Descriptive Essay: Cranberry Pomegranate Juice
Thirsty I made my way towards the kitchen to pour myself a glass of Cranberry Pomegranate juice. Sitting around what’s left of the dining room table one of its hinges obliterated merely three table legs left as a support. A branch from the oak tree near the kitchen window kept tapping against the walls and windows as the wind blows. This branch at night when the murky moonlight blooms against the massive tree meticulously resemble an oversized man with a knife trying to break into the house. I often dreaded coming down the stairs for a cup of water or juice late at night when the lights were off. The terrified image and screeches sound on the window always send me scurrying right back to my room and ducking under the covers trembling for dear …show more content…
The thought of cutting the branch right off its hinge out of pure revenge for the times it’s pestered me pops in my head. “Revenge,” I bellowed out deciding to take action. My eagerness for revenge propels me to grab the chopper on the countertop near the table and surge through the kitchen door. This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve attempted to bring down my arch-antagonist, the imp tree I call it. Each time I mustered up the courage to face the oversize tree the infestation of wild animals taken refuge in the backyard threatens to unleash their own attack. In my hasty attempt for revenge, I trip over a footstool near the back door catapult face first into a pile of angry bees nest near the huge tree trunk. The collusion tosses me backward the chopper flew out my hand marginally missing a squirrel and disappearing within the feral backyard. There was little time to get my bearings as a cluster of bees launch their attack each one determined to strike my face, neck, and arm. I retreated jumping to my feet while trying desperately to get the derange bees away from me. I dive back into the kitchen, slamming the door behind me, in time to notice the herd of bees’ forming in clusters on the glass door. Inside I access the damage noticing I was stung once in the neck and on my cheeks narrowly missing my

    The night descended into a haunting quietude notwithstanding, as the tranquility was overwhelmed by the benign yet mournful screech of a night owl, perched on the lowly branch of an elm tree. It was perhaps the most idyllic night in a long, long while. It was the perfect night to die, and Ms. Brundidge couldn’t have been any prouder of her decision to let go, tonight.…

    As we approached the front porch we could feel the eerie chills in the air. We walked through the front door and at first everything seemed normal, but after we had all crossed that initial threshold of the front door the house had hold of us. The door slammed shut behind us and locked all on its own, we were trapped inside… We quickly started to panick, looking for an escape. As we were searching for an exit the strangest things started to happen. We would see shadowy figures turning around corners, just to find no one there, bugs seemed to appear out of nowhere then scurry away, the eyes on paintings seemed to follow us as we ran through the house, and lastly the noises, they came from somewhere deep within the house and had no explanation. Each experience slightly more terrifying than the last; it was almost as if the house could sense our fear and was feeding off of it… Eventually we all ended up succumbing to fear and we just crippled over and gave in, the house had won. All of the legends and horror stories we had always heard about the house were real, today we discovered that they were true. The house had won, it had claimed its newest souls and feasted on their fear until nothing was left but the bones of its…

    Throughout the course of our childhood, we have all been told frightening stories. Whether those stories were about “The Boogey Man” or “Bloody Mary” or even an original story, they all served one purpose, to frighten us into behaving. I really wish I had listened to my mother, I really wish I hadn’t tried to be the moron I was, if only I had experienced the slightest ounce of fear to prevent me from entering the woods, especially at night, when evil is said to be at its strongest.…

    The smallest doorway I ever stepped through was less than one inch high, and the gabled cottage surrounding it was only eight inches at the top of its peaked, shingled roof. Carved from a single piece of dark stained mahogany, the cottage was one of a pair of bookends belonging to my mother. If I gazed for a time at the intricate carving, I could view the cottage’s lead-paned windows at eye level, feel the rough leaves of shrubbery against my legs, and glance up at the dormer bedroom upstairs and the gable window far overhead. I could hear the wind shake the ivy against the side of the cottage, catch the tang of petunias blooming in the window box, sense the entry’s stone steps beneath my feet, as I reached out to open the latch and step inside.…

    “Fear is only as deep as the mind allows” -Japanese Proverb. After dinner was cleaned up I would take garbage outside. Usually, dinner was around the later afternoon or evening time, which means the sky was dark, and being that we lived in a forested area, even darker. Armed with my flashlight, I trudged out the back door around the house and scanned the area with the light in front of me. I had done this same task many times before, yet the sharp silence and shifting shadows that surrounded me built an apprehensive tension. Troubling thoughts suddenly emerged, my imagination running with a tumultuous delirium. I envisioned wolves would appear from the woods behind the house and hunt me down. My rampant thoughts soon incited me to hurry and quickly get back inside the house. Rushing to the trash cans I opened one with great haste. I dropped the bag into it, shutting it just as quickly as I had opened it. Promptly, I started…

    Walking further on the street, it started to get so cold. I was freezing and lost. The wind was blowing so hard. You could hear tree branches breaking and leaves moving about. I saw a sign that read Frenchmen Street. On Frenchmen Street the water was real low and a tree had fallen into someone’s home. My mothers always told me don’t go on Frenchmen Street because there were drug dealers and gang members, but I had no other choice. After crossing the tree, I walked down the street looking around. It was real quiet. You could only still hear the wind. Walking through the low water made me even colder. It was just too cold to walk in, so I sat on someone’s porch. The house was bordered up and said KEEP OUT across the door in bold print. I knew I shouldn’t have stayed there long but I had nowhere else to go. I got up and pushed on the door and it opened. When I peeped inside I didn’t hear or see anything. I walked in and left the door opened behind me. I walked in the kitchen to look for food I searched nearly everything from the refrigerator to drawers and cabinets. There was no luck for me. I walked in someone’s room to look around, but I saw a weird looking man on the floor…

    Standing up with two fingers dragging on the arm of the recliner, I carefully move toward the kitchen. One step from my chair, I stab in the dark with my other hand searching for the back of the couch. This was pretty common practice after a late night of watching TV, but this time was different. I could no longer see the flashing 12:00 from the microwave. The coffee maker on the end of the counter was not there. My eyes never adjusted to see the hue of the streetlight coming in the window. I was like a ship with no light house. There was nothing to mark my way or to judge distance by. I tried to estimate the number of steps that it might be to reach the doorway to my bedroom. It had to be at least eight. About halfway through step six this theory was shot out the window as my outstretched hand rammed into the door facing. Three more step and I should reach the corner bedpost and have the security of my bed to finish this trial. As I stepped through the doorway I was leaning forward with my right hand about waste level waving side to side in search of the big wooden knob of the bedpost. The next step would be one that I dearly regretted. In the visual image painted in my mind I did not realize that the dresser protruded so far into the center of the room. My left pinky toe made a popping noise as the pain reverberated…

    Sitting in the dark, watching miniature shadows creep by. These little beasts lurk in his room and become his only friends, he start talking to them, yelling at them, until they turned him mad! But then a breeze fortunately wakes you from his insanity, it makes him feel alive, the cold breeze awakens his senses. Suddenly he smells the shame brought upon himself. He feels the guilt weighing on his shoulders. He tasted the bitterness of his actions. He hears the screams over and over again until the images come back to haunt him again. As the gushes of wind crash against the building, he smell the freshly cut grass, he see the branches, the leaves,and tries to remember the taste of berries hanging of the tree. It was standing there outside his reach, the figure breathed slowly and continuously as the rocking head looked at him purposely, it started pointing straight at him, mocking him because he is free.…

    One Night I Was Walking..

    One late night I was walking and I looked up at the black sky. I was freezing cold; it felt like it was only 10 degrees outside. Well I guess that makes sense because it’s the middle of fall. I looked at my watch, it was about 10:06 pm, and I hadn't intended to be out this late I sort of just lost track of time. The sun had set, and there lies an empty road ahead that had no streetlights. My anxiety was through the roof once I realized I was in for a dark journey home. I had decided that by traveling through the forest would be the quickest way home. Minutes passed, yet it seemed like hours. The farther I traveled into the forest, the darker it seemed to get. It was very hard to even take a breath due to the stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening beat of my own heart, which felt as though it was about to come through my chest. In this kind of darkness I was in, it was hard for me to believe that I could be seeing these long finger shaped shadows that stretched out to me. I had this gut feeling as though something was following me, but I assured myself that I was the only one in the forest. At least I had hoped that I was.…

    I looked up the street at Mr Crawford’s house, the oldest house in our town. Rumours say that when the town got rebuilt Mr Crawford threatened the workers if they came near his house… but then you can’t always believe what you hear. I’ve never actually seen Mr Crawford but I imagine him as an old man, late 60’s, hunched over from spinal injuries and very, very skinny. Anyway, Mr Crawford’s house, it’s in horrible condition. The garden is overgrown with tangled branches of trees hiding the house, weeds spilling onto the pathway below, the green paint peeling of the brick walls of the house, the windows planked up and the creepiest part of the house is that the door never opens.…

    As I opened the door, I was startled to find darkness occupying our room as candles were lit on every corner of the room. A cold breeze from an opened window dashed passed my skin sending shivers down my spine as I took my first step into the room. Paused, standing by the door, curiosity filled my thoughts. What was happening? I pondered. I grabbed Josh’s hand and told him to check the room as I walked cowardly behind him. I was overwhelmed with fear.…
