Children's writing: The Staircase - by Reyansh

Your task was to create tension by describing a character moving up a staircase - and what a great job you have made of this, Reyansh! You start by describing the room, which suddenly goes dark. Then shadows dance and the spiralled stairs, which look like a maze, wobble. This is the start of your character's petrifying journey. Wow!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful writing.

Let's read ...

The Staircase - by Reyansh

The staircase was as dull as a dark day; the room was lit by a lamp. Things and scaly eggs were cluttered all over the place. Reyansh (who had no idea where he was) was confused why there was a parrot, some eggs, a map, a skull and a treasure chest. Suddenly, the room went dark… He was surrounded by darkness; he was feeling petrified.

Shadows danced and the stairs (which were as spiralled as a maze) wobbled for five minutes, which seemed like hours and hours, and when it stopped it made a creaking noise. He felt lodged.

Reyansh was dared to go up the medieval stairs, so he went. Ghosts were shouting and screaming until he had reached the top . There was nothing so Reyansh went through a door and suddenly he was in a new land.
