I am learning to create a mood of mystery by not deliberately telling my reader information.




.

A long long time ago there lived a daughter named Harmony and her dad. They lived in a small city,her dad always stayed in this one particular room.Her dad told her that she was never allowed to go in that room.If she did then she would be banded to go to her friends for a month  and do chores.



One night her dad left the house but before he left she thought that she heard a scream of terror.As her dad left she walked down stairs to see what was going on,”is it in that room”.”Is it outside”.She heard it again it was coming from the forbidden room down stairs.


”I can’t go in”she mumbled to herself,she didn’t really wanted to do chores but this was an emergency,”help,help”she heard a muffled cry.


Later on that day,Harmony went downstairs into the forbidden room.
As she opened the door her brain froze. Suddenly everything went black. After a few minutes she heard someone say ”get up,get up”.In the front of her there were dead people hanging from hooks,their heads were in plastic bags and all she could see was a lady sitting on the chair.I’ll help you she called loudly...As she walked in to go help the lady her dad pulled up,”come on get out before my dad gets in here.Harmony’s dad walked inside “what are you doing in my room”dad said in a bad tempered way,his face looked like a storm cloud.


As it turned out,the lady that was in the room was actually her mum.After that mum called the police and then dad went to jail.Mum and Harmony had a new life at another house in New York City.Where Harmony could go to school and make new friends instead of being with just her mum,and sometimes her friends will stay at Harmonys house.

  2. Yeah, nice twist at the end Gerry. I like your simile "Dad's face looked like a storm cloud" I hope you finish the story you are working on and get that one posted before school is over for the term. Keep up the good work.
