"I saw what you did last night. And I've told everyone."

Begin a story with this sentence. Create tension and excitement surrounding what the event could be and the repurcussions for your character.

You Did It

I saw what you did that night and I told everyone. I couldn't keep quiet. It was nothing bad, nothing that would have shaken the world, and yet a doubt stirred in me. A doubt about everything, especially about you. Because I saw what you had done, something I would never have believed you could do. I saw how you hesitantly walked back and forth, pressed your ear to the wall, peered through the gap...

A Privileged Witness

“I saw what you did last night. And I’ve told you everyone.” Gary said before walking to his car.


When Gary pulled out of Stan’s driveway, he knew that Stan would want to shut him up. Stan wouldn’t want the police to find out that he was at Leslie’s house while she was vacationing in Europe. It was common knowledge that she was out of the country.


At twenty-nine, Gary had it all. He was a ...

Penny

“I saw what you did last night. And I’ve told everyone” Micheal said.

My eyes widened as I was worried that the truth had slipped out like a frail worm escaping a bloodthirsty bird. But was the only thing bloodthirsty the truth or was truth always the only thing to have ever existed? Micheal should be clueless and he shouldn’t know what actually happened to Penny. Penny was stone dead by the morn...

Don’t Do Things You Can’t Run Away From

“I saw what you did last night. And I’ve told everyone.” I said running away from that psycho he was hunting me down with a large machete. I trip and fell off a clif and landed in the water. As I looked back up at his dull eyes he was not human obviously. Something more cruel something with no remorse something that shouldn’t exist. “Sorry” I whispered as the creature stared at me intently. I star...

You Can’t Trust Everyone

One day as I want to school, it was the first day of school so I was very nervous. Didn’t have any friends at the time, but I made one friend her name is Scarlett. She was nice but the thing is she was friends with someone. I hated Maya she was so rude. She thought that she was so popular. I’m like girl doesn’t mean you have a Stanley doesn’t mean you’re popular so she pulled my hair. I punched he...

Disrespect or Disregard Your Choice!

I saw what you did last night, and I've told everyone! Of course, nobody remotely believed me. I am passionate and have a touch of fantastical. I will write my thoughts down and deal with them in the morning. Since this directly affects you, I feel I'm in a “safe space” with you. Bear with me, as this is unusual! Do you not think it slightly out of character to utter my well-rehearsed and inan...

Dead Weight

“I saw what you did last night. And I’ve told everyone.” That’s what I’ll tell him. It sounds intimidating enough to spook someone as young as him.


He’s got a lot of nerve being so reckless in this neck of the woods. He must have been born just yesterday to be this foolish among humans.

I can’t risk him exposing not just myself but our whole species. We’ve gone this long without bei...

mystery

“I saw what you did last night, and I told everyone.”

I looked down at my phone at the coffee shop I went to every night. My heart started to race as I read the message. My hands started to shake as it made it difficult to type. “I have no idea what you are taking about, who is this?”

“You murdered James Henderson.” replied the random number.

My eyes widened. “Who is this?” I replied again.

Midnight Affairs

“I saw what you did last night. And I’ve told everyone.”


“And?” His tone was cool and confident. “You really think they didn’t know already?”


He plays with a deck of cards in his hands, his back facing me. The only light in the room came from the moon which shone from the window he looked out of.


I hated everything about him. I hated the way he proudly puffed smoke in the air after winning a g...

No I Am Not

“I saw what you did last night. And I’ve told everyone.”

“What! Why! Why did you do that?” Every word causing me to increase my volume to enforce the anger and irritation involved with telling the world about my meeting with my former boss.

“Yes, I did. We all need to know that you met with Mike and that now you are thinking about going back to work for him.”

“No! No you did not. I am not going b...
