Scary Story I looked up at the black sky. I hadn't intended to be out this late. The sun had set, and the empty road ahead had no streetlights. I knew I was in for a dark journey home. I had decided that by traveling through the forest would be the quickest way home. Minutes passed, yet it seemed like hours and days. The farther I traveled into the forest, the darker it seemed to get. I was very had to even take a breath due to the stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening beat of my own heart, which felt as though it was about to come through my chest. I began to whistled to take my mind off the eerie noises I was hearing. In this kind of darkness I was in, it was hard for me to believe that I could be …show more content…
I took a glance around and found myself looking right into a pair of dark, glassy eyes peering at me through the bushes. I knew I was not seeing things at that moment. Were those the evil eyes of a goblin lurking waiting for it’s next meal? My breath became too rapid for me to be able to whistle. I took a big gulp and decided to step on it and quicken my pace. I would never get home at this rate. The same moment I decided to quicken my speed, a deer burst through the night. I screamed, stumbled and hit the ground with a loud thump. I sat on the moist ground for a moment to try to recover but my heart began to throb as if it was beating within my throat. It was just a deer I told myself, I had to be brave. Trying to get myself together I began to feel this hot puffs of air on the back of my neck. “It’s the goblin!” I screamed as I rapidly rose to my feet. My head spun like an owl as I went to look for what was behind me. I looked to the ground and discovered a little white dog. “You scared me to death little guy. What is a cute little puppy like you doing in a dense forest like this?” I said to him. I was relieved it was only a dog instead of the ghastly goblin, but I only made it half-way home by then. As I proceeded on the white little dog followed me. I felt more at ease now that I had him following me but he would not be considered much of a watch dog to most
With eyes closed I stand alone, in the dark I smell the sweet scent of fresh-cut grass and feel the soft dirt under my feet. I feel the sunshine on my skin, though I cannot see it. I stand in this blissful moment until I hear a call. Desperation and panic fill the air as I blindly run towards the unknown voice. “HELP ME!” it shouts. I stumble over a log; I can feel the blood trickle down my leg. “HELP ME” another voice shouts. Gradually more and more voices call out for help tugging at my heart. I try to bury myself in my hands and collapse into the soft earth. I jump back in surprise as a cold hand gently traces my face. Tears spill out of my eyes allowing them to open; I look up and see a woman. She wears all black and has a veil over her
The last sounds I recall hearing were three deafening bangs, and one boom. I remember spinning rapidly through what seemed like a never-ending hole of eerie darkness. My sassy, independent self was frightened, so I closed my eyes and prayed that I would live to see the next day. I eventually gained the courage to open my eyes, and continued to lie numb on the street, utterly confused. I kept wondering where I was, and even what day it was. I cautiously stood up as the cold drizzle continued to pour down all around me, collecting in crevices across the long, cobblestone street. I glanced down at my clothes, and saw they were destroyed by mud that had been splattered by passing horses. I continued to survey my surroundings , and that is when
Have you scared someone so bad and thought of what could have had happened to you? Scaring a person is bad, although I have someone before. I have gotten so scared before that I thought I was dying!!! Scaring people is not a good thing to do because it can traumatize them, make them not want to be around you, and also can make them feel scared and embarrassed.
I could hear a creek in the distance. If I ran to it I could dive in and they lose my scent. As the gushing water became louder I noticed how long I had been out here it was almost pitch black. I could see the river flowing towards the camp, I jumped in to the river. It chilled me to the bone. Then as my head popped out of the water I could see the majestic sun rise. And with the night my fear was now
Before I engage in a run, my panic-filled eyes dart around in front of me as I perceive a path through the forest. Branches and twigs catch my hair, yanking out strands as they become entangled, yet I keep running. Only until I hear the sound of John's engine fade away do I cease my running, and lean my shoulder against a tree as I take deep lung-fulls of air, all the while, my sobs remain heavy as comprehend what just happened. All around me is darkness. Only slithers of moonlight seep through the dense fir trees. With my mouth closed, my shuddered breaths drown out the eerie quietness. However, the pounding of my heart continues to deafen me. I retrieve my phone from my bag and illuminate it to expel light, as assess my surroundings. All around me are the dense trees, and I'm unable to ascertain the way back to the road. A panicked whimper escapes my lips as I envision spending the entire night out here in the cold. As my remaining energy depletes, I rest my hand upon the tree closest to me, caressing the roughness of the bark under my fingertips. My eye throbs, as does the cut just beside it. Consequently, my hand flutters up to cover the wound, though does little to abate the pain. The quivering of my body intensifies as the warm adrenaline disperses, allowing the chill to seep through to my bones. I can't stay here all night, I'll freeze to death. With no recollection of my path into the woods, I turn to what I believe to
The roaring sound of the clock was not helping either. I felt as if mentally there, wherever I was but, physically I was not. I could here voices, sobbing but I could not open my eyes. “she might not wake up for day or hours” was the last thing I heard before darkness took me away.
As we walked by the scary house, we walked by with fear. We heard the stories about the ghost roaming around there. We saw the scary looking pumpkins. It was Halloween, and this is what we saw, a scary clown chasing us down the scary and dark road. Halloween with all of its spooky houses, ghosts, can be an apprehensive holiday.

The coldness all around me as I step outside my car. The dark clouds hug far above my head. As I prepare myself for the challenge that lies ahead. It was the middle of the winter and the trees looked like twigs. As I walk around the leaves crunching under my boots. I carry a camera as I head toward the creepy, noisy house. The singing of James inside the car could be heard all over the country. I keep walking forward to get a better look at this house I could see the paint wearing off and the windows boarded up. I look at my phone in horror and realize that it's close to dead. Thunder boomed over my head as rain started to come down. I walk up to the gate and open it. The gate creaked open and I look upon the yard. The grass was dead the stone path looked like pebbles. The house looked fragile as if it was about to collapse I gulped down my fear as I push onward.
Fear isn’t something that just goes away easily, it lingers and haunts you until it kills you inside. It is an unpleasant emotion and it creeps up on you as darkness takes over daylight, slowly and then all at once. However, fear is like the monster under my bed or the one hiding in my closet. Instead of just hiding, my fear grows immensely every time I try to ignore it. A time that I experienced intense fear was when my house got robbed but it made me stronger than before.
Sanborn NY- “The only thing you should fear is fear itself.” Well, that and many other things. I found myself itinerating around the campus of Niagara County Community College on March 14th, 2016 curious how realistic fears play a part in our social and daily life. Let me make this clear, it was very difficult discovering what type of questions to ask. I kept reminiscing the thought who are the right people for this and then it hit me; student athletes.
President Franklin Roosevelt once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Throughout my elementary school years, multiple teachers asked me to write a poem. I wrote my first poem in kindergarten with Miss Maggee at Collegium Charter School. Surrounded by white walls and colorful posters, I put my pencil to the paper. She asked me to write a fear that I had. Mrs. Buckley asked me to complete the same task in fourth grade at Starkweather Elementary School. Fear. Fear is included in a biography poem. For years, I would write the most common fear my classmates had, whether it was heights, bears, or clowns. Why couldn’t I think of a fear? Why did my classmates each have a specific fear? What do I fear? As I asked myself these questions, I found my answer. I am afraid of failure. The
I looked in my mother’s mirror that I had kept. My once luscious light brown hair was now matted and turning blond from the sun, my blue eyes were bright and stood out on my tanned skin but around them I had bags from sleepless nights from nightmares. I placed the mirror along with the supplies I had gathered for the journey ahead into my backpack. At 9am I set of Southwards to meet Peter. For the first few hours I came across nothing out of the ordinary, the birds were flying in the sky and the fish were swimming and jumping in the river. About 1 mile away from where Peter and I had decided to meet, I looked up to the sky and saw that there were a swarm of crows above my head. Knowing that this were a sign of trouble I picked up my pace as I was in an open area with no cover. It was then that the crows decided to attack. They dived at me and began pecking me and grabbing me with their claws. I sprinted as fast as I could to get to the trees that were in front of me. Suddenly I heard this almighty bang, a gunshot. The crows let out harsh caws and flew away, reaching the trees I put my hand on my knees, panting. “You must be Elizabeth?” I let out a small scream and whipped my head to the left. There was a man with black hair and green eyes standing there, he put out his hand, “Peter” he commented. Getting over my mini-heart attack I took his hand and shook it, “Elizabeth” I replied. We decided to make camp in the forest and have some food, after our meal we both took out our backpacks to look over the information that we had gathered. It started raining, very heavily; there was this almighty rumble and a bright flash. I tried to stuff all my paper in my bag but was unsuccessful. “I’ve found it!” screamed Peter. Looking past him I saw a huge wave that was smashing down all the trees in its way. “We need to go!” I exclaimed. Peter dropped to his knees to pick up a piece of paper that I had dropped, “The cure, I’ve found
It was a gloomy tempestuous night. I was running away from something but I wasn’t sure what I was running away from. I scampered with exhaustion as the forest closed on me like a pair of jaws. I also had no idea where I was. My eyesight was distorted by the troubling unavoidable mist. I noticed that a small black figure with great yellowish green eyes had passed through my path which caused me to trip over a branch and fall to the ground with a “THUD!”
At 6:00 A.M. on that oddly warm December morning the melody of my phone’s ringtone began to resonate through my bedroom, stirring me from my sleepy state. I do not quite remember answering the phone call, in fact, much of that morning was a blur of images and sounds in my mind. However, I do remember my irregular, strangled breathing as I attempted to dress with clothes I had found crumpled on the wooden floor of my room. Soon, I found myself in a car filled with maddening silence. The car ride was so quiet
