He ran and ran and held on to the frame of the door. He could not hold on and he fell in. All was dark. Pitch black. Not a light in the sky. He thought “how can anything live under these bleak conditions?” Suddenly he heard a faint cat like noise then saw a bright light advancing toward him at an alarming rate.

My favourite author is William Shakespeare‚ a man who has written enough for immortality. Though a few hundred years have elapsed since the death of Shakespeare and volumes have been written on the life and work of this great writer‚ his early life still remains a subject for speculation and conjecture. It is generally believed that Shakespeare had very little schooling. Yet his keen intellect and mastery of language have earned for him the appreciation and applause of the literary world.
