STORY STARTER
Inspired by Kail Cleo
Create a story by writing multiple diary entries from your character (or multiple characters intertwined).
Try to make each entry build from the last to add to the storyline. If you switch perspective, make it clear that it's someone else's journal.
Let Me In.
Monday :))
Dear dairy,
Im trying something new today! Mum says writing will help with my anxiety. I can’t really see how writing to no one will calm me down but I guess It won’t hurt to try. Um.. today was fine I guess. Same depressing classes, same depressing people. I really don’t understand the need to go to school. In our modern day and age, school isn’t about learning, it’s about popularity and love and all that rubbish. I always think about how much time I waste at school. I was walking home today and I calculated it. It’s like atleast a thousand minimum. Oh yea when I finished doing that I was unlocking my front door and I swear I saw someone frantically running away through the window but when I looked back there was no one there. Probably just a dog or something. Anyways I’ll write again tomorrow.
Friday
Dear diary,
Hey. I know I said I was gonna write the next day but to be honest I’ve had the worst week ever. Writing totally slipped my mind. I keep getting this stupid dream that I’m being hunted by the fbi and it gets me everytime. Anyways aside from that my anxiety at school has been getting worse. My meds aren’t working I swear. Mum says I’m over thinking but I swear I’ve been getting more stares at school. I really really wish I could homeschool but mum says education is important. Rubbish I say. Anyways I’m really exhausted I’ll write tomorrow. Promise.
Saturday
Dear dairy,
Okay so today was… weird… I was brushing my teeth after dinner and when I looked in the mirror for a seccond like literally just a seccond, I swear I saw someone… or something standing behind me smiling. Anddddd Ofcourse when I turned around nothing was there. It feels kinda stupid now that I’m writing this down.. am I in some niche horror movie hahaha… yea anyways. I told mum how my anxiety is getting worse and I think my meds aren’t working cuz I always feel like I’m being watched. Maybe it’s because I’m thinking about it more. It’s kinda like you know when you notice something and then you kinda just keep noticing it? Yea… anywyas Mum and me are going to get a differnt prescription tomorrow!! Bye. :)
Sunday
Dear dairy,
Me and mum went to get me a new prescription for my anxiety. I talked to the doctor all by myself and mum said she was proud of me so we got maccas on the way back!! Yea so that was that. I didn’t really do much today other than that. Well now I’m writing this so… oh yea I also got matcha powder today! I’ve been seeing it all over my feed lately and I just made some. Makes me feel organised and aesthetic like the girls online… even though my life is the complete opposite. Now that I think about it I need to clean my room too. Andd I have school tomorrow which I’m really dreading again. The only thing keeping my hopes up is that spring break is not too far away. Anywyas I’m gonna log off today. Good night xx
Monday
Dear dairy,
I wasn’t gonna write today but I didn’t sleep much last night at all. I kept hearing little noises. Scratches, whispers? Idk it could have been the wind. But the weird thing is I swear I heard my name. I sat up so fast my head was spinning. Ofcourse no one was there. I literally got up and checked EVERYWHERE. The window, my closet, under the bed. Nothing. I even started laughing at myself because it was so ridiculous. I couldn’t fall asleep after that so I just lay there with the lights on until the morning so I fell asleep during most of my classes today. Im gonna lock my door tonight. Just in case.
Tuesday
Dear dairy,
I can’t. Im not crazy. Im not. Im not crazy. I can’t be. Today when I came home, I SAW something. This disgusting horrific creature in the corner next to my dresser. It was dark, like kinda shadowy, and it kinda looked like someone stretched it out.. oh lanky.. that’s the word.. and it’s neck was tilted like someoen snapped it. I literally screamed and slammed my door shut. I sat in the living room watching cartoons (yea I know how childish) until mum got home. She just laughed me and told me I’m too old for monsters. That really hurt. Im not making this up.
Friday :(
Dear dairy,
I haven’t been to school since Tuesday. I can’t.
They’re everywhere now, the mirrors, the windows even in the reflection of my own damn phone screen. Their stupid ugly smiling faces smiling at me when I’m not smiling, laughing at me when I’m not laughing. Why me. Why me. Havnt I already gone through enough? Why me. Who ever is out there in charge of the universe or what ever why me? I have to cover all the reflections in my room but now I can hear them scratching behind it. I’m so tired I think I forgot to eat today. Or maybe yesterday. Times starting to blur. Mum thinks I’m crazy haha.
Saturday ;):():)/((
Dear dairy,
Theyr in the walls. Theyr whispering all the time now. I try to cover my ears and block out the noise but I still hear them. They know my name. They know everything I’m thinking. I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time in ages but it wasn’t me. She was smiling, wide and wrong a.. and her eyes were so.. they weren’t my eyes.. that’s not me.. she screamed to let her in. I opened the window. Just a little. They crawled in. I didn’t know they could move like that haha. They were like liquid… they’re here now. Im hiding under the bed in the dark. Im writing this with the light from my phone. I can hear them breathing. It reeks in here. Theyr in the room. Theyr right next to me. Oh god I think they’re her-
