Adventure
It Lurks Among the Pine
As I write this, the mountains seem so dark and damp from the freshly fallen snow; too early in the season to settle on the forest floor. Incandescent yellows and fiery orange leaves climb the mountainside in broad strokes among the primarily piney wood.

The 5 worst movies of 2022 at the global box office
1. Amsterdam A horrendous film can exhaust. Or then again it tends to be paralyzingly, head-scratchingly WTF indistinguishable. Or on the other hand it tends to be capriciously irritating and in affection with that very part of itself. David O. Russell's peculiar disaster deals with the questionable qualification of being each of the three on the double. All along, as Christian Bale (in one fugly make-up evolution too far) and John David Washington natter at one another about a looming post-mortem because of reasons that altogether escape the crowd, the film apparently can't decide what's going on with it. Set in a 1930s America that seems as though it's under glass, "Amsterdam" uncovers Bale, Washington and Margot Robbie to be essential for the most un-sizzling of circles of drama — yet the genuine plot is about an endeavored fundamentalist takeover, which really occurred. When the film arrives, you wish that Russell could simply begin once again with that reality and trench the twee failure to discharge he made up.

The Coolness of Reason
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. The room was my compartment on my personal jet. She laid across the bed and peered out. This was all foreign to Bonnie Clasman. The unfamiliar cloud patterns all signaled in her mind a difference from being on the ground looking up at them. She experienced a sensation of championing the skies, as an instrument of curiosity.

Behind The Cold Window
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She couldn't believe how this world was a mess. Her name is Meg. She turned her head away from her father and his room. The girl just walked by in the hallway. She looked on both walls with many photos of herself as an infant to high school graduation. She also looked at the photo between herself and her parents, happy together. Then, she looked outside at that window again.

Unknown but unafraid
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She had always been curious about what lay beyond the walls of the crumbling building they called home. It had been their sanctuary for as long as she could remember, but now it felt like a prison.

Escape to freedom
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She had never left the small, cramped apartment that she shared with her parents and younger brother. The government had strict rules about travel and personal freedom, and the punishment for breaking them was severe.

Through the Porthole
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. The small portholes offered a limited view of the boats bobbing up and down in the anchorage. Tia was only twelve when the bombs decimated the levies, and the ocean washed the city away. She opened the door to peek outside and was swept away as the water carried her home into the sea.

The Realms
The original Cypress Cemetery was an ancient graveyard said to be filled with the bodies of witches, making the graveyard and surrounding lands cursed and the dirt baron. The old Cypress Cemetery became known as the Witches Graveyard as the trees and plants eventually died off, and soon it started affecting the farmlands. The small town became hysterical, neighbors blaming neighbors, and families turned on one other. One day a farmer's eldest son saw a figure go into the woods, so the young man followed. What he saw had him running back to town and straight to the town's clergymen, where the farmer's son recounted what he saw in the woods. A mob was formed that night; they stormed the house of an older woman and her granddaughter. They forcefully took the granddaughter out of her bed and dragged her to the town square. They bound her wrists and ankles to a wooden table, logs placed around it, ready to burn the witch. Her cheeks were stained with tears as they found her guilty of witchcraft. They burned an innocent soul that night. But she did not go quietly, for the townspeople had wronged her. So, with her last breath, she cursed the village that there would be a day when a greater evil would come and destroy the town of Cypress and all who lived there.

In the House of the Wasp. Runner-Up in Behind the Last Window Challenge.
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. There wasn’t a room, of course. At least she didn’t think so. Her vision was just temporarily framed like that – she imagined it was akin to horse blinders.
