I had woken up in a forest, with my hands tied behind my back. As my eyes adjusted, I saw two men sitting by a fireplace. I jumped up and started to run. I didn’t look back but then I heard it; the deafening screams that echoed through the cold night.
Desperate to get away from the monster that had caused the screams, I sprinted between the tall trees, their branches creating a blanket that covered the sky.
Then the night went unnaturally still. I turned to look at what had started chasing me. I realised that the screams had come from what used to be my kidnappers.

Oh my goodness Isobel! What a fabulously horrifying piece of writing! You really know how to create atmosphere through clever use of words and phrases, such as: ‘their branches creating a blanket’ and ‘the night went unnaturally still’.
This prompt was created by a student in my class so I will be sharing this with him as I think that he will like it. Keep on honing your writing skills.

Oh my goodness Isobel, you have created a wonderfully horrifying piece of writing which really fits so well with the prompt. I am delighted about this because the prompt was created by a student from my school, and he will be delighted to see what you have done.
You have a clever way with words and phrases, especially things like: ‘their branches creating a blanket that covered the sky’, and ‘the night went unnaturally still’. Keep on honing your writing skills.
