  1. As still as a stone gargoyle the stagnant water sat waiting. The mountainous shadows casting a shadow over the slow stirrings just below the surface. Something's breath hung silently in the air , in this supposedly deserted space!

    1. This paragraph is awesome! Class Locke like the simile 'as still as a stone gargoyle' and the adjective stagnant that is used to describe the water. It puts a horrible, creepy and smelly image into our heads.

  3. The still,raw,icy lake has spots with heavy snow.The clouds,white and fluffy,move slowly like a big cat searching cautiously for its prey.Snowy mountains are still and are waiting to be climbed.

  7. Mysterious clouds float like ghosts around the mountain tops. Shimmering sunbeams make the ice glitter and sparkle.

    As the wind howls throughout the mountains, the keen air makes the trees FALL! Whoooooosh, whooooooooooooooooooosh! The snow covers your face! Whilst a large Polar Bear is coming closer to your sight!...You run and you run, but there's nowhere to hide! It's coming closer,closer,closer...
    You open your eyes slowly as you see the snow flying across your face!... It's a dark night but in your sight, you see something...It looks like a wolf, you run to the strange thing. When you get to it, it starts to disappear... You hear some screaming, on your right there's a house, a very huge house...You run towards it, when you get inside the door SMASHES behind you! BANG, CRAAAAAEK!... You see a note in front of you on a locker. You pick up the note whilst you're terrified, it says. "All members of "Khillstezs" are immediately evacuated from Antarctica due to personal reasons. All members of staff will be found in Roth-"...You say "looks like the note wasn't finished, oh well..."

    1. A terrifying opening to a story. You've really built up the suspense of being chased by a polar bear! I love your use of onomatopoeia, it makes it easy to imagine the noises in this extreme environment. Well done!
