Night of Terror
The night was dark. The sky was only lit by a full moon and a few faint stars. I was sitting quietly in my basement with my sister and two of our friends, Danny and Heather. We were all feeling rather bored. I came up with the idea to go get my Ouija board from my room. I told everyone, "I'll be back in a minute." I ran upstairs to my room, grabbed the Ouija board from under my bed, and quickly ran back down to the basement. I set the board up and got the oracle out. Everyone had this odd look on their face. They seemed a little hesitant about taking part in playing with the Ouija with me. I talked everyone into it and explained how to do everything.
I turned off all the lights and the television. Then, I lit a few candles around us. My Ouija board was glow-in-the-dark anyway though so everything was easy to see in the dark. All four of us put the tip of our hands on the oracle and moved it in three circles. I, then, asked "is there anyone with us?" The oracle quickly moved to "yes." This scared and surprised us. I continued to ask questions. I asked "what is your name?" The oracle slowly started to move. First, it moved to the "V". Then, it continued to move to other letters. It ended up spelling out "Vincent."
This seemed interesting to all of us. I kept asking more questions. Next, I asked, "do you want something?" The oracle started moving. It moved more quickly this time. It spelled out "help." This kind of scared me so I asked, "How do I help you?" The oracle spelled out "he's coming." We all sat there and looked at one another for a minute because we were scared. Then, we heard a really big bang come from this tiny coal room in my basement. We started freaking out. I told everyone to calm down. I asked "who is he?" The oracle started moving. We waited. It spelled out "run." This scared us, but we kept going. The oracle quickly moved to "goodbye." We got worried.
I asked again, "Is there anyone here with us?" The oracle moved even more quickly this

    Just past midnight, everyone in the house is in their slumber. “Billono, Michellono, and Okrama, we shall start our journey now.” I whispered. Through the underground tunnel we crawled; and right in front of the Gold house we landed. There standing keeping guard of the house was a hypnotized guard. Stepping forward, Okrama begins to pour out the respect he holds for the country and its “great” leader, Grump. Knowing Okrama means well, we were let free into the Gold House. It was Billono and I who were now depended on to find where the monster was in the arms of Morpheus. Over to the room keeper we went, scavengering for information. “ I am Billono, the god of intelligence. Only one question you can ask, I will provide an answer and recieve the key to Grumps room. Fair?” Billono firmly spoke to the keeper, in hopes of recieving the key. “Are Oranges named Oranges because Oranges are Orange? Or is Orange called Orange because Oranges are Orange?” Uttered the confused room keeper. Too smart for that my husband was, “ Place the key in my palm, only one question was allowed.” To the room they…

    Heart of Darkness

    • 681 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the book Heart of Darkness there are several aspects to imperialism. As Marlow travels from the Outer Station to the Central Station and finally up the river to the Inner Station, he encounters scenes of torture, cruelty, and near-slavery. At the very least, the incidental scenery of the book offers a harsh picture of colonial enterprise. The impetus behind Marlow's adventures, too, has to do with the hypocrisy inherent in the rhetoric used to justify imperialism. The men who work for the Company describe what they do as "trade," and their treatment of native Africans is part of a benevolent project of "civilization." Kurtz, on the other hand, is open about the fact that he does not trade but rather takes ivory by force, and he describes his own treatment of the natives with the words "suppression" and "extermination": he does not hide the fact that he rules through violence and intimidation. His perverse honesty leads to his downfall, as his success threatens to expose the evil practices behind European activity in Africa. However, for Marlow as much as for Kurtz or for the Company, Africans in this book are mostly objects: Marlow refers to his helmsman as a piece of machinery, and Kurtz's African mistress is at best a piece of statuary. It can be argued that Heart of Darkness participates in an oppression of nonwhites that is much more sinister and much harder to remedy than the open abuses of Kurtz or the Company's men."Everything belonged…

    Reign of Terror is the period of the French revolution since September 5, 1793, to July 27 1794. It was a civil and a foreign war, where the government decided to terrify the people of France, and to take harsh consequences against those who were against the revolution, like the nobles and priests. The government forced terror in the hearts of the French. Approximately 40,000 people die during the Terror. About 15% were the nobles and clergy. Another 15% were the middle class. The rest were peasants. The brain of the terror is the Guillotine. It was blade, which dropped fast, and the victim would not feel pain. Dr. Joseph Guillotine created the Guillotine, and it quickly became a symbol of horror in the Reign of Terror. Another method used in the period of Terror was The Breaking Wheel. The Breaking wheel was the famous execution before the Guillotine. The Breaking Wheel was a torture device where they attach a person to the wheel and rotate the wheel were his bones break and the person gets dehydrated. Drowning was also a method used in the French Revolution. Jean-Baptiste Carrier put his victims into vessels with trapdoors for bottoms and to sink them in the Loire River.…

    A mere twenty minutes later, I was exhausted. The sun had burst through the clouds and was basking the mountainside in violent light. I was roasting in the safety of my outer shell. As my once confident steps became desperate shuffles, I began to understand that my end was near. But I had a goal to achieve, and so I fought to deny what I knew to be true. Soon, I fell back and separated from the group. It was then that the guide made his move. He swooped down on me, looked me in the eye, and told me it was…

    I woke up in the middle of the night to a whistling sound. I sat up and looked around, it was 2:00 in the morning. Suddenly, a book fell off of a nearby shelf all by itself. I quickly got up and went to find Viviane. It appears she is having the same ghostly experiences that I had. We wanted to get out of this creepy house, so we ran to the verandah. When we got there we saw a strand of beads hanging on the railing. I snatched them up and they began to glow. All of the sudden, we were both picked up by two ghosts, that were both women. They hovered in the air for a minute then took off, carrying us through the skies. We came to what looked like another plantation, and they dropped us in a grass clearing, and disappeared. We were so tired; we lay down and fell asleep before we could explore our new…
