Imagine
Darkness. Heavy breathing. It’s my own breaths. I’m running frantically. All I see is darkness and I’m sprinting for my life, but from what? I don’t know, but it’s bad. It’s so, so bad. My breathing gets more jagged and broken, but the something is following me and panic is creeping up my throat. My heart beat is only growing more rapidly with every painstaking step that I take. Just when it seems that I can’t run any longer, I see a light. With a new burst of energy, I rush towards it. I come to discover I’ve been running in a tunnel. A really long tunnel by the feeling in my lungs. It’s made of stone with a rounded roof. It’s moss covered and moldy smelling and it’s… vibrating? Yes, vibrating. The something is still chasing …show more content…
Only when I start running with it in my grasp, I notice off-hand that it is now a bright green lightsaber. Even better. Both of us are running now, fighting to be the first one in the middle circle of the giant steel X. I realize we’ll get there at the same time. Getting closer with every step, I raise my lightsaber over my head, ready to strike. Darth Vader is within my reach in three… two… one… CRASH! I’m locked in an epic lightsaber battle with Darth Vader. I swing my lightsaber with all of my might, but I feel myself losing ground. He’s too good, and I will eventually lose. My only hope is to cheat a little. I swing high, opening up his lower half. I kick out with my leg, as hard as I can, connecting with one of his kneecaps. He lets out a wail and stumbles to the ground. I keep at him, stabbing towards his helmet. He rolls, but he does so right off the side. I see his black gloved fingers clinging for dear life on the side of the steel walkway, so I approach him slowly. I look over the side at his masked face. He feebly reaches up with his other hand and I crouch down to take it. When we both have a firm grasp on each other, Darth Vader speaks. “Mallory…” he gasps, “I am your …show more content…
Their trunks browner than a stained mahogany table. The birds flying overhead are the colors of a rainbow, brighter than I thought possible. I suck in a shallow breath of disbelief and start spinning to see all that surrounds me. It’s almost too beautiful to absorb. Bzzzzzzzzzzz. My head whips back and forth, looking for the source of the noise. I spot a bumblebee the size of a tennis ball lazily making its way in my direction. Fear pings in my lower abdomen and I turn to go back through the metal door. Upon inspection, the handle is no longer on the door. I’m stuck. I face the monster bee and stay as frozen as humanly possible. It bounces and bobs in the air closer and closer to my face. When it appears within a foot of my nose, my instincts take over my reactions and I swat and hit the bumblebee. It buzzes angrily and disappears in a POOF! I sigh deeply and commence my journey through the beautiful jungle. I only take five steps before I hear the buzzing again. It’s behind me now, and I pick up my pace. The noise is continuously increasing, making my heart thump in my chest. I decide to stop running. There’s nothing to be afraid of,
