For this strategy I talked about how my characters wouldn'tgive up on trying to find out the truth behind the mystery of what kind of person is their princple and what happened to his kids.
I took this literaly. I made it so that when my characters went back outside, it would be pitch dark. I also made it metaphorical, basically I wanted the reader to understand how errie and creepy the atmosphere of the story was becoming.
For this promt I decided to leave the story with a cliffhanger. I wanted to leave it suspensful and to encourage my readers to keep on reading.
