the apocalypse
I opened my eyes to see the sun glistening in through my tent I looked across the tent to the door and peaked outside. The wind was calmly sweeping across the tips of trees and the daisies were swaying side to side like a boat on the ruff sea. It was quiet and felt different to normal. I felt alone. Like it was me and the earth.
I walked around looking about for people, gazing through windows, watching the condensation slowly melt into liquid. House after house, no one. I was on Brewers lane when I heard a slight whisper “over here” I scanned the area, the area where only yesterday me and my mates were chilling, I took another glance. Stood there is the mist was my best mate Jonah. He was shocked at seeing me, shocked that I’ve been walking about the streets fine and haven’t encountered any of them things. “Haven’t you seen any things”. My heart thudded. “What things”. I knew at that point we were in something big together, I couldn’t lose him, and we’ve been best mates since first school. As I said that I saw a dark staggered shadow move across the back of the churchyard. It moved with such jolt, I instantly panicked and froze on the spot. It was like something out of the movies, like something that shouldn’t be real. Like something that couldn’t be real.
Me and Jonah went to explore the churchyard to see what this was, as it was the only life we have seen today. We opened the gates the hinges squealed as we pushed to gate to. We stumbled down the pathway, legs like jelly, a place that would normally be so calm, was now so terrifying. I felt the bitter saltiness of the sweat that dripped down from my forehead rolled over me eyebrow down my cheek and dribbled into my mouth. The gargoyles on the church seemed as if they were real and were about to pounce on you. Every gravestone glistened; it was as if all the people buried were stood up like an army in formation replacing the gravestones. All the flowers were dead and rotting, there was no colour in sight.

    As she walking to class, something caught her attention, the shore outside. She went outside, they were allowed to go outside without permission. She walked outside and she could feel the breeze going towards her and she could feel the warmness of the sun reflecting on top of her head. She saw how the waves were moving in a steady motion and it splashing on top of the soft sand. She could hear the palm trees moving gently.…

    The wind howled around me like a pack of starving wolves as I entered the cemeteries rusty iron gates. Yet it seemed so wild and chaotic that it reminded me of home, so it didn’t bother me at all, I was used to it. My brother’s headstone was only a ten minute walk away so I let myself drink in the moonlight and the memories the cemetery held. I remembered the first time I went there with my mother, just after Jason died... She led me down the now familiar mud track past the eerie, dancing trees, to the spot she planned on burying him. And it wasn’t until I was standing in front of the headstone that I realized he was gone ; that was the first time I truly cried. I slowly walked down the pebbly path and admired the cherry blossoms that were flourishing around the graveyard. It was a cold Aprils night and it was going to be dark soon.…

    You stumble across a cemetery and impulsively decide to take look around. Once you step inside, you immediately notice hundreds of tombstones scattered around. You take a long breath and move tentatively around knowing you have walked into the valley of death surrounded by silent souls. You look around and see the hollow eyes of death, smell the coldness of death, and hear the silent whispers of death. Tombstone after tombstone you wonder if that woman had a sister, what that young boy died from, what the old man did for a living, or why that young girl deserved to die. Tombstone after tombstone you suffocate in sorrow. Tombstone after tombstone you decide to maneuver your way out of the cemetery, but the smell of death sticks to your skin…

    My visit to the cemetery was very interesting. When I first read the assignment sheet, I didn’t want to visit the cemetery. I thought it was scary to visit a stranger; it turned out to be very fascinating. When I got to Kewanee Cemetery I got the goosebumps all over my body; six crows following me around, watching every step I took. After a while, I was more intrigued about the headstones that I even forgot about the crows. I was curious about their lives and how they might of live in a time of war, but even though, none of them inspired me to write about anything, into I got across Edward Tunnicliff headstone.…

    Colors around me looked as though they had been turned up. Shapes and patterns appeared in the leaves of the trees and in the details of everything around me. I looked back at my friend and she smiled at me knowing I could see what she saw. Our worlds were the same. I was hovering inches above my normal body. Everything, yet nothing was possible. Life was so clear, yet I was more confused than I’d ever been. I was in the state of waking up where you have to remind yourself that it had only been a dream, except I was still uncertain about that.…

    The rain fell down like tiny stones onto my head, it was only a light shower at the moment, but as I recall the weather reporter said there would be an intensive storm soon. That jogged my memory, I should get home quick before it gets any worse. As I was walking through the woods, sticking to my normal path, it hit me that the weather today has been awful, there was this heavy fog that prevented me seeing any further than 10 meters. It doesn't bother my though because I know these woods like the back of my hand. I was walking at a rather fast pace now, I could hear my heart beating, and felt the icy winds fill my lungs, as I was walking down the rocky path I could have sworn I saw someone else or something out of the corner of my eye. I stopped for a second, scanning the area. But nothing appeared, I began walking again, at a more hurried pace this time, the rain was getting heavier, as the icy cold water hit my skin it sent shivers down my spine. But all of a sudden I could have sworn I saw something, some one, I stopped to survey the area one last time. As I turned around on the edge of the fog a dark silhouette appeared, it looked like someone, so shouted out to them expecting a response. But got nothing, I shouted again louder this time, so loud not a soul couldn't have heard. I got a response, I saw the figure move, one step, no two steps closer, my heart was pumping hard against my rib cab, then the figure looked up, and through the fog I saw two bright red eyes... staring directly at me...…

    End of the World

    A doomsday event is a specific, plausibly verifiable or hypothetical occurrence which has an exceptionally destructive effect on the human race. The final outcomes of doomsday events may range from a major disruption of human civilization, the extinction of humanity, the extinction of all life on the planet Earth, the destruction of the planet Earth, the annihilation of the Solar system, to the annihilation of our galaxy or even the entire universe. Even though the term “doomsday” is taken from Christian eschatology referring to the Last Judgment, the term “doomsday event” as used here refers to alleged realistic dangers from natural or man-made causes, to be distinguished from catastrophic events in religious eschatology understood as an act of divine retribution or unalterable fate.…

    The Second Coming

    • 302 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats, obedience is required for a society to function. If there were no structure or order in the world, nothing would exist and the foundation of society will collapse. If society is nonexistence, people will act only in their self-interest and without rules or regulations there will be chaos. In the first stanza, the poem describes the falcon as mankind and how mankind has move so far away from its roots and it can no longer call out to its creators. For that reason, mankind has lost touch and communication with its keeper. Reasons were also lost, all there’s left is the sins that has been sinned, the innocence drowned and what’s left is the lack of conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity. The poem also described how the fallen anarchy has loosened the world and it’s Centre which can no longer hold. The lost of anarchy has created a lack of obedience and authority. The world is going through a mess and everything that used to hold its place has now lost its virtue and values. The purpose of beliefs, ideas, and priorities were also lost and can no longer be regained. Everything has fallen into a bottomless pit black hole. Also, in the second stanza, the poem focuses on the vast image of Spiritus Mundi. It is a shape with lion body and the head of a man, a gaze blink and pitiless as the sun also represent the true form of mankind. Normally lions are dangerous to humans. They symbolize pride and power. Mankind has shape shifted and has became the powerful and aggressive beast because the dignity of mankind is lost and what’s left is the deliberate caused of terminal damages in…

I wrote dozens of emails and finally 4 weeks ago received an email that they would investigate it. I have never heard from them since despite the many other emial I have sent them. They are a rip-off company may other victims have complained about the same problem.
