Sacred Writing
"There was no possibility of taking a walk that day"
My car broke down. I could do nothing. My boyfriend drove me away. I couldn't do a thing with my closest friend. No possibility of taking a walk, of having a word with someone. I went home. I sank into the bed and tried to sleep. But useless. There was a call at the phone. Someone mixed up numbers. But only my cat was keeping on purring as nothing had happened.

Sacred Writing
"The need of the forthcoming flight scared me to death"
As there are a lot of aircrashes today I'm afraid of travelling by air and the very word "flight"scares me to death. But I had to be in St.Petersburg last Sunday and there was no possibility of going there by train. An unpleasant inevitability was to be faced with. I booked tickets and was desperately waiting for the hated flight. When I turned up on board, panic overwhelmed me. I was so scared that immediately fell asleep. I woke up in St.Petersburg. I saw the ground and I thought :"Oh, if every flight is so smooth, I'lllike planes soon".

Afternoon pages
The created atmosphere is achieved by transmitting to us,the readers the feelings and the emotional states of the characters. by means of special stylistic devices appropriately and carefully chosen by the author, we embark in the description of nature and weather disasters. It seems as we pass through the severe weather with the main heroes. It is made to reach our souls, to take our breath and make us feel compassionate with the characters.
I remember one extract from the short storey "Three men in a boat" written by J.K.Jerome. But this is an exactly opposite description, a very positive and bright one. There author creates the atmosphere of tranquility, peace and floating happiness describind sweet homes, red bricks and fragrant of bursting flowers.

The task is done perfectly. You stick to the poing from the very beginning of the paper, using lots of adjectives that makes your writings more interesting for reading and more colourful and descriptive. Thanks to the abundance of such adjectives I always can distinguish your written works from anybody else's. Your work combines the full answer on the question and you've build your thoughts logically.
As for the word order and grammatical component of the text I have no comments, in my opinion - there are no mistakes. As for the spelling I would isolate "the readers" by commas. I've found several slips of the pen like in the word "storey". And the last thing: there is an expression "to take our breath" - probably, you forgot to put the particle "away" in this expression.
