Rhapsody On The Sky Dialectical Journal

Improved Essays
Too consumed with pondering whether Sky would live up to her promises, and be as interesting in bed as she'd made herself out to be, before concluding the answer was yes, Ben missed the glimmer of sunlight reflecting off a rifle barrel as they exited the Mall. "If a woman is to lead her Country, and be respected by her subjects, Ms Lassiter, then she does need to live up to her word." Winking, the man was amazed that, with what had occurred in the past twenty-four hours, and their lives on the line until they were safely ensconced in England, he could enjoy himself so much. Or that he anticipated the dangerous necessity of breaking their journey to obtain a hotel-room and recharge their batteries much, much more than he really should.

Particularly when sleep was not stated on the agenda, and they'd possibly be required to remain an additional night in the same location in order for him to recover from the galore of pussy. Though, that brought another thought to mind. With Sky's constant references to James Bond, would a cheap hotel-room suffice? Or would the Future Queen of England be content with nothing less than sex on a jet-ski, in a hot-tub, or bent over the trunk of an Aston Martin, whilst he nonchalantly sipped on a shaken, but not stirred, dry Martini? He did have a reputation to uphold for the men of Britain. "I'd expect nothing less of you," he replied, shaking his head to clear his mind, before he reacted instinctively to scream, flinging his arms out to capture her as she screamed, and they tumbled to the floor, amidst shattering glass. "Fuck." Swiftly recognising what had happened, and behind a pillar, Ben glanced at exit to ensure there was no imminent danger, as people around them began to scream and sprint towards the exits, then shot a smile at Sky. "I guess the Hooker disguise didn't fool them, Pity, because I really liked it, however, to hear that you're a woman who likes to ride, does compensate somewhat. But now's probably not the time." Her humour in the situation was infectious, and he responded even as his gaze darted around the building, noting the three men in hoods, armed with Uzi's converging on the entrance, and he followed her lead. Pushing himself off the floor, he ran beside her, and with a cacophony of screams, machine-gun fire, shattering glass, and metal icocheting off metal filling the air, it struck him that the first shot had been different. Just the one, and from a sniper rifle, which had been fired before his colleagues were in place. Amateurs, according to Ben, therefore not the Russian Mafia, British MI6, FBI or the CIA. So, who the hell were these guys? That question remained unanswered, but the amateurish origins were reinforced when two men in black masks, burst through the side entrance.

Obviously, having viewed too many Hollywood movies; where the bad-guys needed to be easily distinguishable from the good-guys, because the producer and director thought their audiences too fucking stupid to be able to tell the difference otherwise, if they'd been attired in civilian clothes, he might not have recognised the danger until it was too late. Instead, their attire immediately gave them away, and as Ben and Sky zig-zagged across the floor, he planted a slug in the centre of each one's forehead. "Wait." Screaming at

The ships kept going, drifting through the darkness, even though they weren't taking pictures anymore, they were using their other senses: little instruments that detect like how many particles are around, what the temperature is, so they were hurdling through this empty space really fast, measuring, sending that data back, and scientists liked it off with their listening, waiting. They knew at some point these capsules would get to the edge of the solar system. "…

    Waking after such terrifying events, Rainsford was astonished to find Zaroff gone, upon looking through the window he saw that the dogs had dragged him off, that’s when he knew he had to get off of that terrible island. Quickly, he thought over all that had happened over the past few days on the island with General Zaroff.

    Journal # 1 Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a book I read for my University English class. People always say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but I am that one guy that does. When I first looked at the book to be completely honest, I thought it had something to do with witches or something really unrealistic. I know I have a wild imagination. The first couple of pages of the book got me hooked instantly, I loved how the book just starts and how the narrator gets right into his adventure as a young man into the Congo River.…
