We had English class on Halloween and when we walked in we were asked to set the scene of a creepy/scary setting. Basically a Halloween setting.

A sea of sheer darkness engulfed me entirely as I anxiously strode the desolate dirt trail. The comfort of a sole source of light I was unafforded. I could sense cold, lifeless eyes piercing me, dormant souls shadowing my steps. This place loomed of despair and sorrow. Blackened, twisting trees hung low overhead, skeletons of their former selves. They pleaded the journeyer recant his thoughts of entering and turn back immediately. Stone sentinels which foretold of death lined the path.

A dense fog wetted the back of my neck like the breath of a hideous monster right behind me waiting to strike. My cold, silent breaths were the single signs of life I could detect. I was shivering, from cold or fear I do not know. Minute whispers of wind bit my skin. The dead grass, consumed by frost, crinkled and snapped under my cautious stride. The frozen ground I walked upon was hard and uninviting, not unlike anything else in this lifeless pit. Each second was an eternity, and each step an infinite universe apart. All my senses were irrelevant and nothing was apparent to me. My sole objective was to escape this wretched place.


So, what do you think? Wrote this in about 15 minutes in English class.
