Corvus Monologue
I guess it all started off like any other normal day. It always does. Everyone's happy and living their lives and then the world ends.
Well, it hasn't ended. Earth is still spinning, orbiting the sun. We're still getting seasons and global warming and all that, but what I mean is the world has ended for us.
In a way we brought this on ourselves. We created the Corvus virus, originally invented to kill off the brain tumours for brain cancer sufferers. My sister was one of the scientists that helped achieve this breakthrough in cancer. But something went wrong. Yeah, the serum attacked and killed off the cancer in the brain, but it did more than that. It started eating away at the human brain, controlling it, manipulating it, erasing its memories.

Just a hopeless sixteen year old girl lost in this mess of destruction we did to ourselves thinking it was for the better. What has happened to us? How could we have possibly let this occur?
I walk along the abandoned highway in silence. Six months ago cars would be buzzing past me, on their way to work or family or friends. I would be at school stressing about assignments, boys, looks, grade 10 leavers and all of that stuff that is so irrelevant to where I am now.
A crow caws an alarm nearby and i see the horrible black oily creature fly into the air, its long sharp beak open wide with something inside it. I turn to look where it first took off and spot something that makes my stomach turn. A human body is sprawled through the long dry grass, dead and slowly decaying, and various crows are pecking away into it. Luckily I was too far away to see the

After repeating this process with my gun steady and aimed up at the car window, I listen to the silence once more.
I have the impulsive feeling to run, run far away from this creature and never turn back. But I know that if I don't see what it is, if I don't see that it's dead with my own eyes, I will always be running away from it. In fear it is after me.
A tear slips down my cheek and my chest tightens. I try to focus on my breathing and controlling myself as I approach the car once more. As I peer through the broken window, carefully avoiding the small cracked shards still hanging loosely on the frame, my eyes adjust to the darkness. The creature is lying face-up, it's mouth ajar and its eyes staring up at the ceiling. It's most definitely dead, as its forehead is ripped apart from the bullet and scarlet red blood is splattered all over the car.
"Oh God..." I cry, leaning back out of the car and ripping my jumper off my mouth and nose. I lean beside the car and vomit, unable to hold back the few blackberries I had picked along the highway. It was too much. Just too

    Drive Driving Scene

    • 912 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Throughout this scene the audience rarely sees a direct clear shot of the driver. Often in this scene he is shown reflected in a mirror or a window. This creates the effect of mystery surrounding the Driver. He parks the car on the side of the road next to a building and an eye-line match from the drivers point-of-view follows two men wearing ski masks as they break into the building. The Driver tunes in to the police radio signal while simultaneously turning up the radio volume to listen to a sports game. A police officer is heard reporting shots fired at the location over the radio. The first robber makes it out and jumps into the backseat of the car. Panic and suspense ensue as they wait for the second robber to make it back. A police officer reports that he is 2 minutes away from the location. The camera zooms in on the Driver’s face, he appears passive and unfazed. Throughout the film the Driver has an air of passiveness and almost melancholy. This is illustrated especially in this scene as the Driver doesn't panic even in a high stress situation. An eye-line match shot shows the Driver looking at the door for the second robber. He still isn’t there causing the suspense to climb for viewers. The second robber is seen fleeing the scene and…

    How does being the king feel? It must feel like a relief because you had to kill your brother to get in this position. Did you kill your brother out of hatred or did you still care for him because I am very eager to know. I bet being the king is a hard task, I have not been one myself because I am simply a woman, but it seems hard enough just to help one person with their problem, but with millions of people, that must be the toughest task in the world! I admire that you were cared for by a she-wolf when you grew up. Do you remember any of it? I bet it was hard, knowing that no one except for a she-wolf would care for you, until Faustulus, the shepherd came along. Did you admire the she wolf? If I were you I would of ran…

    We are soon shown the inside of the car, looking from the back seat forward, seeing the windshield wipers going, and the light outside silhouetting two figures, a woman in the passenger seat and a man next to her, driving. They are talking, discussing their lives. Soon the woman mentions receiving a gun from her husband, which tells us a few things. Firstly, she is driving in the dark with a man that is not her husband and secondly, that she owns a gun. These two facts together create suspense and an air of suspicion.…

    End of the World

    Living in a world and knowing that it could end at any second is a pretty scary realization. Our planet has an unlimited lifespan and there are many predictions as to when this will all be over. Many people are fearing the newest, well-known prediction for our end. December 21st, 2012 is now entirely feared and the most anticipated date to come. There are many believers and non-believers of this so-called doomsday. Although scientists and others have argued the end of the world, closer examination has shown that the Holy Bible (King James version), the ancient Mayan Civilization, and some scientific evidence support the idea of the world ending in our near future but we are not certain of the exact date.…
