WRITING OBSTACLE

Consider the language, mood, themes etc that are typical to each genre, to create a twisted new style!

STORY STARTER

Write a suspenseful scene, in a story of any genre.

You are writing a single scene, so you do not need to provide backstory or outcome, but your characters and plot should still make sense. Consider the elements of suspense, like pace, atmosphere, motivations, and stakes.
