Fear
The last thing I heard was, “Don’t worry, it will be fine.”, then I entered a state of darkness where all colour from my vision faded and combined to form black.
My body jolts as my reluctant eyes unfasten themselves. I can’t see as my vision is blurry. My sense of touch reveals to me that I am lying down on dirt. It feels cold against my hands, sort of like an early morning chill. I reconfigure my position so I am standing. My eyes are still obscured and thus I wait a few seconds for the strain from eyes to relieve.
The air in this area smells like dead grass and garbage. The air seems to be polluted with the aroma of smoke, almost as if there is fire.
I cannot hear much as my ears are still ringing, but I can just faintly make

It is a windy day so the grass is swaying, giving it an eerie effect... almost as if someone or something is lurking behind the grass.
But that can’t be right.
The whole scene in front of me is dark and gloomy with a feeling of sorrow and death. I look at the sky for the sun, but I see nothing. The sky is empty and all that can be seen is the tedious, drab shaded sky, filled with nothing but a mist that is yet to allow the sun’s rays to enter this abominable place.
I turn behind me and observe my surroundings once more. I notice something that I did not see before. I identify a family of monkeys peacefully resting adjacent to a tree.
Wait, but there is more! There are some elephants near a crisp blue river that makes my mouth water.
“I could use some water right now to quench my thirst.” I thought, so I run to the river, full of exhilaration!
This bleak and dreary place has just turned into an adventure full of life and furor. As I run, I pass a herd of dark brown buffalos and some spectacular giraffes with their long delicate necks. After the giraffe comes deadly hyenas, majestic cheetahs, and the dazzling rhinos with their all-powerful
A fiery sunset grows larger and taller as trees alight and black fog covers the sky. An unbearable heat hits me, I wheeze as ashy smoke fills my lungs. The last thing I hear is hissing in the trees before I fade into the
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
Everything fades and i am left with a few seconds of shouting from the group of survivors before i am left in nothingness once again
I was surrounded by the sound of graphite moving anxiously over paper. The clamor filled my ears and collided with the dull ticking of the clock that hung over the SAT proctor’s disorderly, graying hair. There were only eighteen minutes left and I still had not written a single word. The prompt reverberated in my head like a ringing bell, but I could not form cohesive thoughts. My heart raced and my fingernails dug into the curve of my palm in panic, leaving small, pallid impressions in their wake. Pleading with myself, I considered the page that lay askew on the on the chipped desk in front of me. I wrote a desperate and painfully arbitrary sentence that I quickly erased. Nothing sounded right. I had studied and prepared for this moment with
The lake darkens as the ominous clouds race across the sky, as black as the devil’s soul, and swallows the bliss-blue complexion of the sky faster than you can blink. The world has abruptly become cellar-dark and the heavens above look to collapse down upon me. A deafening wind runs over the landscape like a thousand horses, the noise of the raindrops their clattering hoofs. The threatening force of the gales knocks and blows the trees in precarious ways, almost as though, if it had wanted to, the wind could blow them away as if they were but feathers, not heavy pines. Lighting lights up the sky like liquid, golden ore streaks being forged into forks up above. Wriggling and writhing with the pain of their own existence. Flashing once, twice, three times, polished and glossy like the cold prongs of the apocalypse. Shaking myself from my weather-caused trance, I hurry for shelter under a nearby fern tree. Staring deep into the blackness of the storm I wonder whether I will ever see that bliss-blue appearance
Although the tundra land was intriguing, there was a lot more to see; meandering down the valley, the grass (which was once a luscious green) has begun to grow dead, and dry. The shadowy sky – which is filled with ubiquitous clouds – reflects the decaying ground. It is a shield against the sun; it
There was no end, I was breathless, but didn't feel the need to gulp and struggle for air. My eyes were open, I know they're open, but all I could focus on was black darkness, and more black.
Everything is black. My head is splitting from the sounds surrounding me. Which slowly dwindle away until all I hear is a motor whirring loudly.
Golden streaks of sunlight cast a soft orange glow on my eyelids causing them to peel wide open. I found myself sprawled out in the pasture I collapsed in upon encountering the being. My heart rate slowed to its usual rhythm as it pounded within the cavity of my chest regaining equilibrium. Lush vegetation surrounded me. The sweet scent of the various species of plants from the bromeliads to the hairy gardenia permeated the sticky air. To my left was a secluded wooden cabin.
Upon looking outside, I found myself facing a horrific and terrifying view of the garden. It felt like as if you have become a part of some horror movie. The clouds were covering the moon and wasn’t letting the light pass through making it pitch black and scary. The constant transformation of the clouds into unusual shapes make the night even more frightening. The stone pathway leads to the ghastly garden of misery. The paths take you to every grim corner of the garden. The dried up plants and the trees give the image as if their souls have been taken away from them and left them to rot here. The mysterious light breaking free from the clutches of the shape changing mists cast dreadful shadows all over the garden. The light falling on the
The sky was more gray than it was blue, the clouds had blocked out all sunshine, the trees were a dull shade of green, the atmosphere outside was gloomy. I had just finished reading the Metamorphosis and I was terrified.
The sun was still below the horizon but the clouds above the mountains were tainted the color of pomegranates. Around me the shadows seemed empty. I tried not to look into the brush as I walked down the driveway. I had stopped before, looking to see the back of the shadows; staring hard, only to have them retreat from my eyes indefinitely. Invisible birds called from within. Their sound followed me down the driveway and onto the road.
An unpleasant emotion or feeling caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat : Fear. Fear is a strong word, it can mean a variety of things and lead to a variety of things depending on who you are. My fear caused me to shake and tremble as if the world was coming to an end. It makes me feel safe around no one. I look back on my life and ask myself, was it all worth it for this? It makes me shrink and fall the size of of a humming bird. My stomach starts to feel like it never has before. My head is spinning in circles and my hands are trembling to the point where I think they might fall off.
The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. The sun set and the earth waited.
It was three o’clock in the morning. Outside the window, the sky was still dark. There were barely any stars in the sky, and no cloud cluttered. The sky was painfully dark and motionless. Except for the faint light from the moon, everything seems lifeless. In a dark room, there was a girl sitting up on the bed, leaning on the wall beside her. She was looking out the window. Through the window, the girl can see the sky and the top of some buildings, however, nothing special or attractive. But, the girl has been staring at it for almost an hour now, silently and peacefully.
