The icy cave


Breathlessly, exhausted I zigzagged down the icy cave wondering if when I get down I can ever get back up.  Shivering as  I climbed down the icy cave I saw crystal and frozen rocks while staring at the warmth of the sunshine I was feeling scared.  Imagining the icy walls coming closer and closer to me.  As I climbed I used my pick axe to loosen the crystals I grabbed two crystals and became a billionair it turns out the crystals was worth a billion dollars and one of the crystals was desplayed in a museum.







Adventure Time

I was walking, I saw an ice cave. I went into the ice cave it was so cold it felt like I had no breath. While I was climbing down the ice wall it was slippery. I nearly slipped off the ice wall. I stepped into the snow. When I stepped in it I saw a crystal. I used my pickaxe and I got the crystal out of the ground. I could taste the cold air while I was climbing  up the ice wall the wall felt like it was about to shake. I wondered if I would get out before started to shake.

A studying moment

My feelings as I entered the ice glacier were tired and normal. When I was on the ground, I saw two huge walls of ice.
There was some snow, some icicles and I could see a streak of sunlight beaming down.
I took a bit of a walk around while looking and studying the ice walls and how thin it was.
The walls of ice had little puddles of very cold water. WOW!

Once I had finished studying the ice, I grabbed my hooks and climbed up, any dry ice could send me falling forty feet.
My hooks were hitting the ice hard. My gloves making sure the ice was cold and thick and I was kicking into the ice hard.
Once I had made it back to the top my friend pulled me up. 
The helicopter was waiting for us up top. My friend and I got on board and we flew back to base.

We were safe!







FROZEN

As I was climbing up the frozen stiff ice wall, my frozen feet were so cold I felt like I was going to fall, but I didn't.  I kept being brave and slowly put each foot in the snow. My hands were tired from holding the pickaxe and banging it on the stiff wall of ice.

I kept moving slowly and steadily toward the ground, putting each feet on snow. Finally I was on the ground I was amazed how dark it was. I took out my torch and started looking around the underground cave. Suddenly one thing caught my eye I saw the most beautiful thing, it was a shining blue crystal.

I was thinking to myself, has anyone been down here before? When I took out the beautiful crystal the ground suddenly moved like there was a giant coming. I ran so fast like a cheetah I fell down on the ground  and hit my head on a stone. The side of my head started bleeding. My vision got very blurry but I had hope that this terrifying moment would end.

Later on the shake stopped and the bleeding on the side of my head stopped my vision was not blurry anymore. I felt very thankful and climbed up the big stiff ice wall to safety.

Frozen snow cave

Anxiously waiting to get hoisted into the underground cave.  Finally I'm down wow all I can see is gleaming walls with long icicles hanging from them.  On the end of the icicles were frozen ice.  Putting my pick axe into the icy walls, scared to move another step, hoping  I don't fall.  What am I looking for you ask well I'm looking for crystals.  Finally I found the crystals in a big cave.  Putting my pick axe into the icy wall moving side to side. Half way up I found a little cave with a wall of ice and frozen icicles on the top of the cave, so I went to the cave it was so dark so I had a little sleep.  A couple hours later I saw sunshine and heard voices saying are ok buddy I knew the sound of that voice it was my best friends I said I am cold so yanked on the harness string and my buddies pulled me up.

The story of my life

Still and breathless watching the gleaming walls opening to the sunshine. Feeling anxious and stressed wondering if I am going to reach the top. Silence, the cold gave me a shiver and only a little bit of air to breath in the fragile walls felt like they were caving in and for a second I could the ice walls shaking around me. Slow and steady trying to get a grip on the shredded rope while the sound of the snow rumbled, falling into the cracks of the cave .
Am I going to get out of here ALIVE?


       

Frozen on a cliff.

There I stood cold, bitter and confused as my partner and I tried to climb out of this situation. 
It was not easy as the gleaming ice wall stared back at my face.

My friend and I knew this trip would be breathtaking! None of us knew what was coming. Half way,  3 o'clock, last sight of my friend at the time as the fog had drawn in. A couple of minutes later and I caught sight of my friend as she pick axed her way to me. 

We finally made it to safety, weak and tired. The captain of our helicopter helped us up. We were so lucky to finally make it out alive.

The snowy ice berg

As I was climbing on the cold gleaming ice I felt scared and brave. It was really rough to climb, darkness was near so I had to go faster, but my rope was stuck on a long ice shelf. I couldn't go anywhere I had no choice, I had to go down. Darkness had fallen and I couldn't feel anything. I was panicking, I tried to call for help but I was to far away. My fingers were really colg like a freezing ice I felt deliberate, I knew it was getting colder, Helicopters were searching for me I was sitting really still. It was breath taking, I was found and they took me to the hospital. I had survived.

Pound The Alarm

The Mantis stood there clicking his sharp razor teeth. The Mantis dainty slender legs inched carefully. Step by Step he became more thrilled. The Mantis agile body leaped and lurched.

The innocent little butterfly crept backwards to the fragile flower. Its beautiful wings flapped up and down, ready to fly. But the butterfly wasn't going to give up. The butterfly little eyes turned into a cold stare, that created an ice-cold atmosphere.

My adventure

A mantis's story

Shiiiing!

Goes my sharp blades as it chops a fly in half. I grab both pieces as I munch my way through whilst rapidly slicing any other huge parts that won't fit my mouth. I let out a small burp and walked across the grassy area chopping long strands of grass. My hands felt weird as if it was bleeding, which was impossible. I tramp through a slippery bridge before a giant shadow was looming over me. I look up and I saw a millions of green gates with my compound eyes. I almost bump into one before I knew it, I was under all the gates. Some giant footsteps made the earth rumble as I scramble to my feet almost losing balance as I realised I was out of there.

I crawl up some steps but I noticed I wasn't walking side to side. I was walking STRAIGHT!! That's probably IMPOSSIBLE for me. I saw a fly and tip toed over to catch it. I stretched my arms but excruciating pain washed over me and before I knew it, I was lying down, rolling over while shouting screams of pain. 

"Hey can you hear that? It sounds like a cricket!" "No. That's just nothing. TAG! You're it." 

I got over the pain and  I just walked and walked. I was lifted of the ground and near a fly. I was on something transparent and the human clutch was off. I was looking at millions of people right now. I shrieked and my stomach grumbled. I saw a fly and crept closer to it. It flew way and I sighed.

Suddenly, what felt like waves of water, started splasing on my face and I coughed any necessary water out. More water went and slowly dropped on me, effectively pushing me downwards. A burst of air blew me to the side. My energy was gone. Gravity pulled me down and I was washed away by the water. The wind was whistling while it was blowing me away with water. 

My life slipped out and everything was cold and pitch black.

100 word challenge

The rainy day

Dark grey clouds covered the sky making a gloomy atmosphere to everyone around. Cold droplets of water started dripping in synchronization. I trudged across the street, the wind almost knocked me over by the intensity of it's strength then icy water was splashed to my face. I finally reach my home feeling worn out from the weather. Unwelcome leaves burst into my house leaving me speechless. I landed on my couch on a daze. The feeling of cold liquid never leaving my body. The water rose to my neck. 

The dripping of water was the last thing I heard.
