I ran. The sky was gloomy and a strong wind blew on the bushes. The clouds were gray and it seemed that it would soon be raining heavily. It was already late at night and I could feel the wind blowing at the back of my neck as I ran through the green fields. I did not know if they were chasing me or even knowing that I had managed to escape from the mansion, but the main thing that preoccupied me was that I had succeeded in the mission. I was able to get the coveted and mysterious thing that…

The celerity of the currents increased rapidly and it looked as if the smallest of the waves were topped with white caps. The thick bush did not shield me from the thrashing sprays of the river.

The sharp voice of Alice’s Mamaw rose above the noise to snap orders such as, “Sit down and be quiet!” in an effort to hear the weatherman on the TV. The lights flickered on and off as the electricity struggled to…

seconds, while focusing on the wind chime and everything else around it is blurred out. The seashell wind chime, is held together by a light, thin string that would be easy to fall apart (see Fig. 1). The seashell wind chime is also emphasized after the storm, when the house, the dock, and the shed is torn into pieces and the wind chime is missing.
