Thge Place I would Never Visit Again!
As the unfriendly, ice-cold wind travelled precipitously over the neglected heath, I made my first brave step towards the enormous entrance leading into the settlement of those abandoned souls.The closer I seemed to get towards the overpowering, fully grown gateway the darker the area became with the stealthily moving shadows. Courageously I pulled the rusted gate open, which was scraping my soft skin, I found myself in a whole new unnatural world.

There were huge amounts of rotting gravestones in an extremely vast area contained in by gloomy, overpowering trees. I made my first movements inside the charmed graveyard I could smell nothing but the decaying flavour of rotten flesh and suffocating odour. While walking, I found that there seemed to be no living sounds except of the cooing of the owl and the desperate cries of the eagle. I wondered around getting deeper and deeper into the vast graveyard. I could hear the howling of a hungry wolf urgently searching for its prey. The thought crossed my mind to cowardly turn back and retreat from the bewitched colonization of lifeless souls the thought came back to me about the whole reason for going to the place. Then I remembered all for her.

Just seeing her in the morning would lighten up my entire day from a dull grey to sensational yellow. However one day she had been moribund with fever and died from a natural causes. Even among all the rotten, devilish scents and feelings there was something that seemed to just wonder around the lifeless region. Something as majestical as her beatified, genial, gentle and good hearted soul. I sensed however that it had unfinished business and was left wondering peacefully. It was then that I remembered the key moments in my peculiar life that I had happily shared with her, from the time when we met to the very day before she was wiped of the face of this very cold-hearted earth. Her dazzling blonde hair and baby blue eyes was the only thing that could start to compare to her fabulous personality.

Remembering back on her gave me the true inspiration to proceed on with my original intentions. However as I then continued to wonder around, the previous focused and happy attitude turned into an attitude of abhorrence and bereavement. I then noticed that I seemed to notice the dark, evil and depressing side of all things and I became low spirited and downhearted. As I approached my wife's tombstone, memories came rushing back into my head of the good times. My eyes welled up with tears. My love for her was too strong and I couldn't bare to stand and evn look at her in this condition. I felt nosiated at the site before me and was forced to leave. It was the walk back to my car that I realized that I did not need to visit her tombstone to be near her. Samantha{my wife}lived within my heart. It was then that I decided to never visit her tombstone again in my entire life.

    A slight breeze blew throughout the dandy forest, swaying the stiff lifeless trees and blowing the black stained leaves across my bare white feet. As I stumbled across the dead landscape, a slight fog swam around blending in with the increasingly falling snow. Hundreds of dark wood surrounding me seemed to slowly cave in, creating a narrow cave-like passage. An eerie feeling swept over me, and I stopped completely, analysing every detail around me. The smog became thicker, blinding the scenery and almost completely covering my vision. I sensed an inhuman presence watching me, and flinched whenever a snapping sound came from a faraway distance. I slowly turned around and began pacing in the direction I came from. The fog smothered me but I kept running,…

My senses were becoming acquainted to new feelings: guttural whispers, excruciating odour, ponderous glass-like air and the cemented, pungent, taste of death!

    It was a roasting midday on a Saturday. Not a cloud in the sky, knocking back some smoko in the grips of my sweaty, bloody hand on the porch of one of the oblong huts, the galvanised iron roof buckled and creaked as the mercury rose to forty three. The sounds of pigs squealing broke the silence of the dusty outback wind that swiftly gathers up dust and travels through the thin clearing of the coolabah trees. The earth was worked and prepared, and dusty as the Poison Gate Road.…

    Gone was the quick, flashing eye that irritated my sensibilities and quickened my heart when we were younger. Her beauty had faded into a shadow of her brilliance during those winter nights in society. That evening on the hallowed grounds of our meeting place, she picked her steps slowly, content to leave her hand in mine. Her gaze was melancholy, solemn. They were worldly eyes. They had seen a darker side of existence.…

    The wind howled around me like a pack of starving wolves as I entered the cemeteries rusty iron gates. Yet it seemed so wild and chaotic that it reminded me of home, so it didn’t bother me at all, I was used to it. My brother’s headstone was only a ten minute walk away so I let myself drink in the moonlight and the memories the cemetery held. I remembered the first time I went there with my mother, just after Jason died... She led me down the now familiar mud track past the eerie, dancing trees, to the spot she planned on burying him. And it wasn’t until I was standing in front of the headstone that I realized he was gone ; that was the first time I truly cried. I slowly walked down the pebbly path and admired the cherry blossoms that were flourishing around the graveyard. It was a cold Aprils night and it was going to be dark soon.…

    Jane was a captivating person. She had “a sidelong pickerel smile” and was a delight to converse with. The speaker often compares her to birds and plants, giving her in image of innocence, of perfection. “A wren, happy, tail into the wind, Her song trembling the twigs and small branches…Oh, when she was sad, she cast herself down into such a pure depth, Even a father could not find her.” It seems from these lines, the speaker paid close attention to every move Jane would make. He grew attracted to her ‘perfect and pure’ persona that when she died, it was difficult for him to cope.…

    I continue on the Briones to Diablo Trail and soon intersect with the Indian Creek Trail. As I near the junction, an owl hoots in the distance. The sound is coming from the oak woodland below, along Indian Creek, the namesake for the trail. I descend the trail in the twilight and head into the embrace of the woods. The owl continues its haunting call as I wander further down the trail. I stop and listen, and soon enough, I spot a dark silhouette on a branch not far away. I watch for a while, taking in the mystery and magic of the moment as the dark begins to close in. Soon it will be too dark to see in this sheltered area of the…

    Opening the door slightly, I was greeted with a thick wall of darkness. Peering out into the inky blackness of the passageway, I tried to clam myself down to go down to the kitchen to grab some candles to light up the house. I finally felt ready to go down , as if I was fighting a war with the darkness. As I opened the door, the door seemed to come alive, making a creak sound, warning me not to go out of this room. Biting my lip, I groped around the black darkness. I quickly made my way towards the staircase. Just moments ago, I was still waving goodbye towards my parents when they went to their friends wedding party.…
