Here i am, locked away in a gloomy dungeon, only a small portion of light filtering from above, please help. Wondering how this mess got started? well i'll tell you...
The night was dark and cold, the wind bit my face like a knife, I was going to run away, I was really going to do it. The trees swayed at my approach. I could turn back now couldn't I? but a voice inside my head told me to go on. I disappeared into the forest, nobody could come and help me if I run into the face of danger but that didn't stop me. I clambered into a hole and my eyes fell down and I drifted into a slumber.
I was soon woken by the roaring of the wind and the strike of lightning, a storm had arrived and I had no shelter to hide from it. My pathway had long gone in the spitting rain so there was no hope in turning back now. Then I thought struck me, did I really want to go back? to that awful orphanage with the pesky kids and the putrid maid, Bettie, I wanted to leave didn't I?
after considering whether to find a way back or to go on, I decided to find my way through the thick dark trees by the light of the pale moon, but after seconds of slithering my way through the crumpled leaves and twigs scattered across the ground, I was suddenly pulled into a slimy swamp into the depths below by a long, green slimy hand. gasping for breath with empty lungs, I looked around, all was a murky grey, until I spotted about a thousand white teeth snapping at my direction. when I realised what it was; a shark. my eyes grew wide, how could I survive that killer? helplessly I tried to swim away from it, but it was too fast.
this would be the end, after living in the orphanage with the worst life you could ask for, no happy memories, and now I was going to die. I closed my eyes and got ready for the last second would live.
the split second after that I was hurled out of the water and back onto the muddy ground, what was shocked by this, but after getting my breath back and deciding what to do now I heard a voice beside me say "go."
I didn't have to hear it twice. I zoomed through the trees as fast as I could, panting and aching all over as I came into the clearing. I saw the sunset as I got to the top of a near by hill, and after reaching the top I clasped from running all the way up hear, as I rifted of into my dream I could help wondering inside my head who had saved my from being ripped apart limb to limb, and I might never know.
the end!!! (for now....)
