P5B Sample Creative Writing

Jake walked across the dusty plains. Its dry, course sand stretching as far as the eye could see. Jutting out from the sand were dinosaur bones. In his exhaustion, he sank down to the floor and leaned against them. Taking a long drink from his bottle, he gazed into the distance when suddenly, the earth started shaking which was followed by a deafening roar which could be heard for miles. Jake squinted and what he saw made terror run down his spine. A dinosaur with razor-sharp teeth shook the ground with its thundering footsteps heading towards him. It stopped for a moment, sniffed the air for the smell of prey and let out a mighty bellow before advancing closer. In a heartbeat, Jake scrambled to his feet and ran helter-skelter to a nearby forest. Sensing that its prey was escaping, the dinosaur lumbered after Jake, and at the same time knocking over the entrenched bones which fell like pillars to the ground. It was so close that he could smell its putrid breath which came pouring out of its nostrils like a long yellow ribbon. Not wanting to fall into the clutches of death, Jake put on a sudden burst of speed and ran deep into the forest till the dinosaur's roars could no longer be heard. Panting heavily, his footsteps faltered and finally, he dropped to the ground in exhaustion.

John turned around and to his horror, he saw a ferocious man-eating dinosaur which had razor sharp claws and teeth. It was all muscles, with rage seething at its core. John was paralysed with fear as he stood rooted to the ground. His heart pounded like a jack-hammer as chills ran down his spine. Realizing the gravity of the situation, John regained his senses, turned around and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. But to his utter disbelief, the dinosaur was hot on his heels. John started to lose steam as he made a last attempt to escape from the clutches of the gigantic dinosaur. He quickly slipped into a nearby cave that he had spotted earlier. Beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead as he heaved a sigh of relief at the thought of escaping death.

The thin veils of clouds in the sky provided little refuge from the sun's heat. Hanks took a sip of water from his bottle and wiped off the beads of perspiration that had trickled down his forehead.

All of a sudden, a ear-splitting roar filled the air. A roar, he realised, that can only be made by sothing huge and definitely not human. Instinctively, Hanks glanced over his sholder and his worst fear was realised. To his horror and utter disbelief, he saw an enormous dinosaur with course skin and blood-shot eyes lumbering towards him.

Gripped with visceral fear, Hanks scrambled to his feet. The dinosaur came so close that he could make out its flairing nostrils and its putrid breah came in quick and shallow, pouring out like yellow ribbons while it eyed him with an icy cold stare. Hanks made a mad scramble towards a huge forest, as he dodged the sharp bones that jutted out from the ground while the dinosaur pursued him tenaciously, undeterred by the protruding bones. It did not take long before Hanks realised that fatigue was overwhelming him and as his vision blurred, he wondered whether he would be able to escape.
