A Short Story About Sharks

Improved Essays
It was a cold winters day, snow billowing down from above the clouded grey sky.
Anya walked down the cemented side-walk, her feet trudging through deep snow.
Her paled face was down, as if she thought the snow below was more interesting than what was in front of her. As she continued down the long side-walk, her foot bumped into something. She paused. Anya looked down, and what lay in front of her was a lump. She blinked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. What was this? It was just a lump of snow. Or at-least she thought so.

She was frozen to the spot. She didn't know if she should continue to try and get out of this mysterious girl's grip or try and help her.
She let her instincts take control. She let out an ear piercing scream before wrenching her wrist from the shivering girl's grasp.
She leaped over the girl and sprinted off, her coat trailing off behind her. Her sides aching in pain after she ran far off. She stopped, panting widely as she glanced around her. After she caught her breath, she let out a strangled noise. Why had she left that girl behind, she was obviously in need.. But she was so scared. Her mind fought over whether or not she should go back and help.

After a long while her mind finally decided to do the right thing and help out that poor girl.

She let out a nervous chuckle to herself, before she headed back to

    Character Insert-Creative Writing Project Dixie-Lee Hayes lay on the ground gasping for breath, scowling at the tree above her. That very particular tree, which she had been previously occupying, was the dark-haired woman's favorite because it grew at an angle and required very little effort to climb. The branches of the surrounding trees were full enough to shade the area but not to obstruct her view of the camp, making it the perfect area for her to people watch after she had finished her chores. The tree was steep enough that no walker would have had enough balance to climb and covered enough that anyone from the group would have to actively look for her in order to see her, giving her the perfect false sense of security.…

What lies in the bottom drawer is a device so powerful—no—so dangerous, that it had to be hidden once it reach completion. It's been many years since she dared to gaze upon the device in fear of someone with nefarious intentions stumbles upon its dwelling place. Falling to her knees, she ignores the burning of her nose as she stirs up dust and cobwebs, and reaches for the desk handle, inching it open just enough for her to see the black metallic gleam on the small, circular device. Her finger grazes the top of the device, silently noting how cold it is, but she tears her eyes away a moment—just to catch a glimmer of the outside world through the long over arching window in her bedroom— to watch the falling white snowflakes coat the world in a blanket of perfection,…
