Writing Sample

THE BUSH

The Bush Walk its say on the Camp Brochure, A few weeks later we arrive at the camp struggling for air waiting to turn the engine off and to take the journey of our lives, survival Piha. Hungrily waiting for the adventures we paid for, camping though the  night, making tents made out of different kinds of natural plants and trees, and the two hour walk to the top of Piha mountain., shaking the the excitement of my bones. The camp grounds had brightly mode green grass, cabins that smelt like air freshener, the beds had a cotton sniff to to the sheets, all you could taste was the sand baking on the tips of your tongue, “Our journey Had Just Began” I thought , The morning sun Rosie the heat reflected from my outside window burning the layers of my skin, walking slowly down the stairs and gaping tightly onto the handles a gasp of wind flew my way, goosebumps when slipping down my spine.

We jumped straight into our jumpsuits and running gear. packed lunch and all the supplies we need to survive.. Back to back we walked, birds chirping and peoples laughter harmonising through the distances running over rocks and skipping over three parts, then I stopped with a ‘BANG” I didn't think it was really important so I linked hands with my buddy and we........, I Opened my eyes I saw darkness i felt nothing but sharp rock poking me on the backside I tried to move I only felt the pain ranging from chest, i had nothing to lose but it was just too painful, i tried to yell but all I heard was the ecow it trailed behind. My muscles were weak I had no Idea how i could get out of this sticking situation, Hour went past I grabbed a hold of my backpack, I yell out again but the rain was blocking the sound. and then I remembered Julian my buddy she was trapped my searched around around me I thought their was no hope until The sun struck me it was like a blanket I felt warm for a few minutes.

I Heard A thump and a few seconds another thump, I thought to myself am i saved is there someone that will hear me I yelled as loudly as I could it hurt me a bit and the thump stopped something blocked to the sun was this a dream it said “Hello” I had no voice i searched my pockets for something like a weasel had a pocket full of breath I closed my lips closely tightly on to the end of the weasel and blew. “Are you In Any Danger” and Blew Again And Again”, He tighten the rope on to a tree and slightly slid down holding on to me and pulling me up, i Know I was Saved, Until I remembered Julian It was too late. I Died The Next Year.
