HELLO invisible ghost friends!!
I need help. I am writing a story for a school contest, a spooky story about a ten year old girl.
Any ideas of where to take this??
help greatly appreciated.
If it had been a dark and stormy night it would have fit the setting quite well, however it was not a dark and stormy night. That is the weather for you. Somehow every mad scientist, haunted house, serial killer, or any other horror related story has had the convenience of a dark and stormy night. But for every world renowned book or film there are dozens of stories such as this where the protagonist faced a darkless, stormless, night. Typically tales such as this end up being the most true.
So it was, that Melanie strolled through the darkless, stormless, night, with a pleasant air about herself. But do not, dear reader, let the agreeable weather (slightly chilly, around 45-50° with mist and a drizzle of rain) fool you. Dark things are afoot, they always are, that's the point, for evil never rests. It waits, bideing it’s time until the right moment to pounce.
That pounce was coming, unbeknownst to Melanie.
Melanie was a small girl of about 10 years of age with the pride and confidence that comes when one reaches double digits. She kept her dark hair cropped short like a boys, her gray sweaters loose, and her bright green shoes laced tightly.
btw, there is a 1,000 word limit. (high schools, yk?)
