Whistling wind blew past my ear in steady paces. Hastily, I lit a candle, frantic for warmth. With darkness approaching, fear spread through me like an enraged forest fire, and the only sound was the ravenous growls of my stomach. A howling gust of air blew in my direction as the flame flickered and then went out. Famished, frigid, and fatigued, my eyes shut, and darkness arrived in the empty crevasses of my heart.

The sunset
The crisp air pricked my skin with just the right amount of coldness. The smell of campfire swam through the field, bringing a sense of home and hearth upon me. I sat in my pyjamas on the vibrant damp grass, as the last few moments of the sun set lingered in the air, giving the sky an eerie orange glow. At last, after what seemed like a decade, lighting and thunder broke the silence, and soon I was forced to go back inside. For it had gotten too cold to stay.

Falling
The suspending stairwell was all I could see, as it looped around the sun, and back down to a lake, with shimmering water that looked as if a thousand sapphires had replaced it. Temptation pooled inside me, as I took the first step. Pondering how the view may look from the top, I took another step, and another, and another. Soon I was so high it was as if I wasn't even on earth anymore. Abruptly, the stairs broke and soon I was falling. As the ocean got closer, I realized this was the end.
Gasping, I woke up from my fast paced dream.

The Spelling Bee
"Okay, this is the one word that determines whether you win the 121st annual spelling bee. Are you ready for your final word?"
"Yes"
"Okay your word is 'Suddenly.'"
Heart pounding, and sweat dripping down my face, the judges watched with authentic anticipation, and my mind went completely blank! With all the pressure directed towards me, my mind had just shut down. But I still had to try, so I started...
"Um... Okay, 'Suddenly' S... U.. DD... E... N... L... EE!
"Sorry, that's incorrect, but you can try again next year."
Head bowed in disappointment, I walked off the stage.
