An Adventure

By Vihaan [Grade 5]
 
I was blithe to go home. It was getting late. The sky had become atramentous [ black/dark] . I walked down the road quietly. I thought something was following me. I heard a hissing sound.
I turned around in a jiffy . I saw a black snake with golden spots covering its entire body. I saw it with my naked eye. I was petrified and my knees shook like jelly. I darted like a cheetah  but I soon got lost and reached a dead end. As the Viper reached my stand, I made a quick decision and went into the woods. There were lots of creepy crawlies over there Hanging on the trees were shadows which howled. There were strident voices and shrieks of birds and animals. The hoot hoot of the owls and the sounds of the vulture petrified me. Then, I saw a volery of birds with sharpened beaks flying towards me. As fast as lightning, I darted and took a turn. Then I saw the viper. Its eyes looked into mine, its head slightly moving side by side. I couldn’t move. I stood there as the snake approached me. I heard  a wolf howl as a full moon appeared. The golden spots glistened on the snake’s body. I had no choice, I jumped and sprinted into a house on my left at the last moment and my head and my leg started to bleed. It would leave a big scar. I couldn’t watch the gross sight as the Viper was being eaten by something grisly. I hid behind a wall. After a few minutes, the screeching noises stopped. I went outside and a pile of bones was scattered on the path. I couldn’t see the gruesome sight and my forehead was buzzing with the scar. I felt dizzy. I fell down, unconscious. I woke up with a start at 2 :00 in the morning on my bed sweating from head to toe. I realized why I had seen this nightmare. I had seen this  a horror movie and had bumped head in my school on the edge of a bench. But there was something on my leg. There was a cut on my leg which was bleeding. Something surely wasn’t right. I fell down on my downy pillow and started to snore right away. I went to sleep not caring about the cuts on my leg as my entire body was aching.
