“Isolated yet connected!” Ruchika added. “This Ajit also said that Eagles Point overlooked the abode of the Dalai Llama. Now, I don’t know what to believe.” “Honestly speaking, you were not misguided at all. The hotel is all of this and more. Just hang in there until the morning and you will never want to leave this place. You will be awestruck. This hotel gives you the best view of the Dhauladhar mountain range. Please trust me on that. In fact, this is the perfect place to shoot your film. And if you trek uphill, you will be able to film the locals too, who still practice ancient rites and rituals. Our porters will go along with you and guide you. I assure you, you are going to love it here.” Meanwhile, Kulvinder was losing his smirk as …show more content…
It was dark, as dark could be. It was quiet, as quiet could be until an owl hooted or was it a beast howling. Kulvinder switched on the headlights again and Max and the boys stepped out of the car. “Come on out. We’re here!” Subhu said. And they girls did one by one. It was freezing cold. “Look, there is Eagles Point. A FIVE-STAR hotel!” Shanks shouted pointing up ahead. But when the others looked up all they saw were the black tree trunks against a bluish charcoal sky, and yes stars, not five stars but zillions. “Hehehe!” Shanks smirked cheekily. His voice dripping sarcasm he then said, “Guys, where is the hotel? We 've been taken for a ride. There are no lights, no civilization here.” “Shank’s right. Let 's get out of here. Even he looks scared,” Ruchika whispered. Affronted Shanks replied, “Are you crazy? I love this place. The sense of adventure, the danger of not knowing what is going to happen next. And hey! I am fit enough to look after both you beautiful women.” he laughed. Meanwhile, Max egged them on “Don 't worry. It 's just a one-kilometer walk, and it 's not much of a …show more content…
The British couple led the visitors through the foyer into the dining area where a Danish family; two teenage girls, and a thin tall woman, sat eating at long, rectangular dining table. In the dim lights, the diners pale faces against their all black garb looked ghostly. And when the Danish lady smiled up at them while forking a broccoli floweret into her thin lips, painted a blood red, Ruchika gasped, visibly scared. Sanchi tried to cover up by greeting the diners and then turned to
A rider on horseback raced up Blue Hills Road. William recognized Crocco riding tall in the saddle as the horse closed the distance to the farmhouse. Crocco pulled back on the reins when the horse reached the porch. “Where are you off to in such a hurry?” William asked.
Peachpaw and her siblings stood nervously by the den. "We 're doing the best we can Wolfwind, however we also need to protect our clanmates still here. " Eaglestar responded, beads of sweat forming at the back of his neck as he stood in front of his furious clan mate. " Well your best isn 't good enough!
The cold sensation of murky ground slowly but surely switched from soil to smooth stone, the flatness of it being significantly easier on Jack 's feet as he moved away from the entrance and further into Pitch 's lair. Emptiness hung in the air, silent if not for the creaking of lead cages. With his eyes flicking between the cages, stairwells, and the bright glittering globe in the center, Jack comes to the conclusion that the place might feel emptier more because of the lack of teeth canisters than anything else. "You thought everything would be all right, now that the darkness has subsided. Centuries of loneliness, gone.
It’s spring now and the winter was terrible let me tell you. There were 10 people dying every day from starvation or freezing to death or disease it was terrible. When we were marching there from the last battle we heard that there was going to be food there for 8 months turns out there was only food for 8 days. General Edwin and a bunch of other soldiers and commanders asked if they could leave and George had to let them go he just asked them if they would come back in the Spring ready to go. Hundreds of soldiers deserted valley Forge and went back home to their families.
“ I’m going,” said jem “ Don’t hurry me.” He walked to the corner of the lot, the back again, studying the simple terrain as if deciding how best
Llama and Interesting Narrative are two interesting documents that produced by two different authors. José de Acosta wrote Llama and Interesting Narrative written by Equiano. The purpose of Llama was to let the audience inform that Llamas was an important animal in many aspects. People used them as transportation to goods. On the other hand, the purpose of Interesting Narrative is to let the readers know that he was one of the many Africans who were sold by slave traders to English slavers bound for North America.
Another day was so much like the one before, and the many before that. He walked the house and grounds, slowly, letting time pass as it must. Alone, present but not present, for can one truly be there if no one knows of it? Like the saying he’d heard more than once over the unmeasured time of his existence: If a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? He ambled through the back yard, pausing under the tree from which he’d been hanged, cursing his tormentors, vowing to haunt them for all time.
“That does not matter. What does matter is you locked me here for no apparent reason. You tricked me through wine while I was in a drunken state to come here. So you could what, bury me alive out of your own desires.”
On March 18th 1959, on the outskirts of Tibet, my grandfather Lhagyal Kamsang traveled with his father, Baba Chodar and with a group of Tibetans to New Delhi, India after China’s occupation of Tibet. Lhagyal was walking with his father, Baba chodar and with a group of Tibetans who wanted a new life in India. They followed a trail that lead to the border of India, the trail was surrounded with thin towering trees that could touch the clouds and the pathway would often twist as if it was a slithering snake. A delicate white mist would always surround the group of travelers and the gust of wind would provide them a blanket of wind. The group was filled with hopeful people who wanted a change in their lives and were willing to push
After escaping from Polyphemus’s cave, Odysseus, and his crew were looking for their ship. “Oh, Captain!” exclaimed the worried men that stayed on the ship. “Are you alright sir, where have you been?” “Calm down my loyal men”, said Odysseus calmly. I’ll tell you what happened to me.
He begins walking in a circle around the tent- making eye contact with everyone as he goes along. “We all know Rhett, we know what he did to Peony- what he did to us. But he has been harassing her the past six months for her to give him supplies- and she wouldn’t do it. But now, he came into our campsite, stole our leader and got ALMOST ALL of us killed!
"You goddamn right," said Grampa weakly. " Sicker 'n hell." Sairy Wilson walked slowly and carefully toward him. "How 'd you like ta come in our tent?"
His voice quavered slightly. “I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you” (p. 57).
This would be the best Spring break ever! We arrived at the hotel. It was about 100 stories and looked like it had jumped straight out a resort advertisement. The hotel had amazing architecture, which included a gold exterior and white detailing. A bellboy greeted us with drinks and a cart for our bags.
The night hung over us in a dark, cloudy sheet. No one could ask for a better backdrop for this decidedly frightful evening. Our party sat back for a moment to ponder what spot on the hayride would be the best. We’d paid good money to be terrified, and we wanted to a spot that would bring us the most screams.
