Describe nightfall as you reach camp in the middle of the jungle.
There was utmost silence and pitch darkness as we walked towards the camp which was located at the middle of the jungle. Our footsteps could be heard along with the hoots of the owl, chirping of the crickets and croaks of the frogs. We were so exhausted and starved that we couldn’t even move an inch forward. Placing out torches down, we slowly sat down on the ground. When we started our journey the sun had shades of bright red and yellow but we never knew that we would get lost in the jungle at the middle of the night. Squirrels, Cats and other animals were crawling from place to place and enjoying the pitch darkness. An inkling was fixed in my mind that we would never find our way back home or to the camp. After taking a few minutes rest on the ground we started our journey again.
I could feel that someone was spying on us from far but I didn’t tell anything to my friends because they always felt that I made up random stories just to make them feel afraid. As we continued our journey, I noticed a spark appear behind a tree about 10m away. We headed towards that tree because I thought it would be a campfire of somebody else who came for camp and we could ask them the directions. When we reached the tree my assumption about the campfire was right but there seemed to be no one around the campfire. There was a sudden rush of fright down my spine because that place gave me ghostly presence feeling. When I turned to look whether my friends had the same ghostly feeling they were happily talking with each other and enjoying the campfire. The journey to the camp seemed very slow with them so I secretly wanted to leave them and find my own way to the camp but I never knew that I made the wrong decision!!!
As I walked past the campfire I flicked on my torch and I was lead to a river, and I had no idea how to walk to the other end of the river so I just walked along the river. Suddenly something enormous

    One morning, we decided to go out with some of the guests from the hostel for a hike along the hills by the seashore. These hills were covered in thick blades of grass but had rock faces that were pointed out towards the water. If you looked to your left you’d see these hills go for miles; mound after mound, circular shaped huts with cone shaped roofs sitting on top. African trees as well, looking as if the wind was blowing all the branches to one side of the trunk but they stood absolutely still; frozen in time. To your right you’d see the ocean go out for as far as you can see, while standing on a cliff with an almost vertical drop. From looking at the cliffs from the sides, it showed the many trails descending down the cliffs made by mountain goats and every once and a while you could see one half way down; climbing up. Although our surroundings were incredible, the heat was as well. We went through several bottles of water through-out the hike. Our leader, an African local, lead us down one of the more climbable hills to the ocean floor where it was covered in rock. With the sun beating down on us we felt trapped because we couldn’t swim in the water, the waves were too strong we’d be thrown up against the rocks.…

    This experience has been one of the most outlandish and eerie that one could of imagined. Most things in life can be explained rationally and with little thought to the reason or logic behind them, however what I have experienced is quite the conflicting to what I would usually be inclined to think. There must be some type of phenomenon that makes one feel as though one has left the natural world. These occurrences leave no room for logic, rationalization or justification.…

    After giving the pile of old tree limbs she was pointing at a good second stare I saw it. There was a roof slightly sticking up from a mass of brush. I had lived right up the hill from this location for 9 years and had been down to the camp dozens of times, but never have I ever noticed this small roof that was roughly 100 meters away from the camp. We sprinted on through the scraggly brush, being pulled back on by plenty of branches and jumping over small creeks. Tumbling, jerking, and fleeing was pulling everyone back, but yet was pushing everyone forward. We stopped dead in our tracks after what felt like hours of sprinting and adjusted to the spontaneous sight that was in front of us, sending my eyes into…

    The Bingham Light

    My mom and stepdad took my brother and I and some other family members down to the woods one night, as we all wanted to see the infamous Bingham light. It seemed like we walked forever in the woods until we came upon a clearing in the middle of the woods. It was only about a mile though, where we had to stand and shout out John Bingham’s name until the light appeared. As we were shouting out his name, low and behold a light in the distance appeared. It was far off but you could continuously see it moving closer and closer to us. The temperature changed. It didn’t get hotter but cooler. It was very scary to be in the middle of the woods to start off with, then to see this light coming toward us even after we stopped calling his name was terrifying. We didn’t stand around for it to get to close to us. We all started running as fast as we could out of those woods. There was loud screaming coming from all of us. I remember crying and hanging on to my mom for dear life. When we got out of the woods we looked back and the light was gone. We then began to laugh. No one can say if there really is a ghost out there in those woods or if we let our imagination get the best of us. It could even be someone else playing…

    When I got to the forest, everything was dark and I had no idea where France was but I persevered on, thinking about home. An hour or two later, I was very far from the camp, but knew that the soldiers were probably looking for me now because they do a check at 2:00 a.m. when young Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more. I asked to myself whether I should keep going or start resting. A few moments later I came with the conclusion to hide and rest in a secret place I found.…

    The surrounding peaceful regions and journey throughout the experience are astonishing. Moreover, nature is essentially ascetically pleasing to the eye, "A dull buzz of insects from the forest, tired horses grazing at the side of the road. The wildflowers growing by the roadside were abstract from this vantage point, paint dots of pink and purple and blue in the grass" (120), illustrating how different life forms takes place in the forest, the wildlife and nature itself. The subtle beauty of the wilderness still survives even in this horrific catastrophe creation of the world. Even more, representing the sense of hope in the darkest times, otherwise, the light at the end of a tunnel. The passiveness of the forest implies a significantly more positive and peaceful environment when traveling. Naturally, many different, peculiar discoveries are made in the wilderness, such as "When Kristen and August left the house in the woods… ‘It was incredible. I almost wanted to lock the door behind us’" (199). Many distinctive discoveries made in the forest due to this new abstract world. The usual cottages and houses in the trees are becoming rare and precious. These amazing discoveries are in the wilderness since not many people ponder in the shadows of the trees. Nevertheless, the sight of the wilderness is overall strikingly stunning, and…

    A mere twenty minutes later, I was exhausted. The sun had burst through the clouds and was basking the mountainside in violent light. I was roasting in the safety of my outer shell. As my once confident steps became desperate shuffles, I began to understand that my end was near. But I had a goal to achieve, and so I fought to deny what I knew to be true. Soon, I fell back and separated from the group. It was then that the guide made his move. He swooped down on me, looked me in the eye, and told me it was…

    The path was familiar, so despite the growing darkness, I could make my way through. I skipped over every rock, hopped over every puddle, and maneuvered my way through the low swinging branches of the great white oaks that lined the right side of the street. Living in a small town like Duren had its perks: there weren’t many people to hide your business from, you could walk out in the middle of the street at 2 AM without any concern, and the best part, you could look up and find a night sky filled with over a million stars. I looked up as I continued to walk straight ahead – the stars seemed to be brighter than usual that night. They danced in a melodic pattern across the black canvas and smiled upon those who wistfully sent up their wishes towards them. I was lost in a trance - the ethereal beauty of the sky had my full attention, as I wistfully longed to float away and become one with the…

    When I finally arrived at one of the camps later that night, I gratefully sat down on a fallen log that had been pushed around the fire and gulped in some much needed air. The camp was just a small clearing off the road. A fire pit sat in the middle with about ten logs around it. There were no tents or signs of shelter aside from a couple of low hanging branches that could provide some protection from a light rain or a particularly bright sun. A thin river ran at the far end of the camp, which was a small incline about ten feet deep with a couple of willows and an assortment of other trees that benefit from the running water. I took the pack off of my shoulder and felt for the small pouch that contained the only thing, besides my sympathies, that I had to offer the small dying boy who would likely visit my mind for the rest of my life. There was only a small piece of stale bread left, although I had tried to make it last. My stomach rumbled at the memory of the last hot meal I had, which had been a fortnight ago at the church during our last check-in. Some of the other carriers that were there looked over from their modest dinners (meals?), while others continued their conversations.…

    To my surprises, it opened slowly, with a loud creak and stumbled along the graveled path. Drunk with the wonder of seeing the things I thought I would have only seen in my dreams, I often tripped, and fell while wandering along the path. I sometimes left the visible road to tread across meadows, and splash through rivers.…

    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,…
