He stares wildly with eyes transfixed upon the flame as the match is lit. His pyromania needs being fulfilled as he throws the match upon the dried leaves in the middle of the forest. He watches and his lips twist up in a wicked smile as the flames engulf the dried up piles of leaves in the middle of the clearing. He walks closer to his creation watching the flames begin to fly in the sky. It is a...

How she got the book, she doesn’t remember, She thinks she got it from her cat who mixes life and death, wispers and voices. Differ...
This just in! I’m an an astonishing act of nature and revenge, the south-pacific ocean has begun engulfing entire countries at a time! Licking at the shores like a bored kid in a barber shop, wave after wave decimates homes and farms. Entire towns are defenceless against the cruel and eager hands of Mother Nature!...
Cara reached for her headphones worth an eager expression. She had been waiting all day to be able to lose herself in the music. Last year, in tenth grade, the teachers allowed students to listen to music, but the new principal had outlawed the popular rule.
From the first chord, Cara found herself smiling as the noise engulfed her senses. The power that the music had over the girl was aston...
I’d like to say that I was eager to start the new semester, but the truth is that there is always a lot of trepidation that surrounds new beginnings. Even when one is a veteran teacher (and I was getting close to that point now) there is a cloud of anxiety that engulfs the individual. I think it is because teaching is based so much on relationships, and each semester rips old relationships apart...
Looking into the eye of the orange horizon, I melt into my thoughts. The passion that once drove me to this secluded alcove has shifted. When I was engulfed with a need to be desired, nothing could stand in my way. Men were eager to throw themselves at my feet. The last night of their lives spent in a euphoric high. Electricity tingles my skin as I recollect. The switch from lust to raw fear in le...
They were all so eager to get to the edge of the cliff, trampling over each other, rolling and tumbling their way to their doom. It was astonishing to watch them do it, to see not one of their little bodies straggling behind. Every last one pushed forward to be the first, or one of the first, to go tumbling into the violently churning waves a hundred feet below. And why? To what end? They have no ...
It’s Firework Day, the town is eager
Each year hoping Klauss will ignite
the Volcano Fountain.
And once again, astonishing sparks and trails
will fly across the square,
and we will reach upwards, towards the fire lanterns.
No-one will mourn, the grief that engulfed us
will dissolve
And Klauss will climb down from the church tower
As the bells in his head ring out once more...
My mother would tell me stories of what was in the dark, about strange creatures, and the power which the dark had. I was **_eager_** to find this power, I wanted to see it, just like my mother had. I ran to my room and turned out the light, I closed my curtains so I was **_engulfed_** in the darkness. I sat on my bed and grabbed my quilt, wrapping myself in the warm, soft blanket that my mother h...
When the idea had come to her, she hadn’t been eager to see it through. at least, not in the typical sense. there was no joy, no anxiety or stress; just a certainty that this needed to be done, and she was the one to do it. That she had to do it, and so she did. Because this was the only way, she didn’t care about herself only her siblings, and she knew that they wouldn’t be safe if they stayed wi...
