Hunny is a dark-haired girl in black lace clothing, silver jewelry, and black platforms. She likes watching scary movies and crime shows. Hunny dissects animals, such as rabbits, and follows up on crime scenes. Hunny strolls through the woods, searching for another dead rabbit to bring to the fair. She reaches for a dead rabbit and trips over a rock. Face down on the ground, she sees an underground wooden door. The song "This Place Is Death" by Deftones plays inside. She opens the door and goes down the ladder. The black bed and twinkly lights amuse Hunny, as do pictures of crime shows with clothes all around the floor, but the smell of rotting, dead flesh lingers. She keeps looking around the underground house; she notices a red liquid on the walls, the floor, and all over her body. Suddenly, the twinkly lights turn off. She trips over something cold, sees a candle, and picks it up. Picks herself up with fear of what she will find. With shaky hands, she touched around the cold, non-blood, small object. Then, she places the light close to the cold object. She stands in disbelief. SHE WAS STANDING OVER HER DEAD BODY.
I came up with this short story after watching a lot of murder, serial killer, and documentary movies. The movies always show how the killer thinks, and I watched to switch it up to the victim's point of view. The center of gravity is the part where she finds out that her body is the one she is looking at. It is a mind-blowing scene when she finds out that she is dead and examines her murder.
The structure of the story was meant to leave questions open at the end, to keep your thoughts going. I used a lot of imagery because it's the main point of the story. The part where she is walking all over and touching the blood that would turn out to be her own blood. The type of literary technique I used was hyperbole because of the ending when I said, “IT WAS HER DEAD BODY.” It's in bold words because it's a plot twist and because she didn't know she was walking into her murder scene. The process I had was just looking back at my movies and shows that relate to it. I also took some tips from ethical loneliness but without logic and sympathy. Some challenges I had were if I wanted to make it long and if I wanted to keep the questions open. I overcame the problem by asking my teammate for advice, and she told me to change it up, and so I did. I also used the poem we read where he put the words together because it added more of an effect to it.
