Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
"Take care, dear"mom says as she is putting on her shoes. & dad adds, "I lock the door for more safety, sweetie, bye” & they go. I love the times that I’m alone at home. I’ve always loved it. When I’m alone I can do everything. There are no more orders to do. I can watch movies with loud sound, I can listen to the music with a terribly annoying sound, I can litter where ever I want. As I ‘m thinking of these sweet things which I’m planning to do, the phone rings…
Okay...well..this is off to a nice start here...pretty standard sounding family there..we've got the parent leaving for the day and the child is excited to spend a few hours alone being able to do as they please. Seems like a pretty normal start there...and the start of what is potentially going to be a bit of exciting and good natured chaos...but well...the phone ringing seems to indicate otherwise...nice touch of mystery there to end this first paragraph on.
"I left my purse behind, put it in the elevator” "OK, mom, bye" I find the purse on the couch, going toward the door. The door doesn’t open. What’s wrong with it? Oh I remember that dad’s locked it. Finding my own keys takes a while, mom calls again, I don’t pick up the phone I know what she wants. I go to stairs the lights are all off. It’s winter so when my feet touch the floor of outdoor a freezing cold comes to my bones. The red light of the elevator shows "G". I press the button, waiting for it to come up. It comes I put the purse in it and send it down. The phone rings again. I get in the home. Lock up the door and leave the keys on the door.my party is going to start. The phone rings. I pick it up this time saying" I put it in the elevator, mom" I hear a baby laughing. Who is it? Wait! I hear a man laughing. "Hello?" no answer. It might be a child playing with a cell. Dialing a wrong number or something. It has to be. Because if it doesn’t so who is it? I hang it up, trying not to think about it. These things happen a million times. It’s not so strange. I run toward my first target. Kitchen! Then…the electricity goes off. I stop in my way, feeling that freezing cold again. Should I be frightened now? No it’s nothing of course. I go to my room, find the flashlight of mine and press its button hoping that the battery’s ok. Fortunately it works; a childish happiness comes to me. What a relief! I want to call mom and dad but I don’t want to make them worry for nothing. Wait a minute! I hear something! What is it? A sound of moving something little… it’s the keys. The keys which I put them on the door. They are shaking as well as the door. Oh God what the hell it is? I see rays creeping from beyond the door. Someone is out there. I hear steps. Suddenly something hits the door hard. But I feel warmth, unusual warmth. It’s coming up from my feet, something liquid. I draw the beam of the flashlight toward the floor. It’s red. It’s hot. And here something inside me makes me shout “it’s blood" …
Okay...well, very chaotic last paragraph right there...I daresay this one is a bit too much of a giant clump here, cause soo many things happen here, and it just kind of turns this thing into a confusing mass of text here. This definitely needs to be split up into paragraphs at each of the points that something different happens, and that will really allow there to be a sort of progression of the fear here as each new thing is discovered.
Anyway, the chaotic progression of this piece aside however, we have a pretty nice progression going on here. There's a really nice little descent from things turning from a regular errand to blood and screaming and just general terror there....this really does escalate quite nicely...you just need to split up some paragraphs to really catch that to its full potential here. At any rate this was a pretty good start here to a story. It seems like something I would continue to read here.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
