: She was sure this is where she had left him"


Susan began her day like any other day school, basketball, and home. Little did Susan know this would not be an ordinary day? When Susan came home from basketball she took a shower and went to the kitchen to find her some food for diner. Her mother was working a late shift at the hospital and wouldn't be home until she was sleeping. While Susan warmed up her food she heard a noise outside her door that sounded like metal being rubbed against another piece of metal. What was that noise? Susan thought. Curious Susan decided to go outside and look to see if anything was there. Susan stepped outside and found nothing. Hmm that’s odd Susan thought. That's when she heard the microwave going off inside and was reminded that her food was ready.
Opening the door Susan went to go inwhen out of nowhere she was grabbed from behind. The person had grabbed her arms tightly and wouldn't let go Struggling with her attacker was useless for whoever grabbed her was strong, but she couldn't give up for she feared her life was in danger. Susan kicked, shoved, and swung at the air. Her attacker had managed to get Susan's arms behind her back and tied. Susan knew it wouldn't be long until the attacker had completely subdued her. Putting all her might she had managed to kick her attacker in the stomach right where she was aiming for. She thought she could buy enough time to run and try to get away from them and to safety. The attacker crumbled to the floor crying out in pain. Susan took that moment to sprint into the house and managed to close and lock the door with her hands tied behind her back. She grabbed a knife from the kitchen counter and cut the rope off her hands freeing them. Scared Susan went to go to the phone was when she noticed someone coming through the back door. In her moments of terror she realized she forgot to lock the back door.  
Susan ran outside and went straight to the woods that surrounded her house knowing she had no neighbors and the only place around for miles was nothing but woods. Susan ran faster than she ever thought possible crying and wheezing along the way. After running for quite some time she realized her attacker wasn't pursuing her. She stopped running and felt an eerie calm settle over the woods. That was when a male went shooting out of the bushes lunging toward her and in his hand he carried a knife. She knew that if she wanted to survive that she would have to kill him and resolve came upon her. Her and her attacker began wrestling and she managed to pry the knife away from him. Using all the force she could muster she took the knife and plunged it into his heart. He dropped to the forest ground and soon he was dead. Susan was scared and didn't know what to do so, she dug for an hour and put the man’s body in the ground and covered him up with dirt.
          Several days had paced since the incident and Susan had told no one. She barely had gotten any sleep for she feared her attacker would come back to life and come for her. One dreadful night as she lay in her bed trying to sleep she stood up having enough. She would have to see where she buried the attacker’s body for closure. She grabbed a flashlight and put on her sandals and headed into the forest in the dead of night. Susan came across the place she had buried the attacker and she seen that there was an empty hole. She was sure this is where she had left him. Frightened she looked around adrenaline racing through her veins. She heard an eerie sound that sounded like metal being rubbed against metal.
The End

  1. Your story sounds like it could be real . It gives you the feeling that she's going to continuously keep getting attacked. I like how you set the mood and the setting.
