Writing : fiction—scripts for live classes
Narrator : You all trudge along, with heavy feet and tired minds, towards A's house. She seems to live in a house thats much more closed off than the others. Fully cemented, boxy in nature, with hardly any win dows and a low cieling. She seems relieved to be back home, and you all follow her through the door in a single file. suddenly you hear loud screech from inside!
Narrator: A's uncontrollable wails pull you to the room they are coming from, and what you see inside shocks you. A is kneeling down beside a body that has to be none other than Mr. X, from the descriptions A had given you about him. His body, pale cold and limp, showed signs of distress. He had been bludgeoned across the head, and blood was everywhere. You wait a while to allow A to grieve, and what happens next is unexpected. A turns around, anger etched in her eyes.
A: AAAAHHHHHH!! Oh my god, what is this... how? why?
A: We need to find out who did this. Why I was sent away. Mr. X did not deserve this. nor did I. He was a good man. We lived nothing but a quiet life. There has to be some clue, some evidence. This is not right.
Narrator: A dashes to her desk, snugly fit on the corner of the room, and starts rummaging. You join her, searching the cupboards, the couches, and the fridge. When suddenly A stands still. You all look at her, and she slowly turns around, her hand trembling, clutching a note. It is addressed to "if something were to ever happen to me.". You open it to see a paper with just 7 words on it. "Find the book in the abandoned factory."
