Need story ideas?

Question

I like a story with killing but it has to be quite long (my story has to be 300 words and is currently at 100) I neeed help to reach 300. It would help if u have examples of books with killing.

Answer 1

The first 100 words are the hardest, as you are finding out. I can remember when I was a young journalist and my hands would shake as I pulled out my notebook wondering how I would begin.

Why don't you simply google the word: killing. Then take it from there. Don't plagiarize (copy what someone else has written). You might get caught, but more importantly you won't get the satisfaction of having written the story.

I'll start you off with the entry from Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia:

Kill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Look up kill, killing in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

This article is about the act of ending a living being's life. For other meanings, see Kill (disambiguation) or Killing (disambiguation)

To kill, or killing means to cause the death of a living organism.

The act of killing an animal or plant life form can be said to have occurred when an outside force, usually another life form, has done something to cause it to die. This may be a result of several actions:

* a deliberate action such as war
* in the case of animals, slaughter; see slaughterhouse
* the result of a criminal act, the action or fault of another human being, see homicide and murder
* the results of an accident, such as a car crash. See negligent homicide
* an organism consuming another organism

Synonyms

The words kill, murder, execution and assassination all signify acts which deprive of life.

* The concept of killing is the most general of the four, with no implication of the manner, justification, or purpose of killing, or nature of what is killed, whether human being, animal, plant, or other object considered to possess life.
* To murder is to kill either immorally, unjustly and without proper reason, or with premeditated intent.
* To execute is to kill a person marked for death by the state, in a manner sanctioned by that state, whether by law or decree.
* To assassinate is to kill a person marked for death, usually with the intent of furthering ideological or political goals.
* to eradicate is to destroy, rid of anything completely and most cases brutally

Answer 2

Well, I have a plot you could base you're story off of:

One day a Masqurade was taking place (if you don't know what that is, by all means look it up) and a woman and man meant. Through the hours they learned about eachother though tried to avoid one another because they were both married (opional, fix it with whatever) but a man disliked the woman for whatever reason and stabbed her when the lights went out for an announcement. When the lights returned back on, the womans mask was off and the man discovered that he was really flirting with his wife the whole time, and remembers just how much he loved her through these tough years. Now that she is dead, he will need to track down his lover's murderer.

Books:

Mystery and thrillers tend to have death about..

Answer 3

Add more characters or more details. 300 words isnt a lot to write. An average page is 250 words so you are talking about writing slightly over one page. You can handle it. Pax - C

Answer 4

300 words? That's hardly anything.

Try the Gospel of Mark.

Answer 5

try looking at some classical sources & modifying them to fit your story. Ballads in particular are good--a lot of them are quite bloody. Myths & fairy tales, too.
But the others are right--300 words is nothing.
