So i entered a short story for a contest in my school and unfortunately, i left it untitled because i couldn’t come up with a decent title. Now i’m adding it to my writerscafe profile and i want a name that’s catcy and has to do with my story so if you could help, that would be awesome. :]
What it’s about:
it starts off with ‘its raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring…’ Sixteen year old Sienna Hawthorne is an outcast at her new school and she has no intention of making friends, that is until Hayden wont take no for an answer. She unwillingly agrees to let him take her home, as its pouring like no other outside, and on the way to her house, she opens up slightly and begins finding a friend in Hayden. Once they arrive to her house, she invites him to come inside to dry off since they’re both soaking wet still. they go in and sienna goes to her dad’s room to grab some extra clothes he never wore for Hayden. she gets this weird feeling and leaves quickly, closing the door behind her. They are in the laundry room in dry clothes, just talking, when Sienna mentions her mother’s dead and trying to make less awkward conversation, hayden offers to get sienna a cd he thought she might like. when he leaves, all the doors slam and the lights go off, sienna thinks he’s pulling a prank on her but she sees hes still walking to his car. she runs to her dad’s room, thinking theres an intruder but instead she finds her dad dead on his bed with a bottle of anti-freeze on the ground. She picks up the antifreeze and begins hearing voices to kill herself and she sees hayden who tells her to kill herself and the world would be better off without her. just as shes about to drink the antifreeze, she hears a crash and in comes the real hayden who stops her from killing herself. Stuff starts flying around the room and sienna realizes something supernatural is after her. she wants to give up but when something almost hits hayden, she decides she has to end this mayhem. she challenges the thing to appear and her father’s corpse begins to creeping toward the teens and then drops to the ground, where now a demon who is all charred. he wants the two teens dead and just before he gets to them, sienna’s dead parent’s spirits appear along with all the other souls the demon killed and they drag him back to hell. hayden and sienna find a note explaining that the demon had followed Sienna and her family from the first home and her mother killed herself to save sienna but it hadn’t been enough so her father killed himself to save their daughter. it ends with hayden and sienna sitting outside in the porch while the rain is pounding again, waiting for the cops to arrive. there’s a rainbow outside and the last words are:
“it’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring, he went to bed and bumped his head, and didn’t get up in the morning…”
please help! :]
