Answer 1

Okay.... start the story with a woman walking down a path. It's nighttime, windy, trees etc. She sees something horrible like a dead body concealed in the undergrowth (she can see it's bloody leg stumps sticking out from some leaves). So she panics and runs home, but someone is chasing her. She can't see anybody, but she knows they're there... Once home, she cowers behind the door which then starts getting hit as though someone's trying to knock it down (the thing that was chasing her). Suddenly the noise stops. She sees a silhouetted figure glide past the window towards the back door. She should run and lock it but she's frozen with fear... She just cowers there in the darkness, her face hidden behind her knees hoping it doesn't get in.


As she's sitting there with the thing tapping on the window and the wind howling, she enters a dreamstate. In it, the floor is burning and the fire is pinning her into the corner, her only escape is the door she's leaning against, but the monster/whatever is outside waiting for her.

Just as the fire has her pushed right against the wall, from the rear of the house she then hears a window smash (this wakens her from the dreamstate). Her body begins to burn up...

[now you gotta leave it on a cliff hanger]

She sits for maybe 10-15 seconds (seems like forever) staring towards the back room. The entire house is dark,there is no sound anymore, not even from the wind, all she can hear is her heart beating at her ear drums. Then a shadow slowly moves into the light on the floor (light from the moonlight shining through a window) coming from the back room where the window was smashed...

[you can end it here if you want to.]

--------

Notes:

1) don't give it a corny ending, for example don't have her run in to find it's only a cat or something stupid like that. Just leave the reader guessing.

2) don't write any dialogue for your character. Instead concentrate on describing everything. It's the description that sells the story. Describe the trees outside, the moon, the wind, the cobbled path which is hard to run on etc.

3) lots and lots of similies/metaphors.

For example, say 'she screamed, a scream as loud as yellow on a black canvas', right after describing the moon (yellow) on the black sky (the canvas).

Another - describe the tree branches (all the leaves have fallen, it's autumn, slight chill - the wind) as 'twisted fingers', then right after she screams after seeing the body, say something about her feeling fingers grabbing the back of her hair... link them together.

-- use the fire in the dreamscape as a metaphor for her fear of the monster thingy- it's trapping her, too afraid to move, but she knows she should move or else she's dead

-- important - never describe the monster/thing chasing her. She never sees it,for 2 reasons. 1, she's too afraid to look at it, and 2, it's more mysterious. Notice in movies they never show you the whole monster or it just ruins it. Don't say what it is - if it's something supernatural or a guy, it doesn't matter.

-- use the 5 senses. this is a descriptive story, so sell the sound of the wind, the taste of the moisture in the air etc.

... that should get you going...

Answer 3

You could always write about a girl that is trying to write a scary story for her assignment, but she keeps feeling like someone is watching her. The feeling of being watched starts to get stronger and she can't tell if the sounds she is starting to hear are real or just her imagination running away with her.

She decides to write about what is happening to her: a girl doing her homework that is being watched because she is really scared and and can't think of an idea. Now the noises are feeling so real that she is really afraid that she is either being watched for real or she is loosing her mind.

She decides to get up and get something to drink to take her mind off of what she is thinking, but she can't stand up. The words of her story that she was writing about what she was experiencing start to write themselves on the screen. She is totally freaked out. The screen is telling her that she is getting sleepy, sleepy, sleepy. She is terrified but she starts falling asleep against her will, terrified that she will never wake up if she does.

"RING!!!!!!!"

Her alarm brings her back to reality and it is morning. And if she needed to be afraid, she was now. She was looking at a blank screen and only had ten minutes to get to class to hand in her story that had never been written.

Well, the first thing to do is choose a problem, and then were its gonna be. Like u could have the problem be a Ghost child that just won't stop bugging the guy who murdered her. and then have it be in the muderers house or something. Choose the chatactors names and personalities and how they look. Have like the climax be when the ghost attempts to like murer the guy who killed her or something.
Try to build on that. Good Luck and drink lots of caffine

Answer 9

How about talking about being stuck in a car accident, with no one around. Talk about what you're feeling that you're alone and being close to dying. It's different, you could have gross injuries and things like that.
