The cacophonic cry of the shrieking bell alerted me to sneak forward. Silently, I strolled through the narrow hallway; taking care not to rouse anyone in their vivid dreams. I felt like an elusive rat, manoeuvring sleekly past obstacles to reach the end. The end – where I would find a succulent, luscious delight. Cheese. But this piece of cheese wouldn’t just temporarily satisfy my tastebuds. It would everlastingly arouse them, leaving a distinct, heavenly aftertaste that would remain there for the rest of my life. From here on I knew; the aroma of Duncan’s demise was nearby. Effulgent torches, attached onto the firm corridor wall lighted my path. The sight of my newly owned exquisite paintings, hanging above rich china tables pleased me. King Duncan must have surely not sensed any vermin creatures lurking within the luxury.

That shalt be king hereafter”. The witches’ ghastly squeals may have intimidated me. But it only motivated me to fulfil the prophecy. To go deeper. Deeper into the night’s treacherous embrace where I can at last regain my composure. I could feel the light weight of my legs moving swiftly towards the heart of the castle; like an agile rat scavenging for its food. My skin felt as if a furry coat of hair was laying over it; strained upwards in an attempt to trap in heat. The rough textured stone floor was finally met by a structured array of refined timber planks. I was one step closer to the cheese. My eyes suddenly protruded outwards as they locked onto a wide metal door – with rust covering its burnished doorknob. I assumed that this must’ve been the room for the servants. I reached for the corroded doorknob, only to tragically realise that it wasn’t turning. I felt the vigorous blood being pumped into my brain, as my veins struggled to remain intact. It looked like the servants were prepared for pests. My smooth, feeble-like hands dashed to the doorknob yet again, with a successful attempt at opening the door this
But none came. There was whispering. Finally, we heard Mother say, “We should go and tell them.” We heard them coming towards the parlor, down the narrow hall and past our bedrooms.
Cooks and bakers bustled. They chopped colorful vegetables, spun sizzling herb rubbed pork and veal over hot coals, and pulled warm bread from the ovens. Moisture flooded Kylan’s palate. Hunger sunk its painful talons further into his belly. He swallowed.
It had been about a year since he'd left his man-cave, but today he was doing the unimaginable. Although there was only a flight of stairs and a corridor, it marked clearly a fine line between the outside world. As he made his way towards the door, his body shook with nerves, he had walked less
the end. The trees hung over on each side, making a doorway of colors with intertwining vines that I couldn't wait to cross. Through the doorway above and across the expanse of gravel I went to wait for the click of the unlocking car. As I stepped into the warmth and coziness of my mom’s car I had only two things on my mind: Fred the ladybug and Pittsford Dairy hot
Sparks of excitement and stress exploded in my body as I opened the door. I took my first step to freedom then sprinted down the stairs almost tripping and falling flat on my face. I ran to nearest train station and hopped onto the back where i curled up in the corner waiting for the long road ahead. I didn’t know where this train was taking me and I didn’t know what I was going to do when I arrived
Breathing deeply, I retched at the sickening smell of rotten flesh and pus. Looking around, I caught a brief glimpse of the creature that was stalking me. Noticing my stare upon it, the creature melted into the shadows as if it was never there. This wretched labyrinth was starting to get to me.
They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door. They stood looking at the door and saw it tremble
Another day, another breath. I’m happy to be alive but I’m alone and depressed. My family is nowhere in sight. I look for them everyday and everynight. I’m leaving the country, I hope this is best for me.
The door creaks open, I see them, two men… they look so tasty. They’re picking me up and dragging me down the hall. We finally stop, I hear another door open, I look up and the only thing in the room is a table tilted at a seventy-five degree angle. They are pinning me against the table, please speak up, you’re never this quiet.

What does it mean to deserve to be King? In Macbeth by William Shakespeare, a man named Macbeth kills the king, Duncan, for his own ambition, but allows Duncan’s sons to escape. In the aftermath of Duncan’s death, Macbeth becomes king and murders everyone who dares oppose him. This leads Malcolm, legitimate heir to the crown, to go against Macbeth and ends up claiming his rightful place in Scotland. The function of Duncan and his sons (Malcolm and Donalbain) is to be the good that opposes and contrasts with Macbeth and his evil.
Macbeth is responsible for his destruction because in life we make our own decisions however he was heavily influenced by the three witches and Lady Macbeth. The witches foretell Macbeth becoming king and Lady Macbeth persuades him to kill the king, which backfires on her. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth can be compared to Ahab and Jezebel in the Bible in that they both got selfish and went after things that would catch up with them and cost them their lives. Macbeth is ultimately responsible for the decisions he made but he was first influenced by the three witches visiting him telling him he would be king.
I arose from my unconsciousness, my eyes thick from exhaustion, the temples of my head numb from the cold, hard ground. I tried to recall, to fathom where I was, and like a swift wave, it hit me. I was in the Red Room; again after Mrs. Reed thrust me here. I looked up, the room much more familiar, to see ghostly, white moonlight streaming through the small window of the wall. My breathing hitched in my throat as I registered where I was, and what I was frightened of here.
Capturing Her Castle Dead, sunken eyes bulged luminously from his protruding skull beneath a stretched sheet of blotchy, pallid skin. His lip leaked a fresh stream of blood from an angled cut. A lone shard of glass that had been separated from its mirror was propped up against a wall from across the room. Leaning over the corpse, I gazed into the shard as a drop of blood from one jagged corner travelled across my reflection. My bagged eyes told that I hadn’t slept for a week.
I went out of the messy and -not even close to done- kitchen, and into the, almost unpacked livingroom. I then walk out into the long white and dimed hall way. “ this hallway is very depressing, it needs more color.” i whisper to myself while walking to the next door to my right. I come up the white door with a peep hole.
