Short Story

This is a short intro that I wrote for my creative writing class :)

The stairs creaked underneath my scurrying feet. This was typical, but today it sounded foreign even to my knowing ears. The sunrise barely leaked through the windows; but it was there just enough to see the shadows. I grabbed my wool coat off of the wooden rack carefully placed by the door. I pulled it on my shivering body. The sense of security the coat gave me lasted for a brief second, but left as soon as  I remembered. I remembered what I was about to do. The warmth left my body as soon as it had come. Today was the day. I opened the front door and a dark crisp wind came pouring at me; causing my hair to get as twisted as my stomach.  I took one brave step knowing what the next couple of hours would hold. I closed the door behind me, quickly; knowing if I didn’t do it now I never would. I took one more step, and then another. I felt the crunch of the snow sticking to the bottom of my feet, adding to the dread I already felt in my chest. But once I began I knew I could never look back. Ever. And that was exactly how it all started.

i love how descriptive it was!! It sounded like a horror story at the beginning.

i like how descriptive this is. I actually felt like I was the character going through those motions.
