This is a narrative essay that I wrote based on given fist line (in bold). Enjoy!

The
dead tree branches cracked as I hastily walked in the dark woods. I tried to run as
fast as I could, but some kind of force is preventing me from doing so. Somehow
the effects of tranquilizers are still lingering in my blood vessels. I feel
dizzy. My head feels like it is going to burst at any time, just like a time bomb.
I have to run. I need to escape from the mansion. This is crazy. Real crazy.
The sounds of footsteps are slowly approaching my ear buds. They keep chasing
me wherever I go. Leave! Go! I feel like shouting those words but my mouth
seems hard and glued with fear. I have to search for help. I continued running
till I slipped over the hillside. Jenny and I fell into a damp valley. My
vision slowly turns dark...
3rd August – it was a
holiday! It is time for Mark and Jenny to fly back to Malaysia. Oh, I miss them
so much! They are my siblings, my younger brother and sister. They live with
Nanna in New Orleans, while I am to stay here with Dad. Mom is no longer here,
as God took her and leave everyone else in the world. It is a must for both my
siblings to spend their holiday with me in Malaysia. Mark is so into
adventurous activities. Rock-climbing, bungee-jumping, flying-fox, just name
it! Everything is under his control. About Jenny, she is totally different from
Mark. Although they are twins, they have different interests. Jenny loves
mystical things. She is not a realistic person like Mark.
There is an old mansion on top of Bukit Tua. It is where all these
nightmares started. Up till now, I regret the idea of taking them there. Since
Mark loves hiking, I thought Bukit Tua
is the place to test his skills. But, it was too late to step back. I should
stop Jenny from coming into the old mansion. Maybe I could make a difference,
but I failed.
Upon entering the mansion, cold
breeze started to blow over our body. Sometimes, it seemed like ‘somebody’ was
watching us coming into the mansion. I felt uneasy and told both Mark and Jenny
to walk out from the mansion. However, Jenny kept on walking as if she was
pulled deeper and deeper into the darkness of the mansion. I kept an eye over
Jenny and Mark from behind. Suddenly, Jenny screamed so loudly like her throat
was going to burst. She pointed her fingers to a blind spot in the darkness. Mark
and I could not understand a thing Jenny was saying at that time; as she shivered
like crazy and her words seemed foreign to us. Her eyes rolls around and she
collapsed.
I carried her over my back and tried
we tried to escape from the house. As far as I remember, we were running like
crazy to go back to the main door. But it was locked! Marks tried to open the
door several times but he could not do it. Mysterious footsteps were heard.
They were coming to us. I was frightened thinking that what will happen to all
of us if we did not managed to escape. At that time, I saw a window and tried
to open it. We escaped through that window and ran into the woods. With
hardships I carried Jenny over my back and ran as fast as I could. Without
realizing, I lost track with Mark. I was so confused and nervous but I had to
continue running to seek for help.
I slowly open my eyes and I see Dad
beside me. He looks worried. He asks me a lot of questions. I turn around; Jenny and Mark are on their
beds beside me. We look at each other, our eyes meet and we came into a decision.
We will keep this as a secret. The secret of a haunted mansion which never be visited by others.
the end.
