Title of Work: : Locked Doors (Short Story, Ghost)
Author of Work: : SueVN
Date: : July 12th

Plot:
Two girls enter a deserted house and have to escape.

Scene/Setting:
Two girls have accepted a dare to enter what is supposed to be a haunted house. As they enter, the front door slams shut and will not open. All the windows on the bottom floor are boarded up, so Stacy goes upstairs to see if she can find a way out. When she gets to the first room the door slams shut in her face. Kate who is down stairs screams her name. Before going back down stairs Stacy enters another room and finds a window which is nailed shut. She goes back down stairs and drags Kate up to the room with the shut window. As they enter the room the door slams shut on them. Kate decides to lock it because they hear the stair creaking as if someone is coming up them. There is no lock on the door. Stacy finds an old paint can and throws it threw the window. The girls climb out and climb down a nearby tree. When they are hiding, and old lady tells them they should stay away from the old house because the man who used to live there killed his sons.

Characters:
Stacy
Kate
Old woman

Suggestions:
Interesting story. It has all the elements of a horror/ghost story. You have two helpless (clueless) young girls, a supposedly haunted house, doors slamming shut and locking with no one around, seemingly no immediate way out, creaking stairs, and tension. You used the few words you had to work with, in a great way.
