Use the following dialogue as a springboard to your story:
“What do you mean you don’t hear it?”
“Hear what?”
“Over there. Listen.”
“What am I supposed to be listening to?”
“You don’t hear it?”
“No.”
“Then you’d better stay here.”
“Why?”
“Because I just heard my name.”

 


Heather Wright's work has been published in local and national publications and on the Web. Her column “Write Angles,” published in What If? Canada’s Creative Magazine for Teens, became the basis of her book, Writing Fiction: A Hands-On Guide for Teens.
