Descriptive Writing Cathedral
Sprinkling rain fell on me as I exited the grassy field. Once the blinding bright stadium lights had dissolved behind me, I quickly made a turned down to a small path that led to the foot of the metal bleachers. I looked up to see the crowd cheering up above. With my face concealed in the shadow, nobody seemed to noticed as I took two steps into the skeletal inside. Immediately, I could hear the loud pitter-pattering sound of feet echoing within the spiderweb-like cathedral. Glancing around, I saw nothing but dust, trash, and shadowy shapes. I kicked a nearby plastic cup and entered deeper inside. A familiar feeling of being watched slowly cloaked over me. I revolved slowly when all at once, a loud bang sounded followed by the shuffling, scratching sound of feet. My eyes shot up. The crowd was now standing, booing in displeasure. We must have lost the ball.
This is stupid, I told himself, what was I doing creeping under the bleacher? There was nothing but trash here, and there no old man. I probably imagined him, or worse

The walls shook, and before I could properly swing the door back open, I felt a shooting pass by my ear. It was the sound of fluttering wings that mutated into a high pitch ringing noise. I took two steps backward, pressing my hand to the side of my head. With the door fully open, I watched as the blood from the flooring spilled to the dirt. The inside was now empty.
"Dude, there you are!" Austin blurted running toward me, "Quick you’re needed back in the game. Jack got injured."
"What?"
"C'mon man."
Without time to even process the encounter I had just witnessed, I threw the door shut and sprinted, following my teammate back to the field.
Coach wasn't pleased by my sudden disappearance, but instead of a lecture, he was more than eager to get me back in. Next thing I knew, I was being tossed into the field without any word of Jack's injuries. Still jarred, I shook my head and forced my mind to the

    A slight breeze blew throughout the dandy forest, swaying the stiff lifeless trees and blowing the black stained leaves across my bare white feet. As I stumbled across the dead landscape, a slight fog swam around blending in with the increasingly falling snow. Hundreds of dark wood surrounding me seemed to slowly cave in, creating a narrow cave-like passage. An eerie feeling swept over me, and I stopped completely, analysing every detail around me. The smog became thicker, blinding the scenery and almost completely covering my vision. I sensed an inhuman presence watching me, and flinched whenever a snapping sound came from a faraway distance. I slowly turned around and began pacing in the direction I came from. The fog smothered me but I kept running,…

    “Figure it out, i’m not paying you to sit on your a**” said the ruthless King Barrett. Richard Barrett had been King of the North since his half brother Lance Merciful died a few years ago. His half brother never had a son, and his daughter was only 14 when he died, which was great news for Richard Barrett because he always wanted to be King; since he was younger than Lance he thought he would never get the chance. Now all that was standing in his way of eternal power was a chained up 17 year old girl.…

    As I opened the door to the panic room, I realized something…I had opened the door to the panic room. A place that when entered should have been locked should've been sealed so that nothing less than a tank could get through the door. Something was definitely awry. I released the handle and my hand came away sticky. It was blood, who's I didn't know but the handle was coated in it. Now that the ash no longer clouded my vision I could see that the panic room was pristine as ever. The walls unlike their fellows outside in the hall, were crisp and colorless. All except for the maroon streak that crawled along the floor oozing from a sizzling wound in someone's leg.…

    He hadn’t even finished the sentence and he shoved me out into the open. I began to move quicker than I ever had before. I could hear the sound of his rifle firing at the cliffs in front of me. Who knows if he was actually hitting anyone, but I didn’t care, I just kept running. Bullets started striking the sand at my feet rapidly. I started running in a zig-zag manner in an attempt…

    I shudder and pull my scarf tighter as I notice how cold it really is. As if on cue the fog moves in closer and hides the moon, the barn is now covered in suffocating darkness, slowly closing in on me. A sharp rapping on the door makes me jump, as there should be nobody outside. Do I dare open the door? Perhaps it’s only a dog wanting to find refuge from the storm. Yes, that must be it. I creep toward the door and place my numb fingertips on the handle. The noise stops unexpectedly. I sigh and pull my hand away from the door, leaning against the wall again. Without warning the wind picks up and the door swings open. A dark figure steps in and I scramble behind a straw bale. It growls, inching forward on beastly paws. I can hear each claw gouge the floorboards as it comes toward me like a heat seeking missile. My heart rate increases and my breath catches, my ribs expand and contract but my lungs are screaming. I try to breathe but instead I let out a ragged gasp. The creature twitches and stands still a moment, then it lets out a low snarl and rushes toward the straw bale. My body flutters to life and without thinking I run out the door. The creature races…

    Gazing across the lush field I lay my eyes on an enthusiastic crowd. Emotional chants rise from their voices but are immediately silenced from my hearing as the referee whistles the ball into play. I bend down to get into my stance, one hand down with my middle fingers balancing me into a running back stance. I feel the sweat dripping down my face and into my eyes causing a sizzling pain that brings my head back into the game. I knew it was only a matter of time, despite that it was only halfway through the third quarter. I had to make the most of the time I had left.…

    Rocketing across the water, the beach and sky blur into one. But in my mind everything is still, even calm in fact. My eyes dart around. I see men. Pain and panic fill their eyes. Some tremble as if catching a fever. Other soldiers clutch on to their weapons as if gripping onto their mother’s hand when learning how to walk. Some soldiers drink from their canteens, as if it’s the last drink to enter their bodies. I feel my heart race, blood pump through my veins. The Captain yells, “30 seconds! Good luck, men. May God be with you and I’ll see you on the beach!”…

    I was sitting at the computer desk in the upstairs loft, I had just finished my homework and began to check my phone, when I hear this loud thunder and lightening like sound and my house had shook like there was an earthquake. I was very confused and hadn’t realized what had happened, and as I look down all I can see is white insulation all over my desk and in my mouth. I could my brother Corey faintly yelling my name, “SARA SARA SARA?! ARE YOU OKAY?!”. I couldn’t respond I was in such a shock but I eventually responded with “Yes, I’m okay”. I stood up out of my chair and turned around to see this giant hole in the roof of my house.…

    When I was passing through the front door, I heard faint footsteps. Wild thoughts began to race through my mind…a ghost?.... a serial killer on the loose?...fear, raw and intense, sent my stomach churning. Swallowing a scream, I squatted down, trying to make myself invisible. Squinting in an effort to see clearly in the darkness, I could make out a shadow standing behind the door.…
