I sprinted across the rocky sand, serrated shells cutting my exposed feet, tiny rivers of blood trickling down my bare feet and off onto the stupid sand. The sun was beating down, sending powerful rays of light onto my burnt, evident back, the sweat glistening as it droped of me, my shorts clinging to my body from the sticky sweat, my heart beating rapidly, long hair housing my eyes and me huffing and puffing like I was the big bad wolf blowing down the worthless pigs house’s. I could see the end of the polluted beach, rubbish ran past from the strong gusts of painful wind. The choppy waves were crashing down, sending white foam everywhere. The vigorous current pulled the rubbish out to deep sea where the pirate ships use to sail and there …show more content…
Then I saw something, It was a Treehouse, the ladder was old and broken, a risky climb. The wood was soggy with rusted nails poking out, a thin wooden plank acting as a roof. Inside was a dirty metal tap with a water tank under it full of dusty water and dead bugs. There was a small bed with a manky old blanket and in the corner of the room was a skeleton. A knife was on the ground, blood stains laid around it, the skeleton had chunks of flesh scattered around the bones. I shuddered and left the Treehouse. I climbed down the ladder and with my hands so sweaty, I lost my grip. I fall down, landing on a bunch of sharp sticks, blood flowing out of my cut skin. I laid there in pain, the trees jumping around me, with my head dizzy from the fall I struggled to crouch up clenching onto the pine tree. I leaned against the tree, then started to run, I ran through the whole forest disturbing the wildlife watching out for giant roots and spiderwebs. I heard the sound of a waves crashing, I ran towards the sound. I ended up at a beach. It wasn’t like the other beach, this one had soft, smooth sand and huge waves barreling down, brilliant for
With vivid description in a story, readers can imagine and feel as if they are living the story with the characters. In the short stories “Scarlet Ibis,” “The Most Dangerous Game,” and “The Veldt,” each author uses detailed imagery to create a suspenseful atmosphere, keeping their readers on the edge of their seats. Short stories are a great way for authors to heighten the tension of the story because readers usually read these in one sitting, allowing them to quickly realize the outcome of the story. In all three short stories the authors use imagery to illustrate a suspenseful build up making readers excited to finish reading. “The five o'clocks by the chimney still marked time, but the oriole nest in the elm was untenanted and rocked
I swam back to shore like I was competing for a gold medal. The saltiness of the water splashed on my face with every stroke. A few yards behind me, Claire and Janie rushed towards that warm sand. The sun was beaming on my back as I was gliding to safety. Finally, we all reached that point were all the waves start crashing and sighed with relief.
Cousin always enjoyed his dreams, thought of them as movies in which he starred. The best part was their length and how vivid everything was. It seemed as if he had but one dream each night, and that lasted until he woke. The details of the dreams often remained with him throughout the day, and he would reflect on their possible meaning and significance. This dream seemed no more peculiar than any other did at first.
I saw the water turn red from blue. He was dead. I took the knife out of my arm; luckily it wasn’t a deep wound. Then I jumped from Hispaniola onto the land and ran towards the shelter. It was night time and all my friends were asleep.
The year is two thousand fifteen and the world is full of selfish, condescending, and rude people who are willing to step all over each other in an attempt to gain any sort of advantage. It was an autumn day as I wandered through the quite and simplistic forests of my hometown. The farther I journeyed, the more ominous the sky grew until I engulfed in almost complete darkness. Suddenly, I felt an urge to turn back when I was startled by a Florida panther. At first I was extremely surprised at his appearance, as panthers are nearly extinct, but as time passed I grew accustomed to his presence and him to mine.
My whole body tensed as a howl rose from chest. Tears spilled from my eyes as my knees buckled. My body smacked the ground with a Thud! Wincing and writhing I reached for my foot. A hideous brown creature—shaped like a spider with two front claws and a curled tail—crept inches from my leg.
It was time, the night had appeared and we were for sure ready. We began to sprint into the woods, but a few moments later I heard loud stomps behind us and hard breathing, I looked back and I saw Paddy-Rollers and big dogs follow us. We sprinted fast as we could to disappear from them. As I sprinted I turned back not knowing what was in front of me I tripped and fell hard onto the rocky, wet ground. “Help me, Christopher.”

When i went up the stairs EVERY single stair had a hole in them, when I got upstairs a HUGE piece of sharp wood fell from the ceiling and I ran! I went in the basement and then I heard nothing and then all the sudden somebody or something was coming down the stairs! I broke the window with a axe and I cut my leg open when I crawled out the wind and when I got out I ran four there and a half miles without stopping. I ditched Barry and john, because I was TERRIFIED!
I walked up and sat down near the shore of the lake. There was a part where they had put beach sand leading into the lake. I knew there would be this area so I brought a towel with me so I could lay on it. I laid on the towel and took in the environment around me.
I then jump in the freezing cold water, allowing my body to float wherever the water takes me. All of a sudden, a great buildup of water knocked me down to the bottom and washed me out to the shore. Exhausted, I stood up and return to my peaceful spot on the beautiful sandy beach. I hear all people chatting and smelling the barbeque people are cooking. I smell the burnt wood from the bon fire.
In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides
It 's been a long night. I just needed to sit, relax and think. So I flew to the top of the tallest building here in Newtown. It 's a big tan colored skyscraper covered in shiny windows. As I fly up into the sky I gently drag my finger across every window and feel the little bumps of the window panes.

The ocean looked like an enormous pool of wonder. It was exceptionally blue that day with a slight green undertone. The surface looked as though it was covered with millions of diamonds crashing with the waves and kissing the sand. I remember the sand in between my feet, like standing on a coarse cloud that I could just seep into. The water teasing my toes and running back into hiding.
