Peter And The Lost City
842 words
BY ANGEL MENDOZA email me at a please Last year,
Peter looked for a lost city. It was in the Amazon
jungle. He didn't fly. The plane was too
expensive. He took a bus to Spain and a ferry to
Africa. He crossed the dessert by camel. He did
not find the lost city. He looked at his map and
saw a mistake. The Amazon wasn't in Africa. It was
in South America. So he decided to take a boat to
Brazil. The boat was old, but it did not sink. The

on power when he pronounced, "Moscow, would be
saved not by pity, but by cruelty" (Massie 255).

Although climbing the same black, rusted stairway
to his third floor Brooklyn apartment reminded him
of the absence of luxury in his life, Peter was
nevertheless happy to return home to his loving
lady after a grueling day of masonry. Spending
eight hours on your knees, hunched over a slab of

common criminals and political offenders by

centuries of Russian imperial rule, punishment
varied significantly from czar to czar. Different
styles of interrogation and justice were prevalent

punishment and torture wer...
