Some time has passed and it was almost time for Proserpina to return to the underworld with Pluto. Ceres was trying to make the best of the little time she had with her daughter, but she recently fell ill due to weather conditions. Every morning they would sit down at the table and take about what they had planned for today and then they would go out into the garden and plant/pick out what they needed. But this morning the storm had not blown over, so they couldn't do anything. Proserpina came inside she had just gather all the animals into shelter from the storm.
" Hello, mother I thought you would still be in bed."

When Proserpina returned to the bush where all of this started the flowers were dead, and wet full of rain. The clouds only grew darker and darker. Proserpina started to dig and dig at the plants hoping that it would open up into the underworld where her mother was. Proserpina just ran deeper into the woods pulling out plants and crying out to Pluto and her mother. Proserpina was all muddy and ran out of breath, so she sat by a tree and took a breath. Proserpina looked up and didn’t even realize it, but she was lost. Proserpina never been on these sides of the wood and it was so cold and darkness was falling all over her. She could faintly make out some of her foot prints that didn’t get washed up by the rain. She tried to follow them but as time passed it they became harder and harder to make out But to her luck she found an old abandon cottage.

    She dreamed that she was running from the river, but the water kept catching up to her and pulling her under. It was so real that she could feel the water burning her nostrils and filling her ears and lungs. As she fought against the rising water, a giant eagle suddenly scooped her up out of the water. In its talons, she hung as limp as a rag doll. The tree tops, brushed against her body, tearing at her flesh and her clothes as he flew- Suddenly, he dove downward and she thought that he might land, but then he flew upward, higher and higher into the sky he went, carrying her along with…

    Her blouse was gone, replaced by a simple black dress. As soon as she got up to look around, she noticed that the environment around her was entirely different than that of the drive-in restuarant or her house. The sky was black, encompassed by large glowing rings of what looked to be ancient texts, and on its horizon was a rather large-looking moon. Connie felt oddly calm in this place, the red grass contrasted nicely with the dark sky. As she scanned her surrounding she found a path leading down.…

I moved with Hermes’ haste and arrived at the seaside. There was no sign or trace of Proserpina, and the maidens had no knowledge where she might have gone.

    Momaday, it seems, is writing this story for people who have also lost relatives. He seems to be relating to those who have gone through similar situations. The story takes on a depressing tone, as is usually associated with death, when he begins to describe the land in the first few paragraphs. You get a sense of loneliness when he describes the terrain because it is barren and desolate. This could be because he himself feels loneliness due to the loss of his grandmother. This point could be linked to the reason that he’s writing. Is he writing this to relate to others who have been through similar situations because he is lonely? It would seem so.…

    As soon as she pulled onto the highway, the lightning flashed across the sky and she knew it would start raining soon. Ruth was unfamiliar with the curvy roads, and slowed down when the rain started forming a lake on the road in front of her, making it difficult for her to see the lines on the highway. Dark clouds hung slightly above the road and the sounds of rain beating against the car bothered her. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have chosen this day to ghost hunting,” she said as the inside windows fogged over, turning on the defroster she calmed down and sang along with the radio.…

    As I leapt from the window of the dreaded vessel, I vowed I would never be privileged to see the sun as it rose anew. I thought of the past. I pictured my creator and I admired the picture of my fated self-destruction. Death did not scare me. How could it possibly when I already embodied the anatomy of a corpse so fully? Yes, this would be enough for me. To expire upon the diamond plains with the northern waves buried below me was the moonlit future I longed most for. My life had been altogether exhausted of breath and I, its humble advocate, was thoroughly depleted of any remaining will to gratify its pleas of invitation into the world that had so quickly recoiled from my hideous stature. This was to be how it ended. I had now outlasted the only identity that had ever attended to my entity at all. How could one conceivably carry on their everyday occupations without a single remaining acquaintance in the uncut span of the world? I longed for animation’s kiss of farewell as I departed forever from the hatred and confinement of this world. I advanced upwards along an icecap I had recently encountered as I continued my journey into death’s grip of acceptance. I knew full well I would not be missed. Not a soul among me had even granted me the gift or humanity of identity. I walked, nameless, among the masses of earth’s vast expanses. I was unknown, unneeded, and utterly and undeniably alone. As I neared my final resting place, a thought passed through me: What if instead of ended my existence in darkness and solitude, I exerted forth a flame to carry me on past this life? And thus was decided my fate would be that of eternal fire, for darkness was all I had ever been entreated to know of. Reaching the apex of the mountain, I removed my flint and steel from my right waistcoat pocket and struck the two together with such force that I did not know if the rocks would remain intact to themselves. When no spark ignited, I grew impatient and enraged. I must be the only being…

    1 Many slept on deck Because of the day’s heat Or to watch a sunset They would never see again – Stretched out on blankets and pillows Against cabins and rails: Shirtless, in shorts, barefooted, Themselves a landscape Of milk-white flesh On a scoured and polished deck. Voices left their caves And silence fell from its shackles, Memories strayed From behind sunken eyes To look for shorelines – Peaks of mountains and green rivers That shared their secrets With storms and exiles.…
