Ok, I need your guys' help with something. I am writing this short story for creative writing, but I don't know where to take it. I have an (in my opinion) amazing intro, but I don't know what to do with it. Please read it, and help me decide where to take it, and how to get back to this scene. And I need a title, I'll probably do that later, though. Oh, and I can have up to 15 pages double spaced. :) So I want it looooong.
When I opened my eyes, it was just as dark as it was with my eyes closed. I could not even see my hands tied up three inches away from my face. My shallow, fast paced breaths echoed through my head. The hairs on my body were plastered in a muddy, sweaty, bloody mess. The hair on my head sprawled every which way, clinging to the smell of cigarette smoke. My feet were swollen and screaming in anguish to be released from their excessively tight binding. I could hear low voices mumbling from down the hallway. My naked body shuttered in fear. I attempted to call for someone, but my mouth was stuffed with some type of cloth. I wracked my brain to try and remember what happened to me fragile body; why I was in a dank dark room tied up, bloody, sore, and naked.
So that's my intro. Now where do I go? I'm thinking of talking about those two days before (spoiler alert) she got kidnapped. I'm also thinking about making those two days slowly start to get creepier and creepier: stalker calls, bad gut feelings, scary letters in the mail, etc. etc. But I don't want it to be like any other story that has this same plot, more or less.
Help guys! Thanks.
I'll have to think about this one for a bit, Sams. Let's talk later.
