106 Words - Mystery Box


 I opened the door, making a creak as I stepped inside. The coldness in the mansion sent a shiver down my spine. Dusty old newspapers and artefacts surrounded the old vast mansion. There it was the same dejected mystery box that lay on the floor, untouched. I reached towards it, questioning whether to open it or not. Shaking like a leaf, I had made my mind up…but when I lifted the lid… I fell into the box. “NO!” I screamed. Darkness surrounded me. Down,  down I finally reached the bottom with a loud THUD. Out of nowhere there was a loud growl. “I’ve been expecting you.”

  1. Amazing story, Leah. I really like the part when she hears the loud grow.

  2. Writing in the first person made the story feel very immediate, as if I was there. Good story, Leah.

  3. Hi Leah - what a fabulous 100wc! Truly excellent writing! I'm trying to wrack my brains to make a suggestion for an improvement, but it's proving to be rather tricky! The only thing I could spot is a little missing punctuation in the forth sentence - pop a colon in there to introduce the second part of the sentence: 'There it was: the same...'
    Excellent writing!
