Story: The Trip to Remember
I was on a vacation with my friends at a cabin in the woods, since we had decided we wanted to just relax over break. The first thing we did was decide on taking a walk through the woods so explore and to figure out what’s around us. The first thing we ran into was find a said Temple of Doom. We had no idea what that meant so we decided to go exploring and see what turns up. There was a trap door that sent a boulder behind us but we ended up running into a hallway on the side and escaping that. After that we found a tunnel to leave and popped back up at the spooky tree. The tree looked like it had been growing for hundreds of years and it had these creepy vines all around it. The air in that area was also thicker which made it harder to breath and it was fogy so it really gave it an eerie feeling. We ended up going back to our cabin since we had seen more than enough and explored a lot. This place was a lot quieter than we thought and the opposite of what we were hoping to achieve with this trip. In the morning we had breakfast and made a picnic basket to go on a picnic somewhere in the woods, hoping to not run into anything scarier than our previous day. So we walked and we walked until we found a nice open area to sit at and enjoy the nature. We sat around just talking and eating when we heard a strange sound. None of us knew what it could be, we just thought that maybe we were just hearing things and thought nothing of it. Until we heard something coming from the trees and it sounded big. It turns out it was a bear rummaging the forest for food. As soon as we saw him we ran with the bear following us. We went everywhere we could to get away from that bear and ended up splitting up. Somehow we lost the bear from our trial and made it back to the cabin at the end of the day. Once we were all there we decided to just leave this place and never come back. We packed all of our stuff within the next hour, got into our car and took off never to come back.

I instantly began to imagine the forest, cabin, and fog from the words to my head. The image that came up in my head looked very similar to they picture you posted. I like how even though the characters escaped the Temple of Doom, the "doom" never escaped them. It is very interesting how you can complete change the mood of the picture with just descriptions. When clicking on the image of the map that you used, I have a completely different feel from it, than the story you wrote. All in all, the story you wrote was very creative, and I enjoyed it, very much so.
ReplyDeleteI am with Marisha. When I saw the image for the post, I immediately pictured the story to be an eerie one. However, as I continued to read, I soon found out that it was not what I thought it was. I like how the story is very realistic and relatable as it could have happened to anyone. Your use of descriptive words helped me to visualize the story in my head. I enjoyed reading it very much!
