Open Question: I need help thinking of a short but interesting plot to follow on from this paragraph?
March 13th, 2010 by wood
Here is a rough of the first paragraph - My eyes blink open and I stretch; the house is pleasantly silent. All I can hear is the quiet swoosh of the waves outside. My bedroom overlooks the ocean and each morning I wake up to the sound of seagulls screeching over who gets the old sand-covered sandwich, the chip packet that still has some crumbs or some-other piece of abandoned food. Sometimes I think they squawk just for the sake of waking me up really early. I don’t mind though. I like the stillness of my house before my family wakes up. During the day my mum and dad’s arguing gets so loud that even hiding under my doona and turning my iPod up full blast can’t block it out. My sister Kristy doesn’t even stay at the house. She is always at parties or at her friend’s house experimenting with make-up and talking about boys. I can’t stick boys, especially my little brother Angus. He has scruffy brown hair and his face is usually sporting some disgusting accessory like dry snot or smeared vegemite. Usually I escape the house like Kristy does; only I don’t go to friend’s houses or the shopping centre, I run down to the beach. >>> Problem is I don't know what is supposed to happen. I have ideas but they are too long! This needs to be a relatively short story (about 800 words) and I can't think of a good plot that fits within those word bounderies. What do you think should happen? Please answer I really need help... Best answer 10 points!
