Stranded

Edith

The dark tower was as horrible as I imagined, the stairs made creaked with every step I took. The windows were streaked with cobwebs, the floorboards were dusty and broken in random spots.

The witches claws

made the monsters paws

They were made to harm

yet were originally for the farm

The land was barren and deserted, no physical sign of life for miles. The scorching hot sun smiled down on the man. The sand felt like hot coals every time he stepped in it. So hot that the soles of his shoes had burned away. His skin was gummy and red due to the sun, his scrawny hat doing little to block it....

Once I was able to touch.

Now I can’t do much.

It was a dump, cars laid astray destroyed and broken—flat tires, and random parts were spread out all over the car graveyard.” Dante, who was our self-appointed storyteller—paused for effect, before starting again ominously.

“ Machines and contraptions made out of spare parts, also were spread out around the forest clearing. Some of the machiner...

I stumbled through the forest in a frenzy. I could barely breathe, my heart felt as if it were to explode. Every time I exhaled, I could feel the sword poking through me—like a kebab. The wound was sharp and tender, the pain was unbearable. I staggered through the woods, holding my chest in pain.

There is no way i’ll make it out of here…

The thought bubbled up—just before it popped, f...

My hear felt heavy with burdens, as I studied our predicament—Marooned on a island, dust and rocks being its only sign life as ever existed here.

The betrayal of our comrades left a hole in my heart, a deep wound.

The floorboards creaked with uncertainty and unknown horrors, as I made a quiet descent in the house. My heart felt like it was going to burst, I found myself often jumping from unexpected noises.

Why was I here?

The question bubbled and squeaked in my head just before it popped. Filling me to the brim with thread.
