The Volcano (Pobble 365 Writing)


The Volcano


 KABOOM!! The volcano that had been latent for hundreds of years had aroused from its sleep. Scorching lava spews rapidly out of the mountain like a raging fire. The last of the snow that blanketed the mountain started to melt away. Dark ash clouds contaminate and blacken the violet sky, making it hard to see or breathe. The smell of the ash makes people’s eyes water causing their eyesight to blur. It looks like a fierce dragon ready to strike. Then all of a sudden, lightning violently strikes as if the volcano wasn’t enough. It looks like a hand suddenly reaching out to take something. The bold black mountains blend in with the beautiful scenery in the background. The scorching heat of the fire made me feel like I was in a raging hot oven. 


Here I was standing in the middle of a volcanic eruption for the first time in my life!! I feel horrified. Who gets to have a once in a lifetime experience whilst being on the verge of death?” I ask myself.
