Opening Lines / Words
I thought it was going to be the best day of my life until ... It had been going so well until ... I was so excited ... We arrived just in time. Have you ever felt .... I could hear a strange ... I couldn't hear a thing ... I could hear the squeaking of our stairs ... Rain was beating against my bedroom window, so loudly that I couldn't hear myself think. There were only two of us left ... My best friend started crying. I jumped when ... I was just turning around when mum screamed, "Stop!" It was so cold I couldn't feel my toes. My surprise turned to horror when ... I thought it was a dream and kept waiting to wake up. I tried not to smile ... My mum turned a deep shade of red. My face turned red with embarrassment ... "Stop pinching me!" I ran as fast as I could and didn't dare look back. It was so dark I couldn't see a thing. I froze in fear. "Shhh!" I hissed. |
