A Vampire story I wrote

It was night,the mischievous man shoot glare at me, his skin was white chalk, he was at the other side of the empty shallow viewing space, although it felt as though he was right beside me that’s when I dropped my brooms handle and saw the blood thirsty razor sharp fangs seeping out of his rose red mouth!!!

It had been 5 hours since I had first started my shift for the day I started at 4:30 in the afternoon, you should be able to guess what time it is now.

I had just finished cleaning the theatre and all the seats and floor/carpet till it was clean as new, it was dark and cold in there, it was a horrible place to work, but I was the only person in the whole theatre; well at least that’s what I thought…

There was a creek in the floor as I walked over it, it was a sharp “creek!”

It would give me a fright every time I made a step; I leaned over the chair to pick up a bit of spilled popcorn but then I heard another creek; but this time it wasn’t mine because I had been completely still, I turned around and saw the freezing cold emotionless face staring straight at me; my whole life was just about to get chucked on it’s face…

The horrifying thing had just woke up from it’s slumber in it’s coffin and was now a blood-thirsty predator it was… The Vampire!

A day before he had to go to work he had lost a coin, The vampire took a coin and threw it at Dillan, but this was no ordinary coin, it was the exact same as the one he had lost; this was it! Dillan had been arguing with his boss about his payment he was talking to his boss about getting a payrise,

His boss’s reply was you’ll get your money, he had said this in a mysterious and unsure voice.

The vampire had a smirk on it’s face and said the thought changing words of…

To be continued…!

What makes me, well... me!!!!

The Eagle poem from Oral assesment

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;

Close to the sun in lonely lands,

Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

He soars through the crisp breeze;

one of his glances will make the people freeze,

his prey is everything he sees...

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt he falls.

War writing, The piano

The man was sitting there at his emotional place,

His eyes set on the keys of the piano,when the war veteran from 1939-1945 (WW2) wanted to drift into his memories the piano was his way back,it was also the switch to his remembrances  flowing out like an endless stream of emotions going into the abyss of sadness.

He lived in an old but spacious house in Paris France, he was 87 years old and had gone through alot in his life.

The old man that was once just a normal young boy had started as soon as he was old enough to be forced into going to the war and being harshly trained.

His childhood was indeed nothing like ours, for one he had an environment that was lonely and sad, he was a quiet and lonely innocent little boy, his little house he used to live in was located in a suburban area, this meant that he didn’t have much friends to play with or even in a small amount of distance from his house.

But the thing is that if he had people his age around it would probably make no difference, due to his anti-social attitude.

He had started his hard and long journey which went like this…

“Hurry up!” This was the sound of the army trainer shouting at the training soldiers for war; which was not a pretty experience.

After the soldiers had been trained and were ready to go to war they were chucked on a ship towards the battlefield/area where if they are lucky they will survive and make it back home to their families and children or…

They will die seeing that they have served their country and the war is not over and peace has not yet been made.

All those lives lost they all once had passions like the piano, we will remember them lest we forget!

 

War helmet writing

As I look at the helmet I found on Flanders fields, It reminds me of how the person wearing it would have felt, It was an old war helmet which had the poppy red medic cross on the sides which were painted on.

It would have belonged to one of the war nurses, it was camouflage green despite that very important emblem.

Those soldiers would have shouted as they fell “ Help I’m injured!”

It was worn out and damaged due to the shots of destruction and rubble that had been fired at it, it would have been on the head of that heroic medic, which would have ran to help the injured soldiers as they fell to the ground with a sudden clash of their armor hitting the ground and lying still.

It was not much of protection because it was just a mould of heavy and sluggish metal, but it was enough to slow down and attempt to block a bullet or piece of deadly shrapnel which would lead to the life of a loyal soldier who fought for his country!
