You know it’s that time of year you love when you’re planning what kind of costume to wear at Halloween, what kind of treats you’re hoping for so that you don’t do mischievious deeds. You’re looking forward to the time when you’ll gather with your friends and begin to weave together a ghost or scary story with ghoulish details that will set you on edge. Here are a few openers to help you imagine your own story:
.There was a loud knock on the door this rainy,dark night and when you opened the door you saw…
.At night, shuddering in his bed, the boy heard some creaks on the stairs that led to his room; suddenly the door opened and a bloody hand reached out…
.”I’ve come to take your life” was the message on the girl’s cell phone, causing her to drop the device. What had she done to deserve such a message?
.Their mother and father sat them down on the soft and the children heard the words, ”We never told you this before, but years ago…”
Have fun; be scary or silly. Just enjoy the act of creating something special from your imagination. Trust in your ability.
