Writing Prompt: The Dark Creepy Basement
Saturday, December 12th, 2009
Ever watch a scary movie and want to scream at the idiot that hears a sound in the dark creepy basement so has to go down, with a faulty flashlight, to see what made the sound?
Well, here is your chance to explain just why an otherwise sane non-suicidal character might do such a thing when their buddies have been dropping like flies at the Raid factory.
Write out a scene where your protagonist goes into the basement to investigate a sound. Your story must have:
* a faulty flashlight that won’t stay lit
* characters that have disappeared over the past few hours/days
* creaky step on the basement stair
* a logical reason the protagonist went into the basement
