Improved Essays
All of a sudden, there was a terrifying and trembling noise in Whispering Pines that made me jolt upwards. Quickly I ran about the house investigating what had happened. I couldn’t believe it! My family disappeared! My pets vanished! What just happened? Where is everyone? When I opened the front door, the world was completely still. I was standing on the front porch staring uncontrollably in shock. No people. No pets. No cars. No movement. I was alone! I was in a panic, not sure what to do. Loneliness and fear entrenched me.

    It was a night like most others in the abandoned ghost town. All I saw was darkness and shadows creeping around every corner.

    The evergreen trees trapped under a pile of ashes, sweat, blood, guarded the aftermath of the winds, the fire, the storm, from them. It’s not easy to pick out what buildings were houses­–that people once lived in–or where those thousands had gone. After a while, the excitement of the cameras and flashes faded into a wave of heat choking out the last bit of life, the thousands left to walk into the invisibility of the air. The strong, invincible forest, evaporated into its vulnerability. By this time, people had forgotten about the serenity that the trees once breathed out: disgusted by the uselessness of the uprooted stumps– pitifully clinging onto the earth.…
