Vivid characters: Craft three distinct characters with clear internal traits (e.g., motivations, fears) and external cues (e.g., speech patterns, body language), inspired by the document’s exemplars (Holly, Naveed, Lila).
Atmospheric setting: Create a dynamic, sensory-rich attic environment that amplifies tension (e.g., storm effects, creaking floorboards).
Symbolic element: Include a symbolic object (e.g., the lunchbox or its contents) that evolves in meaning, reflecting a theme like memory, secrecy, or history’s impact.

Bib, Bob and Bab are triplets, and they go to B Public School, which only enrols students with names starting with the letter B. Bib, the eldest sibling, is a scaredy cat and is afraid of the slightest sound one can hear. This is the opposite of Bob, the youngest of them three, who likes challenges and is not afraid of anything in the world. Unfortunately for Bab, who doesn’t care about anything at all, is always in conflict with his two brothers’ decisions.
One day, while the triplets were in school, a huge tornado swept across the school causing the ten-story building to shake uncontrollably. Bib, Bab, and Bob happened to be in the computer lab, on the top floor of the building, for detention. As expected, Bib crawled under the desk with his eyes closed and hands covering his ears, whilst Bob eagerly peeked out the computer lab window to see what happened. Soon after, a thunderous CRASH! BOOM! BANG! was heard from the ceiling of the computer lab. In the corner of the room, a hidden attic entrance was also revealed. Taking the opportunity, Bob excitedly exclaimed, “Let’s check out the attic!”. Bib disagreed and Bab didn’t know what to say or do. Convinced, both Bob and Bab later dragged Bib to the attic to see what was happening.
As the three entered the storm-lashed attic, they noticed a lot of spider webs hanging around old tin boxes, which were scattered all over the floor. However, a glowing sealed tin lunchbox that was in the middle of the room caught Bib’s attention, causing him to hide behind Bab. Without a thought, Bob decided to pry open the sealed lunchbox. Just as he opened the tin, a blindingly bright white light shone through the room and the three siblings found themselves back in the computer lab, at the start of detention!

Detective Dog was staring at the table leg, it had fox teeth marks on it, “Mr. Frady stole the cake.” he spoke. Detective Dog was like the new Sherlock homes. On Friday, the 17th of March 2025 Detective Dog had a case solved. Have you seen the great wall of China talk, well Detective Dog will.
That day he was already having a bad day he stubbed his toe on the traffic light and when he was just planning to go to the park in started raining. When he sat to relax the phone rang! Mr. Bear was calling to tell him that his museum just got robbed. The robber robbed a ancient map of the great wall of China, it had where the soldiers stood, and it had the history of it. The museum had been a place for schools to learn about the great wall of China but without its map no one will want to come there. Mr. Bear was hopeless.
Detective Dog hatched a plan to find it. He knew that the map got out by itself because there was no broken glass anywhere. “To the great wall of China!” said the detective. When they reached there, they saw the map merging with the great wall of China. “Wait!” Mr. Bear yelled. “What do you want?” replied a booming voice. “Can we borrow the map please.” said Dog politely. When they got the map, the skies cleared to let a beaming light come thru. They photocopied it and putted it back in its display. The museum was as busily as it was, and Dog got to relax.
