I peered out the window and saw that the whole neighborhood
was covered in snow. Snow flakes fell slowly from the sky. (If it’s description with
which you preferred opening your story, then add a bit of more to
depict snowy weather condition to be able to sound mature in writing.) I had a severe headache so I took
some painkillers to ease the pain. I went (Use descriptive verb here. The one you applied is
talkie verb) to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate when I got a call from my
girlfriend (avoid
mention of girlfriend since it’s odd in our society and religion). As I was about to pick it up, it
ended. I tried to call her but her phone was off which was odd.
I took my gun with my badge and headed towards the car but
unfortunately the car’s battery had died. (Taking gun is too abrupt here. You need to develop
solid background first as what was that something that really made you feel so very aggressive. Justify it
to make it sound maturer.) My mind
was ticking like a time bomb (Why? How did you sense and decide that the girl was
essentially in trouble? We need enough evidence first) and no painkillers could stop it.
Mona’s place was a block away from mine. I had no choice but to walk. The snow was very thick and it was difficult for me to
walk. I was already struggling through the snow
when it started to snow very heavily (Avoid repeating the same
word, that too in such a narrow space. Show variety in vocabulary.) It seemed as if a blizzard was about to come. I was almost
there when I saw a man walk into mona’s house (‘Mona’ is proper noun. Write it with capital
initial: ‘M’). I took my
gun out and started to walk faster because I couldn’t run in this blanket of snow. I finally reached her house.
As I entered her house I shouted “Mona!” and
that’s when something struck my head. It was mona (again with capital ‘M’). She struck my head with the baseball bat (why?) and
that’s when that man came (Use
descriptive verb here to show the manner of his coming). The man pointed the gun at me. He cocked the
gun and said “Goodbye john” (Use
capital ‘J’). Mona kissed me one last
time and that’s when I jumped out of the window and disappeared in the snow.
The snow was merciful to hide me. (Why did the man point
that gun at you? Who was he? What was the situation like? Why was Mona alone at
home? We don’t find a single word about her family? Justify her being alone
there. The ending leaves many questions unanswered. Provide us an improved
version of the story, and of course with a title as well.)
