Creative Writing: Barbed Wind
Barbed wire fingers were strew across the barren land and the familiar smell of death lingered, its stale grip grasped the throats of those brave enough to bear it. The mud became unbearable, it oozed in to every crack and crevice, swallowing anything that
Stood in its direction, it lived and breathed pain and fear. What once where whispering winds became a constant howling cry that slashed and thrashed about.a rumbling pack of clouds had come rolling from the east smothering the morning ambiance of the royal sky and its cracks that filled with amber

    Death was forecasted as we propelled through the storm that awakened at our wrongdoings. “The bows went plunging at the breeze, sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.” (p. 1048) Even the simple thought of one surviving through the maelstrom was inconceivable. Nine days we “drifted on the teeming sea before dangerous high winds.” (p. 1048) On the tenth day, we “came to the coastline”.…

    Tormented. Beaten. Herded like cattle. Imprisoned within walls lined with barbed wire. Cowering with fear when in the shadow of a tall, strong soldier. All hope depicting escape has faded away and been replaced with dread. No one would dare attempt to abscond from the camp for it would result in immediate death. Blood spilled on the dirt floors, living in filth and scars.…

    You have been warned! Dusk was creeping away in the horizon leaving a fresh wound smeared across the face of the sky. Decayed marshes emanated a sour scent; forming a revolting tempest in my nostrils that cascaded like shattered glass through my windpipe. A foreboding aurora dissipated every ounce of bravery in my heart and displaced it with an unprecedented trepidation.…

    It was a roasting midday on a Saturday. Not a cloud in the sky, knocking back some smoko in the grips of my sweaty, bloody hand on the porch of one of the oblong huts, the galvanised iron roof buckled and creaked as the mercury rose to forty three. The sounds of pigs squealing broke the silence of the dusty outback wind that swiftly gathers up dust and travels through the thin clearing of the coolabah trees. The earth was worked and prepared, and dusty as the Poison Gate Road.…

    I glanced out of the train window, watching the scenery speed away. Mighty oaks, bristling firs and radiant maple trees were all transformed into no more than colourful pins. The seat beside me lay vacant, as what once sat a wonderful and lovely gentleman, no longer shares with me the long trip home. I stare at the endless mass of space, overshadowing the Earth. The grey radiant clouds, together, began to form a distinctive image of his face, shaping his luminous smile almost to an exact. The subconscious image the clouds attempted to portray, vanished in a matter or seconds, as the white, thick clouds, spread its wings in what was forecasted to be a destructive path. Witnessing this brings me back to the day God wept a silent rain among the mournful souls.…

    She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air.

    It came on great bared, tremendous legs. It creaked out in the open, a startled beast, curling it’s watchmaker’s claws at every step. Each leg dragged behind the next, a thousand pounds of white bone, sunk in thick ropes of muscle, as each of the four legs stamped the cold dirt-filled ground. Each thigh shook as the beast walked, even at the slowest pace. And above the legs a giant food incinerator hidden by it’s bare skin dangled with extra weight, while the head slowly dropped in sight of a predator. And the head itself, a thin slab of stone, hovering two feet above the ground. Its mouth hanging wide open, you could see the as sharp as a knife, teeth waiting to capture its lunch. Its eyes narrowed in on the taunting prey.…

    In an enormous kingdom by the sea, a kingdom filled with blooming flowers, filled with green pasture and chilling fountains, a maiden by the name of Annabel Lee sat silently. The waves lapped gently, for nothing could disturb her peaceful stature. The sky was a dark blue colour, so dark that the sea and the sky seemed to merge together. Her beautiful, blonde hair flapped in the wind, hair so light that even the gentlest breeze could lift. A tender smile etched on her face, she stared at the horizon, the sunlight reflecting her golden features. Birds crowed as if they were signifying another bright, wonderful day. Even the creatures that existed on the land seemed to marvel in her glorious presence.…

    It was a grey afternoon with a dull sky. The wind was sighing in the tree top and boughs moaned. The dark, ragged and ominous clouds drifted over. Surprisingly, instead of beating down a curtain of rain from heavens, it only brought drizzle. “I wish it would rain cats and dogs.” Sylvia talked to herself while she was sitting in a bus looking up to the eerie sky.…

    The wind howled through the woods. The trees violently swayed, threatening to topple with ever shudder. The rain tore through the night, drenching everything in it's path. The dark grey sky crackled with energy, illuminating the whole forest for a fraction of a second. An almighty BOOM sounded throughout the forest, and all surrounding areas. A single spear of lightening darted down to the forest floor gone before a second glance. The sky rumbled; a dark ominous sound.…

    He stepped out into the cold, dark night. The air smelled fresh after the storm. He gasped as the cold air sliced through his throat, his breath dissipating from a cloud of steam. He wrapped himself more tightly into his black cape, and ventured forward into the night. The sounds of his feet crushing the pebbles underneath, the ravens spilling out their haunting call, his own breath quivering in the icy atmosphere - these noises chilled him even further. Shook his spine and froze his heart. He stopped suddenly. As if he could take no more, as if the world's conspiracy against him on this dark night had taken its final toll on his vulnerable soul. A distant sheet of lightning cracked through the sky, briefly lighting a tortured, hallowed face floating directly in front of him, mirroring his own. He leapt back in fright and nearly lost his balance, but his cold, slowed brain caught him on the edge of the abyss.…
