WRITING OBSTACLE

Write the climax of a murder mystery story without any reference to the victim or the crime itself.

The climax can be defined as the point in the story with the highest tension and stakes. How will you drive the story without mentioning the crime?

Box

The silent taps started, around midnight with a slow noise

Was it the sound, of someone’s cane or a bunch of boys


Strang new visitors, and guests were here for a big feast

Some traveled from the far lands, and some from the east


Colorful tan suitcases, of mystery appeared on the parlor floor

Pink and gold hat boxes, and a box shaped like a gun in past war


Side by side, snidely looking glances were thrown across the room

Mystery surrounds them that night, with the air full of dark gloom
