The Black Beast: A Narrative Fiction

Krakauer uses the symbol of a beast in Into the Wild to reveal that as Chris’ journey continues his inner beast continues to develop. To begin, the beast reveals Chris is “strong in Buck” (Krakauer, 38). As a form of resistance a beast will buck; it does not worry about who it may hurt but just kicks, throwing a rider off its back. In the same way Chris does not agree with society so he bucks and runs away, he had “an uncanny knack for making a buck” (115) “there was no way to stop him” (118) his leaving was “one abrupt, swift action… completely knock[ing] them [his family] out” (64). This is significant because this symbol reveals Chris rejects society and thus leaves his family to fuel his own desires. Just as a beast will buck to resist its master

`Beat me!' he heard her cry. `Throw me down and beat me you dirty little coward!' A moment later she rushed out into the dusk waving her hands and shouting; before he could move from his door the business was over. The `death car' as the newspapers called it, didn't stop; it came out of the gathering darkness, wavered tragically for a moment and then

Dr. Rook moved away from his chair, coming toward the window and peeking through into the glass. His subtle blue stare focused downwards where an ambulance swerved into the parking lot. It's unmistakable siren rang with awful music with tires screeching to a halt and the back doors flying open. Paramedics rushed out, rolling out a stretcher carrying an unusual man.

I captured this adult great black wasp as it was landing on a rattlesnake master flower. Perhaps, it was in the process of getting nectar from the flower but as I walked closer and snapped the picture it flew away. The entire color of the insect is black, and its wings as Frisch (1938) said are dark with bluish or violet reflection. It is a hymenoptera so the insect underwent complete metamorphosis. The larvae form and the adult form do not share the same source of diet. The adult food is usually nectar or pollen, and the larvae food is commonly katydid hence that is why their other common name is also Katydid Hunter (Coin, 2004). The larvae of the great black wasp wait for their meal of katydid when the adult brings to their nest. The adults

Dirt flies up from the ground like kids jumping on a trampoline. The red, white, and blue #19 Tobias Slingshot flies past the red #026. In anger of losing his position. #026 closes the distance between the two cars. Mere inches separate the two vehicles. They touch. Even though the touch is as light as a feather, it sends #19 hurtling towards the wall. The sound of a gunshot is heard as the car ricochets of the wall at a 90 degree angle. The driver looks at the night sky. The sky is beautiful with the stars twinkling like diamonds. But, the beautiful sight ends as the car crashes into the ground. The drivers hands shoot forward. "Snap!" As the red flag comes out, sirens are heard in the distance...

“Wahoo!” Billy screamed out as Ryan gave a rebel yell. Johnny then quickly brought the pickup to a stop yelling back to them, “Shut up! Shut up, you guys,” as he scowled through the rear window, but it was too late. They’re screams of enjoyment hadn’t gone unnoticed. It was like a bout of déjà vu had hit Johnny, Ryan, and Billy all at the same time as they watched scores of the dead pouring back out of the forested area behind the homes on Buffalo Avenue. The pickup sat almost at the exact spot to which Johnny had decapitated the little girl with a shotgun blast several hours earlier, her body only several yards away. “Hold on!” he yelled as he slammed the shifter into drive and pinned the throttle to the floor. The Black Beast rear

Their howling resummoned the darkness. And like a serpent, it slivered into every crack and crevasse, eventually swallowing the car itself. Jack was allowed the exquisite ugliness of returning back to consciousness; with cold fear pouring through his veins as he went to press the ignition key.

On a dark, gloomy night the sound of the factory drowned out the outside world. Sparks flying from the welding rods, gears are grinding. Two workers exhausted working over there unusual overtime hours . They look like Monsters with all their welding equipment on. Raekwon had an eerie feeling about Jack Because he knew that jack had stolen from the company. Jack breaks the silence and ask him about the missing tools. By raekwon being silent made jack automatically assume he knew. Raekwon Adrenaline Was pumping Because he knew an altercation Was coming but he didn't know when. He felt the stare of jack Piercing into the back of his head. Finally Raekwon’s shift was over and as he was getting into his car he got a sudden burst of Adrenaline as he caught jack standing in the middle of the parking lot staring into

The Black Beast picked up speed after Johnny had safely navigated around even more road debris. Then at about forty miles-per-hour he struck one of the dead that was unavoidably occupying the roadway. It was a scrawny but tall man with brown hair and a neatly trimmed Fu Manchu. He was no match for the Black Beast’s side fender as it swatted him away like a fly. The forceful impact sending him careening out of the street and into a fire hydrant shattering his femur when he ricocheted off it. The immense force had also snapped his spine like a toothpick, and when he finally came to a rest in the front parking lot of Marvin’s pool supplies his jumbled body laid in ruin with his leg bone piercing up out his ripped trousers.

We called *Jamie Masterson “Wolf” because when things got crazy, you could expect a long Virginia backwoods howl from Wolf. He did it, to relieve stress. Everyone within ear-shod, could relate to it. We all wanted to howl sometimes.

It shows the driver stop the vehicle after the front right wheel runs over her: but after assessing the damage, he drives away, this time running the hind wheel over her.

Vicente’s Tahoe was the first SUV in the lineup driving down the road. Without a living driver the SUV veered to the right off the road into the desert. As the Tahoe drove off the road Trevor won the battle for the rifle, quickly shooting and killing the man in the passenger seat. The truck slowed as it drove further into the desert. 500 yards later the Tahoe struck a cactus bring the Tahoe came to a stop.

Evan wasted no time. He laid down on his horn revving his engine at the vehicle in front of him. “Come on, Move!” he yelled out his window at the other motorist. The driver of the van caught Evan’s impatience and edged forward, but there was no place for him to go. That didn’t matter, though, because Evan had all the room he needed. In a fluid motion, he forced his steering wheel as far to the right as it would allow and he let down on the gas. The Pontiac’s engine shot up with the flood of fuel and the vehicle lunged forward into the right lane clipping the front fender of a Toyota. The driver of the Toyota then yelled out, “What the hell are you doing, you lunatic?” in fright and anger, her face contorted over Evan’s

Before anyone could answer a large undead appeared from around the corner, it's skin was like leather from a cow, it still had its fatigues on from the war, the monster looked like an older nazi soldier left to wither out. We were all dazed by the monster. As we were all staring at it the monster turned and looked at us and ran at us with one of its arms in front of it to use as a battering ram. It missed both of our jeeps and slammed right into an older red butcher shop. The entire building collapsed onto it. Everyone looked at each other confused and alerted on what happened.
