Leah and Mary

Leah and Mary W are together in a mystery short story.

-------------------

Okay Leah and Mary W!

Here are the rules!

---------------

Follow all Cricket rules!

Please no fighting!

Please, don't one person write the whole story! Work it out between you if your gonna write one section each, one person be the editor and add detials, etc! But remember, this is a teamwork thing! No writer left behind! :D

Keep the story pg!

A short story means it's between 200-2000 words.

Keep to your genre!

:) Thanks, guys!

Awesome! Well, Mary, what shall we write about? In mystery wise, of course.

Hmmm... what say you? My only request is please: no teenage sleuths. They're so overused that it's not even funny. And no cutesy Bobsey-twins-esque characters either.

I agree with you.  Do you have any preference to what to write about?  I really don't.

Basically just that... I mean, this isn't really gettting us anywhere, but I've got no particular preference.

Okay.  How about we . . .*shakes head* I really don't know.  Why don't we just make up a beginning sentence and see where that goes?  Maybe this one will work.

As Rusty ran, he looked behind him.  They were gaining.
