Awakened to only Disappear
I opened my eyes to the tree’s auburn shadow dancing on the west wall. Crusts in my eyes scratched my cornea like an eagle jabbing its talons into prey. I try to swallow but my throat is dry; my spit feels like a lump of peanut butter. I scrunch my toes between the mattress and the footboard in an attempt to warm them. A piercing screech comes from the other side of the wall; it's probably Dad trying to move something heavy outside. "Just be quiet!" I whisper to myself.
As I wrapped my arms around a blanket and sank into the mattress, I heard it again! That was the end. There was no way I was going back to sleep now! I just lay there; what could it be? The sound was still coming from behind the wall and that's

Go see what's wrong with Ramey!"
She yelled back, "She is your cat and I am too busy!”
"Too busy,” I thought. She didn’t look busy to me. I told myself, “Just do it!"
My hands were so sweaty when I turned the knob, it just slipped. Finally, I grasped the handle and slowly creaked opened the door. I could hear her plain as day now, screeching with what was left of her lungs. I called her name and she didn't come, so I stepped onto the freezing cement with my bare feet. I crouched down to see if she was hiding under the car, but she wasn’t there. As I made my way around the car, the noise turned into a high-pitched cry, like the sound of a person stepping on a mouse's tail.
Ramey was jammed between the garage door and the cold concrete. Her head lifted a little every time she gasped for a breath. I ran back to the house and hit the garage door button so she would be released.
"Why didn't you check on her!" I screamed at mom.
She said, "What are you talking

The sound soothed me, until her raspy gasp sliced through it, causing me to tear up again. “It's okay, everything will be okay,” I repeated over and over, to myself more than her.
Her back legs led straight to the blood trail, and the rest of her body was almost at a ninety degree angle to her legs. It looked as if her spine was snapped straight back and got stuck. Her wormlike intestines were scattered in the blood along with dark black speckles. Every time she took a breath I could see the inside of her move.
I had to stay strong not only for her, but for myself. If I cried too loud she might dislike it and maybe bite me; I didn't want to scare her.
My sister Carly came out into the garage and asked me if she could pet Ramey.
I snapped at her saying, "No! Just! Get! Out! Don’t look at her!”
Then I heard a car pull up by the house. It was Grandpa.
Mom made me go into the house so Grandpa could do what had to be done. I told Mom, "I don't want to hear it!" I plugged my ears as tight as I could and waited, and waited, and waited. Then BANG! She was
I walked upstairs face red, hands trembling, and body aching. I didn’t even think I could make it up the first couple steps before collapsing into a heap.Before I reached the last glossy maple wood step I heard the sound of little paws and nails scraping, slowly, softly, and sadly through the house. This sound made my heart ache.
Light rushes through a gap in the curtain flooding into my eyes. Irritated, I roll over onto my side, covering my face with an old pillow that smelt like cheese puffs. Consequently I’m itchy all over, must of left the door open and let the bed bugs bite. Crawling out of bed right leg, searching for the floor to regain reality and get out of bed. Ordinarily my eyes tried adjusting to the bright
A sucker that is. While the travesty that is the Trump administration marches forward, it is interesting to point out that many of Trump’s policies serve to continue the economic decline of many Americans, most notably those in his own base.
Sally's face which seemed to calm her down. Another loud slam and I heard the barn door slide
Purgatory: A place where the most malignant/hazardous fiends are jailed due to their assailments on the human race. Their thirst for human blood still lingered within them, even after centuries of being caged in Purgatory. They probed everywhere for a way out of the illimitable, gloomy, foggy forest and rivers; killing themselves and others with hunger and insanity. Once a fiend is in, it’s nearly impossible to get out without a Reaper’s or Knight’s scythe.
During the film Steve Spielberg uses music, a mysterious shark and camera techniques such as simultaneous track and zoom, long shot, close up shots and medium shots to build suspense, tension and scare the audience.
The house groaned around her. The creak-creak-creak sound from the basement returned with it’s harsh melody. Walls shuddered. Doors slammed.
He wakes up on the cold, clean surface of a table rock. A rough candelabra flickers at his side as he stirs. Next to it there's three cut roses. Red. A look around and he finds he's in a cave. At the end of one actually. The air is mossy, thick. He doesn't know why he's here or how. Worse, he doesn't know who he is or who he was. He remembers this is called amnesia.
Thuck. Thuck. Thuck. A resounding series of knocks echoed from behind the white, paneled door. I emerged from the gap between my bed and the wall. Tears pricked at my eyes and I frantically wiped them from my face as my feet shuffled across the shag carpet. The door emitted a gentle creak and swung open.
“Wake up,” that’s what I heard after passing out from all the blows to the face. My vision is blurred I’m trying to stay awake but I lost consciousness; all of a sudden I felt a splash of coldness on my face, and I woke up gasping for air. The man with the deep ominous voice said, “Wakey wakey little man” I replied, “where the h*ll is Mako!” when I was fully aware of where I was, that’s when I started to panic.
"Shh, just let it out, (y/n)..Let it all out", Jack sheepishly smiled as he closed his eyes to comfort his weeping girlfriend.
No sounds come from inside the home. Just the twinkling of the stars overhead, and my breaking into someone’s home. Perfect. Nothing unusual here. It’s eight p.m. on a Friday night, and the entire house is pitch black. Hopefully, that means the bastard isn’t home. Nobody goes to bed at eight, right? He has to be out, probably cracking up over the girl dumb enough to lose her family’s heirloom. I heave the window the rest of the way up cringing at its squeal. I go completely still, gulping down breaths to stay quiet. My heart nearly
I can feel another blow. Hear the creak of a door opening. But I can’t remember what happened after
Walking back into the living room, a noise outside the back window caused her to stop in her tracks and turn to look out it. Slowly advancing the window, she noticed a figure sprinting off into the distance. Her face paled, as she reached for the door-nob to the back door. Slowly, she turned it and placed one foot in front of the other, her bare feet coming in contact with the damp
She managed to pry it off completely and fling it into the darkness. She stumbled away, coughing and gasping, toppling over her own legs. Tears were streaming down her face, when she lost her footing and plummeted to the floor. She clawed at the ground, digging her nails into the earth, pulling herself along while trying to escape the blob. She could hear the creature scurrying towards her in the distance. A black shadow flew above into the bareness in front of her. She froze, too terrified to move. The only sound was of her own heavy and irregular breathing. A low rumble broke the silence. She stared out into the open and could see a slight glint of white making its way towards her. As it neared closer she could see the faint black outline of the blob surrounding the white shape. The white crawled towards her, shrinking into the black, morphing into multiple shapes resembling
