ESL Group Story Writing Class 11th August 2011
I was walking along a narrow road slowly, taking in the scenery around me breathing slowly in and out. I needed to catch my breath because I has just seen something that was really out of the ordinary.
It was a really dark night, without a moon, only clouds in the sky. I looked along the forest and could see something moving behind the trees but I couldn't define what it was. Maybe a big bear? When I wanted to run, the bear caught me. My mother told me that bears only eat you when you are moving a lot. So I thought that maybe I should have slowed down a bit but it was too late. I had a big bite mark on my right leg.
I started to run as fast as I could away from the bear and I got lost in the forest, bleeding. Soon it was dark and I started to hear very scary noises. Then I saw a big bridge and after the bridge, one big castle. I ran and knocked the on door asking for help. Then that's when it became a really bad day for me. I saw that the bear was coming.

As I was standing in front of the castle door, I started to notice that the humidity of the air also took a toll on my body and I stood frozen. Then I heard noises from inside the castle and a feeling of relief overcame me. A baron of great stature opened the door and said "Good evening" slowly and in a deep scary voice. It reminded me of the hunch backed characters I had seen in movies before opening the door inviting me in. "Welcome to Castle of Doom. I hope it's the place you were looking for" he said. I ran inside to escape the bear. The baron slammed the door in the bear's muzzle and turned towards me.
I took a deeper breath, I look at his eyes scared, he looked at my leg and said "It is your lucky night! Let's take care of this leg". The host gave me a drink of wine and told me when I drink that I will forget the pain. It took too long. I didn't know what happened and before I knew it I was sleeping.
When I woke up, I had a strong urge to leave the castle. I couldn't help but notice that even though this man must've had sincere intentions, he was a narcissist to the extreme. I have a fine eye for those sorts of people and it never turned out well in the past. In my opinion this wouldn't end well if I stayed in this dark and eerie castle but before I could look for a way out, the baron entered my room. He had changed into a shiny fluttering robe. It was so shiny I was blinded.
"My dear guest, are you ready to visit the castle? I haven't had a visitor in ages" he said and lead me out of the room into a narrow and dark passage. As I walked, still limping down the dark passage, I felt my body shiver. I heard strange sounds, I did not know where, it was very long, but I could see a huge door at the end. He stopped. I was afraid again. When he opened the door I just turned back and walked to that room again. I said "I'll never leave that room by myself". As I walked back up the narrow passage, trying to get away from the baron, he started to chuckle. "Do you really think you can just leave this place?" I turned around looking surprised. "What exactly do you mean by that?" I replied. "Well you were so kind to me, allowing me to stay here. You mended my wounds and sheltered me from the night."
"I've remembered I have to be in a place by noon and I really have to go now. Could you be so nice as to call me a taxi?" I said. His eyes looked at my eyes, I felt the chill go down at my spine. He opened the door and I could see a lab. "No, he said. I can't call you a taxi. I need your help. Will you help me in an experiment?" I didn't know what he wanted but in my mind I just hoped that I could leave this forest alive. "I will help you! " Then he said "please close your eyes but this will be a bit cold on your neck". He put a needle in my neck and as much as I resisted, I slowly plummeted to the ground. "Go to sleep", he said to me. And then I died.
