A Smoker CaseGCA 151-BEnglish Composition 1Descriptive EssayTimothy WintersSeptember 28th, 2011Box# 391WILDFIREA smoker takes one last puff of a cigarette and tosses it out of the car window, unaware that a chain of extremely powerful and devastating events has begun. As the cigarette falls to the ground it is whisked to the side of the road by air currents created from the speeding car. Sparks twist and scatter in the wind as the cigarette comes to rest on a pile of dry tinder that immediately begins to smolder. The smoldering pile of dried leaves, twigs and grass emits a smooth stream of silvery white smoke that begins to waft carelessly toward the light blue sky. The heat from the glowing embers rapidly spreads to other dried kindling, and the smoke becomes increasingly thick. The fire desperately seeks fuel from which to grow.
Another car whizzes by, creating a strong gust of wind that fans the glowing fragments igniting them into a twinkling flicker of light with incandescent shades of red, orange, and yellow. The flames begin to leap into the air as if they are chasing the meandering wisps of grayish smoke into oblivion. Like bees in a field of flowers, the flames hop aimlessly from piles of dried leaves to small clumps of parched grass, inviting them to become a part of this swiftly growing monster named “wild fire.” The grumbling roar of the fire grows, echoing to a menacing crescendo. The fire charges the shrubs and under brush with calculated precision and engulfs everything in its path at alarming speed. The fire ravenously devours the various tree and plant life with a vengeance. The sounds of trees crackling and popping are surrounded by the ominous roar of the fire’s awesome power. The fire continuously grows as it is fed by the thick wooded expanse at the edge of
A wisp of light has surrounded the forest and made it a place of fire. It is as if the forest is being burned by wildfire. The winds around the flames are swirling, a steady white smoke that sweeps past the fires and into the valley of the forest. It is a burning, burning, burning world that the flames have unleashed upon the entire world.※The entire planet has been ravaged by these wildfire-spawning fire-storms. One after the other, we have seen the largest and strongest storms in a million years and in fact, they are now even bigger than before. We are now dealing with an even greater threat, that of a terrifying and dangerous fire. The fires in the Valley of the Dead are still a mystery. It is said that one of the oldest records of the fire has been found on the side of the river. As if the river had never run clear of them, a black void that appears to extend to the River of the Dead. This black void was a place created by the Fire of Darkness, and it is known as the Valley of the Dead. Once upon a time, only these few creatures left this realm and were not known to have traveled in this black void, but now, when many years on, it has taken countless of the most deadly storms into existence. This void was once the capital of the empire of this world from the first known war until the destruction of the Empire by the Fire of Darkness. This void has remained here for thousands of years now, and once a new era of peace has arisen. When the ancient fires were burning so fiercely that countless stars were visible above the valley, the flame was so fierce that they were able to enter the Valley of the Dead. The Great Fire of Darkness once again exploded and unleashed a torrent of flames. The entire planet was ravaged and burned to the ground by these terrible tornadoes. As the flames roared from this world, a voice emanated out to us. “The entire world has been burnt.” A strange voice that once served as our guide. It was familiar, especially since it was also the voice of the Emperor of the Forest, who had once been called in on a plan of conquest, and who would once again go to the great mountain plains of the Valley of the Dead, to help rebuild the Empire of this Empire. He was one whose purpose was to bring all the forces of chaos and conflict to the Great Forest for its benefit. All this would be done before the great fire that lay above had any chance and its power would never be extinguished.
The Burning Forest in which the fire is currently burning is the world of the dead on the other side of the River of Maelstrom, which is the river of life that the many dead on this world were destined to consume until the end of time. This world is filled with a terrifying mixture of life and death. The inhabitants of this world will never forget the life that once went into this world and is no longer here. They will never forget that they were slaves and only the flames of the Forest that burned on this world could consume all of this land. If the flame they live on to come to consume them, then the Flame of Death will consume them all again, and will eat away every life on this world.
