The Abyss-Unknown
The Abyss - Unknown
Death. It is an odd thing, one moment you’re sitting in front of a desk pondering how to answer the question in front of you, the next extreme pain as if you’re entire body is being roasted alive. Then, well nothing. Just darkness, dull and boring. Those were the thoughts of the boy as he drifted in the abyss. His mortal coil no longer existence, only a dimly lit sphere in its place.
“I’m not sure what’s worse, exams or this...” he muttered inwardly, originally he hadn’t been so calm when he entered the abyss. With his death only moments before, he immediately struggled to breathe and move around as he screamed, the trauma from his death still raw in his memory. But after a while the now trapped soul he calmed down, only

Whilst letting out an inward sign, he turned his viewpoint from his pitiful existence to further examine the abyss. On first glance, one would assume that nothing existed in the void, but upon further inspection the boy found that there were other balls of light present within it. Slowly drifting, but much to his growing horror the boy discovered that these lights would be extinguished almost as soon as they came into existence. Dread filled his soul as he noticed his own sphere of light growing dimmer with each passing moment. He had already died, there was no knowing what came after death, only possibly oblivion. The light continued to fade, as his anxiety grew, he began to scream internally as he consciousness began to fade along with the light. Oblivious to the feeling of warmth, and the soft sounds that greeted him when it …show more content…
It’s the red building next to the Thatcher’s remember?” he said slowly, the anxiety clearly plastered across his face. The boy nodded hastily, understanding slowly dawning on his face before rushing outside. Robert looked at his child leaving with pride, at the age of ten the boy was the spitting image of him when he was at that age. Broad shouldered and tall even for his age. With raven dark hair, blue eyes and with a strong jawline. The boy was everything a man would want in a son and more, strong and fair. But without the temper or the temperament that usually followed it. The boy was as steadfast as a

    World War I was a devastating series of battles with extraordinary casualties. It was particularly demoralizing to the average soldier and a sense of hopelessness was not uncommon. Why then were the soldiers who fought during the Great War so motivated to continue fighting? How was their motivation different from that of the soldiers during the 30 Years War? To answer these questions you must look to the individual soldier and their reasons for fighting. During the 30 Years War religious unity was initially the key motivation. In Warwolf we see however that the peasants fought to preserve their way of life and mercenaries fought for material gain although the motivation of the leadership was religiously based. In Eye Deep in Hell by John Ellis we see a very different type of motivation for the individual soldier. These soldiers are initially inspired to fight because of patriotic duty and the good of their country. Horrific and deplorable conditions in the trenches as well as extraordinary casualties caused morale to plummet. The men really began fighting for their fellow soldiers. The adventurous activity of patrols in “no man’s land” kept up the offensive spirit. Patrolling “no man’s land” actually increased morale and drove the men to fight because it made them feel that they had the upper hand. They refused to allow the enemy to have the ability to fight. Keeping the enemy at bay enriched the solidarity of the group and strengthened their moral courage. Perhaps adventurous spirit and trust in god became secondary reasons for continuing their fight, but these men were really fighting in order to keep each other alive. Overall it was the preservation of the group and comradery which inspired the soldiers described in Eye Deep in Hell.…

    Hidden Soul Entry 1, A DARK PRISON There was darkness seeping from the corners like an ocean bursting from a dam. Light filled the passageway for a brief moment before being engulfed by the darkness. It was pulled back into sickly darkness that oddly behaved like a strange thick black oil, goop or tar. The darkness was very slowly moving down the corridor, but quickened its pace if a ray of light escaped.…

    It was in his last breaths that he realized what he was truly missing from his experience, people. In the end he contradicted all ideas he had before, and truly had a groundbreaking discovery. His epiphany made him realize how really important family and friends were.All the beauty he found, every skill he learned, and discoveries about himself he made didn’t matter, because he had no one to share it with. He wouldn’t have thought this way had he not gone on the journey. His hate for the dysfunctional relationship between his parents, and his secluded feeling would have kept him separated from his family mentally. The journey in which he was physically separated from his family made him learn how truly important they were. In the end he accepted who he was and called himself by his real…
