    I will be using the picture of the bride because it inspires me to write a dramatic story.

    I chose the picture with the boy trying to catch the dove and 'The Scream' as a mixed story base.

    I am writing a story about nearly all of them but not the one with balloons. It is about a girl who runs away from her dream of being a hero but she ends up being a villain. Some of her friends go against her as she tries to be good but it doesn't go right because her dog wolf dies of a sickness but she thinks her dog was murdered . Wolf was her best friend but one of her friends probably killed him on a walk up to the dark castle on top of a slippery muddy hill. Her friends make her run away from her dream as she walk's down a misty dark alleyway but she stopped as she saw....

    I am writing about a person holding his face because my story is about a crime and it has loads of dead people.

    My story is a thriller-romance. It is based on the picture of the girl in the white dress.

    Here is the first paragraph (written in class) :

    I paint my lips with bloody every morning. I am a killer - that is the brutal truth. Every time I kill somebody his death replays in my mind. It doesn't stop. And it never will.

      I like the first paragraph, but maybe change the word 'brutal', because this paragraph sounds like a female assasin, so you want to keep this paragraph quite elegant. The word brutal ruins it. Maybe try vile?

      Thanks for the feedback, but I do quite like the sound of brutal. She was a girl who tortured people, killed them with the blink of an eye. She was in no way merciless - at least, thats the way the 'Evil Queen' type of person made her. (more like 'Voldemort' type of person).

      However, I was unable to give my story back, so I may post it on here.

      ****I paint my lips with blood every morning.******

    My story is a suspense. It is based on the dark castle, surrounded by a murder of crows.
