Sky

The lowering sun upon the horizon darkened the sky in various hues of purple and blue with tints of pink fading as the stars appeared in the sky. The rocky terrain of the mountains stretched above them making the perfect view for the near night sky. Setting down her tools for the night, Chantel dusted off the mounts of dirt sticking on her clothes and gingerly wrapped up the bones and fossils. "It looks like we got quite a prize today." She called, being surrounded by her group of smaller…

arrived and I feel better today, happy even. The sun is back, the birds are singing, and a double rainbow is painted across the bright blue sky. It’s so beautiful outside. Ravi and Daruka are shooting rocks at each other’s feet. Today feels like it’s going to be wonderful. It was hard to miss the outline of two people walking, especially against the beautiful blue sky. As they got closer, I noticed that Ravi and Daruka were watching them too. People never come to this side of the village,…

were the depictions used to portray the scene outside the window. They were as far from death as could reasonably be expected. "The scrumptious breath of rain...the notes of an inaccessible song...countless sparrows were twittering...patches of blue sky...." This depicted every single delightful picture of life. I was very confounded by the way she was watching things until Louise started to clarify her activities and why she was seeing the demise as a fresh…

The air was clouded with thick flakes of ash. The sky plagued with a death like grey shade. The once lively and beautiful city of Belgium, collapsed into a depressing scene of destruction and despair. There was no sign of life. The city was littered with gravel and bricks. Madeline opened her eyes and lifted the debris off of her dress. She stood up, and saw with a blurry vision. She was light headed and did not know what was going on. She started walking, taking in the destruction of her town…

Creative Writing I needed to escape hell and it was now, or never. Within seconds my father was already on to me, the one who created this miserable hell, had me in his grasp this whole time. The brass bells banged and clanged across the courtyard. Guards, on high alert, stood at each exit creating an impenetrable wall. I was surrounded and there was no way out of hell. I had to resort to desperate measures, it involved jumping off a five-storey mansion into a bale of hay. A die-or-do moment…

So I go for a ride on Splash Mountain. The seat is a model of a log and is designed to hold five people. Advancing to the seat, I feel my pants absorb the water from the previous ride; the handles are cold and slippery. The log begins forward and adrenaline is pumping through my body and my heart is racing. Vibrant colors all over the area, not knowing what is best to look at. The seat is going uphill, making me anxious. All of a sudden, the seat plummets and my body rises from the seat with a…

the bombing vividly. She’d been outside on the cement patio picking up toys that needed put away. She recalled that the sky was beautiful, and the stars were bright. Erica was a strong woman, who had emigrated from Germany a few years earlier. At the Fountain, she had been in charge of the Nursery on the Hill. She was very responsible but quite stern. Looking up to the sky that night, she reflected on her life and felt satisfied about her job. Erica loved those children under her care.…

boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters—lone and dead,— Their still waters—still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone…

from Andy, the local astronomer, who studied the stars because there was nothing else to do in Calm City. He called General Hardcore Hanley, “General!” he excitedly screamed. “I have just spotted bright lights dancing back and forth across the night sky,” Andy went on. “The brilliant blueish brownish lights bobbed up and down like erratic yo-yos barely touching the tops of the buildings below. What do we do? Oh, what do we do?” Andy yelped. The second call was made by…

rouses me. The plane is jolting around as rain pounds against the windows like bullets. Me and Aviva tightly grasp each other's arms. Outside my small window I see nothing but swirls of gray and black chaos as a flash of lightning arcs across the sky. The sky that was once a cloudy, smoky gray is now dangerous. A deep rumble of thunder makes me jump. I see nervous glances exchanged around me as the lights buzz and flicker. The sound of voices around me climbs higher as panic rises.The soothing…
