Answer #1

I’d think back to the scariest moment of your entire life and then fictionalize that. You can either write it from the perspective of the time, or one that is totally different.

Answer #2

I forgot to say it cant end with a cliffhanger, hmm I think it is a gd idea :) but im not sure how I will be able to write about it xD thx tho! :D

Answer #3

How about recreating a nightmare and then adding the suspense of waking up just before the pivotal moment…but don’t let anyone know it’s a dream until the end.

Answer #4

ahaha thts true :P, didnt really think of it that way :) now I just have to figure out a way how to go around iot :P thxx :D

Answer #5

It’s not technically a cliffhanger because it was a dream, and dreams don’t often have endings ;)
