the nearest door and swiped his ID badge across the bar code reader. Fortunately for him, the door opened. He wasted no time in getting inside. There was a switch on the side as he entered and he turned on the lights immediately. He then checked that the door handle on the inside would work before he closed the door. He was quite wary now of locking himself inside anything. His initial thought that this might be a way out. In fact, he let out a sigh as he saw where he was. The worst place he thought
In the Red Room the visitor is travelling through a corridor and then into a room. The corridor is "shadowy" and the visitor has to move his candle "from side to side" he does this to see what is before him on either side, before actually moving on. This creates an atmosphere of tension even before he reaches
Phelps and Umonakalisi reached the bottom of the stairwell, stopping just long enough to catch their breath, but with the location of their foe unknown, Phelps opened a crack in the door just wide enough to hear the silence of the empty corridor. They were alone. Their prey still alluded them, and both men burst through the doors, setting off at a sprint along the passageway. Within thirty seconds, the signs on the walls announced the beginning of Hangar G. Phelps slowed. He searched for an entrance
The ancient Roman Colosseum is perhaps the most astonishing wonder in the history of Architecture known to man kind. The Colosseum served to provide a place of entertainment for the people of Rome and dole out harsh punishments portrayed through shows ending with death to menaces of society. The basis for the idea behind the Colosseum began with the Roman Emperor Vespasian who overtook the Emperor Nero to gain control of the Roman Empire. Much like Nero and other emperors during his time, Vespasian
Abstract Proponents of the wildlife corridor concept suggest that by connecting otherwise isolated portions of habitat, species benefit through gaining access to a larger gene pool, thus increasing their chances of reproductive success. Despite the popularisation of this idea over the last several decades, a lack of long-term scientific research has led some to question this assumption. Factors including the territorial, mating and migration behaviours of individual species of animal as well as the
The Minotaur of Crete 1 I was sitting inside my research lab when I first began the adventure that changed my life. RING. The phone inside my cramped lab started to ring. “I’ll get it.” I tell my two lab partners. After I had tripped over two boxes, knocked over a beaker, and managed to hit my head on the ceiling, I had finally reached the phone. “This better be important.” I mutter to myself. I pick up the phone. “This is Athens laboratory corporation, Theseus speaking.” I then heard a voice from
"Hub. Find the frequency of that transmission. I want to hear what they're saying." "Searching," came the reply and then almost immediately the audio came to life. "We've captured the hangar and secured the corridor outside." "Have you met any resistance?" "None. We're preparing to move on the bridge now." "Well done. And remember what I told you earlier. You may find an ally." "Oh my god!" Marcus exclaimed. "That's Desol Sankath, Lycia's lover." "The one in the hangar?" Tom asked, his gaze still
himself along the corridor of the battleship Hammerhead. Holding a flashlight in one hand, and using the other hand and his good leg to guide and propel himself, he moved down the darkened passageway. The beam of the flashlight reflected strangely from the pastel green walls of the corridor, giving him the uneasy sensation that he was swimming underwater instead of moving through the blasted hulk of a battleship, a thousand light-years from home. He came to a turn in the corridor and tried to move
Goosebumps push their way to the surface of your skin. The magic is working. On either side of you are many rooms. As you drift through the hallway, you peek inside each room. In one, a volunteer reads Curious George to a pack of preschoolers. In another, a university student combs through medical journals for his thesis research. Near the end of the hall, you come across a darkened room with rows and rows of
Christian architecture of 1841. Therefore, he attributed the ideas of arts and crafts movement spawned in England by pugin’s fol-lowers. As a result of that he gathered these ideas in a building which he called it “keynote” or the Glessner house. Insides of Glessner House show the about immaculate coordinated effort between the planner and his customers. Composed amid the alleged Gilded Age, when America's recently rich industrialists
