Creative Writing: The Forbidden Trail
Sounds of men pulling potatoes out of the ground filled the air as the children ran around our huts like birds that filled the area. The sun gleamed in our faces while we watered the plants, our faces burned to ashes, while at night our only protection from the freezing, desert night weather was the dirt on the ground. A forbidden trail was on the west side of the country. Rumours say that the road may contain monsters, evil spirits and no end. Every man or woman who entered this area was never seen again. Screams were heard from the forests, accompanied by cracking of eggs. This is told to be the dragon’s egg cracking to attack the helpless victims of curiosity.

The moonlight struck. I packed my bags to head to the trail with my companion,

    explain everything to you in a minute.” said Captain Skillman. As they sat there quiet. Deputy Blake held his head down. “Are you okay?” ask Captain Skillman. “Yes I’m fine, I’m just a little tired.” said Deputy Blake. “Well, we won’t be long.” said Captain Skillman. As they sat there, three men walked in, Lieutenant Crimp, Lieutenant Nectar and Sergeant Prim. Captain Skillman stood up and shook their hands. “Now we can start.” said Captain Skillman. Then six special agents walked in. “What’s going on?” ask Deputy Corde. “Gentlemen, these are FBI agents and you five have been pretty busy, we’ve had you all under surveillance and you all have been participating in illegal activities.” said Captain Skillman. “HOLD ON, WHAT IS ALL THIS?” yelled…

    My division was stationed in Normandy, France, at the time of the Allied invasion on June 6, 1944. Toward the end of August or early September, Canadian troops captured me near Dieppe.10 I was with a small group of men who were cut off from our main company and overrun by motorized Allied units. For several days we wandered around searching for our unit, until one night we strayed into a field camp of Canadian soldiers. You can well imagine the astonishment all around when we suddenly appeared in their midst. The Canadians didn’t have a guard posted. This was probably better for all because otherwise we might have exchanged gunfire. Instead, we peacefully turned over our weapons and in return received cigarettes.…

    “Twenty years,” the old man named Peter mumbled silently with his navy-blue jacket on and an oak cane in hand. He hadn’t looked at the monstrosity in years. He stood for minutes at the cold entryway. As he walked through the iron gates, he glanced at the graves of his acquaintances.…

    Something flew by her. This time, she definitely knew it was a bird, a crow or raven of sort but bigger. Glancing around, Annabeth didn’t see anything but knew that something was there. Another black bird like creature flashed by her face. It left a long scratch down her face. Long but thankfully not very deep or bad. It reminded her of the time she had gotten a paper cut at school, but a lot longer. She looked down at her braclet. A shield, a flashlight, a knife. A shield would might work. Her hand fingered over the red ruby. As the black creature flashed by her face again, she pressed down on it. The eight petal like blades spun out and formed a shield. She heard an unnatural cry and a thunk as the creature hit the shield and fell to the ground. Annabeth slowly and carefully pressed the ruby again. Dismantling the shield back into the silver snake wrapping around her wrist. When she looked down, she saw a bat. Wait a bat? She thought. It was thrashing around on it’s back, as if the creature had lost sense of…

    The snow is falling heavily now, large opaque flakes drifting to and fro, trying to find their place in a dangerous world. It’s not safe for snowflakes out here. I walk briskly to the barn. The yellow lamp above the door puts out a faint drone, the only noise save for the crunching of snow and ice beneath my feet. I grip the horseshoe handle and pull, breaking ice along the hinges, causing them to squeak in protest. Too cold, too tired, too demanding of me. I gently pull the door shut, and lean against the wall. The soft chatter of owls in the rafters catches my attention and I look up. They stare back inquisitively for a moment while I watch them shift and settle again by way of moonlight seeping through the worn roof and then all is quiet.…

    How could he just treat us all like we were cattle as if it was nothing? The speedometer crept up to 60 miles per hour. Didn’t he care that people everywhere were starving? How could he do this? When he was elected he promised that he would Make America Great Again. 70 miles per hour. I had to get to the rally. We needed change, we could be that change. 80 miles per hour. My thoughts were interrupted as my eyes caught the reflecting glow of red and blue lights paint the night sky behind me. Crap. I pulled over and turned off the car, ready to feed the officer behind me a great line about how my grandmother was on her death bed and wanted me and only me to be at her side. My eyes shifted and glanced to the side mirror, the officer straightened out his already tucked in uniform and smoothed his hands over his hair as he made his way from his cruiser. Great, I thought. I wonder how many reprimands this stiff is gonna write me up for. My record already had 14 points on it for picketing, 6 more and I’d be in real trouble. He knocked on the window…

    When I entered inside the courtyard of the Wailing Wall I saw many people praying loudly and softly. They all wore a yarmulke. A yarmulke is a oval head cap used by the Jews. It looks like a white circle cloth. Anyone who comes near the wall has to wear a yarmulke, including myself. As I came closer to the wailing wall I looked at the cracks and noticed closely that there were many little notes inside of them.…

    A couple of weeks back I was approaching a pedestrian crossing and slowed down to a stop some twenty feet from the white lines as a young couple and their infant were making their way to the other side of the road.

    And the war, well, she is Roger’s mother, she’s leached at all the soft, the vulnerable inclusions of hope and praise scattered, beneath the mica-dazzle, through Roger’s mineral, grave-marker self, washed it all moaning away on her gray tide. Six years now, always just in sight, just where he can see her. He’s forgotten his first corpse, or when he first saw someone living die. That’s how long it’s been going on. Most of his life, it seems. The city he visits nowadays is Death’s antechamber: where all the paperwork’s done, the contracts signed, the days numbered. Nothing of the grand, garden, adventurous capital his childhood knew. He’s become the Dour Young Man of “The White Visitation,” the spider hitching together his web of numbers. It’s…
