What Happened To Me Descriptive Writing
I awoke on a beach, completely soaked, with salt water up my nose, and sand in every uncomfortable place imaginable. Drenched black hair obscured my sight. Cold sea air chilled my bare back. If I didn't move soon I would die of hypothermia. I stood on my trembling legs. The cold wind bit at my chest. The sky was dark and it was clear that it would rain soon. Broken boards and scattered crates littered the shore. Clearly I was on some kind of ship, but where I was or where I came from was lost to me. Hell I didn't even remember my name. Inside one of those battered crates was an indistinguishable mass of feathers, though the subtle rising and falling of it's side said that was more than feathers. Up ahead, on top of a small hill, was a small …show more content…
On it's back was a large pair of wings and a whiplike featherless tail on it's rear end. It screeched again, and it was so loud I had to cover my ears without being deafened. I was lucky I did to because that caused me to move my head just enough to be missed by it's second lunge. It's back paw did clip my shoulder sending me head first into the sand. "Damn bird," I shouted over the roar of the storm. I picked up the nearest board, not willing to spend anymore time on this pest of a bird. It pounced once more, and I swung as hard as I could, hoping it would panic from the pain of a board to the face. I hit my mark and slammed the plank into it's yellow beady eye. Blood squirted from the wound and it tumbled away to my side. I kind of felt bad for the beast. Surely it just wanted a meal, it would just be instinct for an animal, but this was survival of the fittest. Right now it is kill or be killed, and I don't plan on dying. Sadly that is just the way this would have to be. I made another dash to the town, hoping I'd be able to gain some distance. I knew it would catch up eventually, and I was ready to dodge if I heard

    He had found the poor lab in an alleyway with bruises up and down its body. But it had love in its eyes, he thought. The Pit Bull had no empathy. That was the difference between them. It had begun moving slowly at the tent. The boy quickly bit off a piece of duct tape and wrapped his dog’s wound. It would take both of them. The menacing terrier broke into a sprint with gnashing teeth. The boy had no weapons but his fists and friend. His dog braved and lunged at the beast. The boy did as well, punching, kicking, and yelling. The creature probably weighed twice what he did. His dog let out a cry, but he could not tell if it was owing to the preexisting injury or a fresh wound. He could barely see through his drenched hair and the sheets of rain. The beast, unfeeling, did not yelp when he caught its jaw with a sharp blow. It simply paused, stared at him, and backed away slowly. It seemed bewildered, but its beady eyes exhibited no signs of pain. It was…

    June 6, 1944, 0630 hours (MacDonald). Not a single gull in the sky. All that could be heard were the crashing of waves against the side of the boat, the vomiting of my brothers in arms due to sea sickness and fear, and my own heartbeat, beating louder than it ever had. Water was continuously spilling over into the boat, waves crashing down over the walls soaking all of us inside. It was foggy, the sun could only be seen as a smear of light behind the gray and black that consumed the morning sky. Our boat was moving, I knew where to, but its direction almost impossible to tell. All that could be seen from inside the boat was the sky and the four walls that surrounded me. I was experiencing all these sounds and distractions and movements, yet, I felt as though I was…

    “Hey there! Are you alright?” the creature’s voice sounded feminine, and he could tell that she was getting closer as this time the voice was much louder. Fear gripped him as he thought back at all those stories his neighbourhood friends told him, bloodthirsty savage cats in the forest, who kill for fun and laugh at their prey as blood flows out of their life-sustaining arteries and heave for their last breaths and...maybe he was just thinking too much.…

    He stopped moving and fell to the ground, the fire around his neck gone now. The creacher that I seen next almost gave me a heart attack. A woman with bat like wings and bird like feet with massive claws came rushing to him. Before I knew it my feet where in motion and i was by his side, I cut at the beast and cut off the foot and golden blood rain out. I turned the hilt of my sword and the sword loosened and I wiped my sword around its neck digging the blades into its neck and it went wild.…

    Why I Hate Writing

    • 508 Words
    • 3 Pages

    On the first day of class, Dr.Ruiz wrote six questions on the board and the last question asked for our perspective on writing. My answer to this question was “I hate writing.” I’m an English Learner who came to the U.S. 5 years ago with no knowledge in English. Therefore, writing is not a likable assignment due to my lack of English skills and I did not have confidence when I wrote in English because I had a fear of people’s judgment about my English. Therefore, I was not an advanced writer when I enrolled in WRI 001. Nevertheless, I have grown substantially since beginning of the semester as a reader, writer, researcher and thinker.…

    A memento, a token, a keepsake, and a talisman can be anything from a small item kept in memory of the person who gave it to you or originally owned it, to an object kept as a reminder or souvenir of an event. A memento, a token, a keepsake and a talisman are souvenirs, something that stirs memories from the past, so you will never forget them. You need these memories to have something to look back on when you get older, when that one special person who meant so much to you is gone in an instant.…

    When it comes to writing, I become seriously stressed. I will put off all writing as long as I can. I can become physically sick from the amount of destress that essays, journals, and letters cause me. Since I put these assignments off for so long, they usually end up sloppy and not proofread. Taking this class was in hopes of remedying that as well as helping me to become a better writer. While I have learned a few things about writing from this class, like narrative line and that commas need to go before connector words in order to connect independent clauses, I do not feel any better about writing. As I put these words into my word processor, I feel sick and have put this off for too long. My writing process has not become any less stressful.…

    My Writing Style

    • 1430 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Influence can come from anywhere when it comes to writing. A lot of my influence comes from what I read, or a specific author's writing style. I try to take pieces from different authors and connect them to my writing, creating something that sounds unique and different, and also something that I would enjoy reading if I was the audience. Many of my favorite authors have different writing styles, but one particular author that really catches my attention is Ellen Hopkins. Her style of writing is one of my favorites, and I have yet to witness any other author attempt to execute it. In her writing, she mimics the format of a poem, creating unique styles and designs that accentuate her stories, without limiting them to…

    The howling of the wind brought my eyes to open. Where was I? Focusing in the dark of night, confusion washed over me as I came to realize I was in the desert. Distant landscapes of dry and worn rock surrounded me, and beneath my bare feet I felt the gritty sand caught between my toes. I was surrounded by those rocky hills and yet as I scanned the desolate desert it seemed never ending. The irony of the nighttime desert suddenly set into my body; that ghastly wind moving right through me and chilling my bones to that of splintering ice. The need to move started me forward though, and I felt a sharp ache all over, my body trying to fight against change. Was I lost? My heart began pounding fast in my chest, the blood pumping through my veins felt like an icy river. So slow, but I trudged onwards, hope holding onto a possible lie. It was when my pace held steady that a sudden wariness alerted me to foreign noises. Soft hissing sailed through the air waves, accompanied by a more mechanic static… What was that? It slid right into my mind and took me in a hold. I halted, my feet sinking into the sand. An uneasy paranoia gripped my chest as the noises mirrored me, pausing just as I did. Sickness rose like bile in my throat, I could feel eyes upon me… somewhere. I began to move again, desperate to leave this place now. Stubbornly, I stared towards the endlessness of the chilly desert, refusing to look back. I dared not to look back. A strong gale came, making my hair flail out behind me and the tiniest of noises began to spiral around my head with unseen stealth. The static came back, but mingled within it was a wicked giggling. I looked around uneasily, head turning to look and search all around me. Where was it coming from? All I saw was those silent, unmoving rocky hills…The giggling continued to move all around me, fading in and out of hearing range, corrupting me to an edginess that brought on an unwanted burst of adrenalin. Burning tears began to well up in my eyes,…
