The sun beamed upon my face, my gaze was looked onto the cloudless sky, a shining blue that could allow me to feed off its tranquillity and calmness. As I stood there, I looked ahead on the path I was about to take. As I was walking down the surprising deserted street, attentive of the noise surrounding me; the cries of the Apollo’s dark-wind messenger stretched through the sky, gossiping of all it had seen.
As I strolled pass the creamy-yellow painted, wrought-iron gates, under me was a concrete pathway stretching and defining the parks orbicular shape. Over to my right I saw a children's playground; with a sandpit, swings and roundabouts all communing and reminiscing of the past when they were used their full extent by a myriad of squealing

I turned to see an eerie figure running after us with haste. It occurred to me that I was alone, I looked forward to see her running away, I tried to reach her but every step was the same as walking in quicksand, with every step my feet was being pulled down towards the ground regardless of the heavy-load I now seemed to carry I towered through and reached the near-by bridged, however, I was to slow. An umbra shadow loamed over me, like a newborn baby I was lifted off the ground, where had all that weight gone, he moved closer and closer towards the bridge and dropped me… back to darkness I returned. The light pierced me and I woke up to find myself lying on the floor, with my sister crying beside me; I laid there as still as a doll not moving a finger or to acknowledge that I was awake, in my mind my whole life flushed pass me : my aspirations, my victories and my defeats. Then it came…
Like in I my dream the crow’s cry cut through my thoughts to bring me back to reality. Its call was more aggressive then I was before, hastier. In the background I heard a silence sound quickly becoming louder and louder until the deafening call of the ambulance passed by on my right I watch it until it entered my street. I started running, my shoes turned into the winged boots of Hermes, as I ran I was hoping, praying, wishing that I was not going where I thought I might have being. To my dismay I met it at my house. I stopped and took in the sight and rushed through the front

    You have been warned! Dusk was creeping away in the horizon leaving a fresh wound smeared across the face of the sky. Decayed marshes emanated a sour scent; forming a revolting tempest in my nostrils that cascaded like shattered glass through my windpipe. A foreboding aurora dissipated every ounce of bravery in my heart and displaced it with an unprecedented trepidation.…

    Running in the forest as fast as she could; as she was tired of running, she tripped on a log and fell on her arm. She was tired, and out of breath; she wanted to give up. As she got up, holding her arm, she looked behind her and saw it. A tall, dark shadow that was moving towards her. She began to become paralyzed, and very still.…

    As I walk I look up into the bruised sky, it’s dotted with greyish clouds; I have the sudden urge to clear them away to see nothing but the flares of the celestial sun casting a dreamy haze upon the sky, announcing the arrival of twilight. I can’t hear crickets- I didn’t expect to, though I guess it…

    Days went by and the weather was an accurate reflection of our low spiritedness. Lightening ripped through the sky, and tears fell so fast from the faces of my loved ones; it was hard to distinguish them from the heavy rain. Relatives of mine would visit and show remorse towards my mother. She looked like death and she didn’t care. It was a state of depression she couldn’t see herself through. To those around me my feelings seemed frivolous and so I would sit by the window and observe the birds that flew way above. Slowly I shut my eyes and I could see him. He had come back into my life, but only for a second, until I opened my eyes and saw it was all just a lie. I go to sleep and I know he will be there, but I don’t want to wake up because he will disappear again. All I wanted was for someone to tell me that he was ok and I had nothing to worry about. Nobody ever did. I would saunter for 3 miles…

    I remember how brightly the moon shone the night before they arrived. I sat with Tamas and our youngest boy Isha, who was eleven, while he ate the fish he had humbly caught that morning. He told us of an ugly, black bird that had startled him when it land on the rocks while fishing. I didn’t think much of it until he told his father how scary the sound that came from it was. At that moment I knew something unfortunate was upon us. Tamas and I exchanged a look of worry as Isha described the crow he had encounter with. We had both been raised under the theory that the sight of a crow meant death, and it had proved on more than one occasion to be true. However, we kept our concerned thoughts to ourselves while in the presence of our little fisherman. Over the next few months our worries became reality.…

    “I ran into my friend’s bedroom, opened the window as wide as it would go and jumped out. Luckily for me my friend lived on the ground floor. I ran across a wooded area toward a bridge. I could feel my heart starting to beat faster and faster. I heard voices telling me I was going to have a heart attack and die.…

    The cool autumn air seeps in through the open window of our small cottage, letting it wash over me I sit and question what exactly had happened. The war was certainly terrifying but that dark shadow thing that lurked in my...dream? It was more terrifying than the horrors that I witnessed. It was so cold I felt it in my bones, the power felt as though it could tear my skin off. I tare off my thick blankets and checked my ankles to see them bleeding. Swearing softly I hobbled over to the small kitchen and tore up one of the rags and cleaned my wounds.…

    My rod was perched on a branch while I took a small break to check on my bait. Then in the corner of my eye I saw a child, no more than 8 years old, playing by the river. This was no time for someone this young to be all alone, so I decided to speak to him. I proceeded to the boy when suddenly I halted. My sixth sense echoed for me to stop, a mere 10 seconds passed when I pondered over why I had stopped. I was surprised at the abrupt change of weather, my body became surrounded by a ‘cold’ darkness and colds descended from heaven to earth. My body was shaking as a chill swam up my back tickling my hairs. A large figure advanced towards William, a monster, it had to be. Its feet pounded the ground as the innocent boy turned around. The minutes that followed were ones I could never forget… They exchanged a small conversion when the monster like object screamed “ You are related to Victor, you shall not survive”. The boy was picked up then he cascaded to the floor, life slowly exited him while I ran in fear”.…

    As I walked through the bleak building, a devious feeling set in, a feeling that writhed in the back of my head, then I heard the sounds of a shrewd creature, or person, lurking behind me. I slowly turned around, and once I saw it, a mollified aura flowed down my body, from my highest hair, to the tip of my toes.…

    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...…

    My feet ghosted upon the forest floor as I flew through between the trees. I could feel the governor’s men chasing me; the sound of my heartbeat filled my ears, adrenaline pumping like ice in my veins, my instincts screaming at me to kill. Anger filled my body like blood. I began slowing down, wanting them to get close so I could put them all into an eternal sleep.…

    I awoke that day to the sounds of men yelling and whips cracking, people screaming and chains rattling. I had no idea where I was. Though I had a splitting headache, I could tell I was moving, on something like a stretcher. I opened my eyes slightly, and saw that I was being carried by some men who appeared to be Fulani, along some sort of beach. I assumed I was on the coast, for when I glanced toward the sea it appeared to go on until it met the horizon.…

    The click of my heels on the exhausted cobbled path echoed into the distance. This was my meeting point. I was stood on George Street, just south of the town centre, waiting for him to arrive. My eyes winced for a sign of him as increasingly light became sparse. Only an old street lamp could shield me now, its thin rays fighting to reach my eyes, though falling to penetrate the overwhelming darkness.…

    Thinking nothing about it we proceeded with the conversations and laughter. But in a few short moments the laughter suddenly stopped and turned directly into frantic shouts. The guard rail crunched as we barreled straight through it and over the edge of the bridge. So many thoughts raced through my mind in that short time of the fall, but I remember what I saw when I opened my eyes…black. I felt dizzy and helpless, until I noticed that I was the lucky one. I quickly ran to the crushed car to check on my friends, who had not been thrown from the vehicle. As I got to the car, the doors were crushed shut and my only option was to break the window in a last attempt effort to save my friends. As I got one friend out I carried him up the side to the highway. As I got to the top, a vehicle slowed to a stop as he saw were in trouble and covered with blood. I handed my friend off to the good Samaritan and franticly got back down to the car. As the sirens and lights filled the night sky I pulled my other friend out of what was left of the car. As I got him on the ground, I was met by the rescue team sent to help us. They helped me up the side of the bridge and to the ambulance. As the paramedics pulled the body bags over my friends faces, the…

    Jolts of pain ran throughout my entire body, blood clumped my wirehaired coat and pooled around my body. Tasting the metallic blood trickling down my cracked lips made me cringe. In between my teeth, I felt pieces of human flesh stuck, but that was the least of my worries. Urges to scream came, but when I opened my mouth, no sound was able to come out. The trees rustled in the wind and the wind howled. I could hear the faint laughs and joy coming from the castle, but was too weak to care. Images of my family appeared in the darkness, making me disappointed in myself and I whispered, “ I did this for you” into the empty air. I continued to watch the night sky until the numbness overtook my body and I shut my eyes. As I slowly fell into eternal sleep, I wondered if tomorrow I would be remembered as a hero or a…
