Anthology 100 word challenge

Date - 07/04/21

Topic / Title - Stracey’s 100 word challenge

Stracey always wondered why no one ever went into Room 12, Now she knew. 

It’s because the room is dangerous and scary so no one wants to go in there. Then last time someone went in there, they didn’t come back out, no one knows why. But Stracey went to figure out why it’s so dangerous. She slowly walked up to the door, when she opened the door she turned on her flashlight and slowly walked in and there she figured it out, there was a really deep hold that someone dug and everyone who walked into fell into it.
