Creative Writing: Elie Wiesel's Last Night
My brother stormed into my tent. A thin line of dried blood layed over his left eye and all the way down his face “Gregor! He’s dead! Aswell, as BenJen!” I shot up, trying to act suprised. “What do you mean?” I asked sounding confused “I mean they where murdered last night. A man tried to kill me as well, but his face aws covered.” I tried to stop myself from smiling “I’ll come see momentairly.” Marak turned and walked out akwardly. So if it wasn’t obvious last night who the other competeors where, it is now. Benjen, Marak, Gregor, and myself. I grabbed clothes similar to what I wore last night. Black leather breeches, Black boots, a white silk shit, and a black jerkin with the golden rose and golden piercing knife on it.
