where could she have gone? And how did she get out?? I started walking around trying to find her and as I was about to take another step i hear a something like breaking glass or ice right them i fell through the ground and down and huge tube and everything blacked out when i woke up i was in what was like a huge ice cave there where icicles hanging from the ceiling and the ground was hard as rock and i was freezing not knowing what to do i started walking around, how was I gonna get out of here if i didn't i would die down here! I kept on walking thinking maybe i would find something but i didn't id been down here already for at least a few hours what was i gonna do?!
