Y ear 5 - D escriptive W riting SPLASH, THUMP! The unknown creature marches through the rotten stream. Bravely, I peek around the big brown tree to observe the creature. Viewing the creature, I see a fearful fantasy face with grotty green eyes, a crooked creepy nose, a monstrous mouldy mouth and sharp intricate ears. “GRRRR” it grunted! Delicately, the creature lays its devilish disgusting body on the grass. This was the perfect time for me to run away until…it spotted me!

It started as a walk. I was wandering around, unaware of the horror I was about to face. When I saw the mysterious silhouette, I couldn’t not investigate! Curiously, I approached the shape slowly. ‘Getting closer’ , I thought to myself, ‘ nothing bad is going to happen’ . Then I saw it . . . My heart skipped a beat. Towering before me was a tree; although not just any tree. It had a body. Its features were, well, inhuman. Wooden limbs hanging from the main trunk. The head, green as leaves, was unmoving, eyes fixed to the ground. I had a feeling it packed a formidable punch. ‘ But it can’t move ’ I said to myself. At least that’s what I thought. It moved, and although I wanted to see it’s front, I ran . . .

A World Without Light Darkness means everything. Feelings, situations and places. Figuratively and literally it always has an impact. Anyone or anything can become darkness, that’s what happened to my world, my life, devoured by darkness. Heart beating fast I pressed my back against a tree, the usual tranquility of the forest was long gone. Despite the forest the darkness had swallowed everything. A strong feeling enlightened my senses and suddenly I knew what was going to happen, the river beside me started to bubble and gurgle, the silhouette of a hideous figure emerged from the depths. Then it hit me, this thing, this animal it was the one who controlled the darkness, the one who killed my family and destroyed my life! A surge of anger raced through my veins, all I wanted to do was destroy the creature who ruined my life. “Hey you, beast!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, the formidable creature turned to face me.
