She stood alone at the edge of the mountain, staring into what felt like an endless picture of empty beauty. Wasn't this where her help was supposed to come from, the hills? The mountain had seemed like her last refuge. But now, exhausted and shaking, she was forced to face the truth: the mountain could change nothing for her.<br /><br /> She shut her eyes. Up here she was small and fragile. It wasn't hard to imagine how easy it would be to simply slip and fall to the tree-sprinkled ground below. Maybe it would even be better that way.<br /><br /> Her legs shook as she contemplated the option; her fingers trembled as she clenched the worn strap of her backpack. Why did she even fight so hard to stay alive? What was she living for? To watch all of those she cared about fade away? <br /><br /> The silence taunted her at the same time as it comforted her. Maybe the question to ask herself shouldn't be why she continued clinging to life; it should be why she began dancing with death in the first place. <br /><br /><br />Ugh, I've been struggling with a really bad case of writer's block all week. So.... Take this for what you will. S.

And I guess I'm just supposed to write it here...<br />~~~~~~<br /> The man stared at me through shoulder length wisps of hair. I tried not to stare back, but I couldn't help it. My eyes studied the man. His hair. His face. His clothes. His eyes. His eyes peered at me. When I stepped closer to the man, he stepped farther away. When I looked up at his face again, I saw that his mouth was moving.<br /> "What are you saying?" I called towards him.<br /> His voice raised just loud enough for me to hear, "On the other side of fear, lies freedom," and with that he turned away and weaved through the trees of the forest.<br /> On the other side of fear, lies freedom... how did that man know what I was doing? How did he know that I was searching for freedom? And how did he know that I was scared out of my wits?<br />~~~~~~<br />Thanks for doing this Tessa, I hope this right...<br /><br />TW<br />ravensandwriting.blogspot.comTW Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213969076030457918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-49534511318818855552014-02-18T23:06:57.078-08:002014-02-18T23:06:57.078-08:00Here is the real link. =P Thanks HP for pointing t...Here is the real link. =P Thanks HP for pointing that out. =P<br /><br />http://indonesiaaroundme.blogspot.com/2014/02/mondays-minutes_18.html<br /><br />That should work... =PTW Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213969076030457918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-44501499745753150762014-02-18T23:03:59.002-08:002014-02-18T23:03:59.002-08:00=P Thanks for saying that.

H...Hi, Tessa! This is my little sister's entry. Her name is Anna and she's 10. I think she did a really good job. :)<br />She based it on the picture and on 1 Timothy 6:10. Here it is:<br /><br />I felt like I was on top of the world. I stopped to take in the beauty of it all. Even though I was petrified, I still managed to wonder at the loveliness of it all.<br />“Sophie, come one! We haven’t got all day!” Steve barked, grabbing me roughly by the arm and yanking me down the ravine. <br />“I know! I’m coming!” I exclaimed, pulling my arm from my kidnapper’s grasp.<br />“Watch your tone, it could get you into trouble.” he growled as he turned to face me.<br />Oh, no! I thought once I saw him fully; he had his hand on his hip reaching for a gun! He slowly took it out, looking with pleasure at my fear-stricken face. “Now,” he said, pulling the gun out of his belt holster. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” He finished, raising the pistol and aiming right at my heart. “And I’ll choose the hard way if you take a single step.” Steve declared with a smug smile of satisfaction on his face. <br />“Why are you doing this to me?” I cried <br />"You really think I would let your family get away with that?” he bellowed heatedly<br /> “Away with what?” I asked confused. <br />“Your family stuck me in debtors’ prison for 5 years!”<br />“That’s because you stole $5000 from us!” I yelled indignantly.<br />He started to walk toward me, but I couldn’t leave since his gun was still pointed at me. He circled around me and the cold metal touched my back and I flinched from the surprise.<br />An evil smile crossed his lips as he raised the gun.Elisabeth Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659542267510136817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-38169750909057340972014-02-18T08:48:15.584-08:002014-02-18T08:48:15.584-08:00I always like yours, too. :)I always like yours, too. :)Elisabeth Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659542267510136817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-18472920405843025682014-02-18T07:37:49.087-08:002014-02-18T07:37:49.087-08:00http://folksheep.blogspot.com/ I don't know w...http://folksheep.blogspot.com/ I don't know what happened, but as it looks now there just white areas where the writing should be, maybe it'll clear up, but I'll post it in comment as well. I'm continuing the "Deartháir" story, "When she called my name, I knew my life would never be the same again." oh look third place #2, thanks! <br /><br /> When she called my name, I knew my life would never be the same again. I was by the lakeside still, pondering the course of my life when I heard my name. “Lachlan!” It pierced through my thoughts and rang out over the peaceful lough. I was being called away from my place of quietude back into the ebb of life. Turning my head I beheld her, Fiona. She was my brother’s sweetheart, who, after hearing the news had shut herself up in her house for weeks. The both of us had lost the one who had once brought fire to our lives, fire to my timidity, and fire to her heart. <br /><br />She was there before me, her long dark hair swept up in the light breeze across the lough, a hard look in her face, a new, deeper, dimmer gleam in her eyes that I had never seen before. What was I to do? We held a silence, a silence more powerful than multitudinous words, a silence that inferred a kindred spirit that we both held; a silence of mutual sorrow. <br /><br />We must have held that silence for a century. The gentle waves lapped the loughside, the leaves rustled, and our hearts beat, unsteadily at first, then surer and more even. The light behind me faded as the day drew to a twilight, half disclosing, half hiding what we both knew must be around us. One by one, my steps led homeward, through the trees and the fields I had known so well, but somehow they seemed more foreign to me than ever. <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273035517464351049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-7749351264729684302014-02-18T04:56:48.537-08:002014-02-18T04:56:48.537-08:00Gosh your's is really good, HP.
