My class were given a task to write a Halloween themed flash fiction. Due to the word count being 500 words, we had to be exta creative with out writing and make every word count. Mine however, is actually under the word count but because it had to be a short story I didn't see this as a problem.
The story had to be written to suit years 7-9 and was then entered into the school's flash fiction competition. By using different linguistic methods such as; lexis, pragmatics and grammar, I hope that my story fits to all that read it.
I wrote my story about being in the dark because the dark is actually a fear of mine. I thought that this would help me write an accurate story well enough so that the reader feels my fear, too. This is because being scared of it myself I could then write about all of the elements and factors of the dark that make me scared of it; the way it makes me feel, how it takes away one of your senses making you feel highly vulnerable.
