Narrative

Hello for the past few weeks we have been doing narrative writing. First we watched a video clip then we followed on the video by writing a narrative. Our narrative could only be 200 words long.

The mountain dirt road

“Breaking news: 20 people found dead on Cliff Road in the past 2 days. One of the officers on the case has been on the case for a few hours tracking fingerprints”  The officer reports a man in a red mask, goggles, and a black suit walking around. 

Peter walked up to the man and flashed his badge. "I have a few questions for you," the officer said.  The officer asked Riley the questions and he went to his car to write it down. As he is writing it down in the car Riley starts running to the nearest gas station

  Riley gets to the gas station but acts naturally. Karen thinks Riley looks suspicious so she calls him up to see what he's doing because he has been in there for almost an hour just wandering around. Riley takes off his red mask and Karen asks many questions which annoys Riley so he shoots her and runs outside.

  Then Riley ran out and started running to the cake shop. When he got into the cake shop he put on his red mask. Mark looks at him suspiciously because he saw on the news that someone in a red mask has been on the scene of the crashes. He looks at the pictures of his newspaper and it looks like him. Mark also sees that there has been a report of Karen dead in the newspaper. Mark decides that Riley is the person who killed Karen and the people off Cliff Road so Mark shoots Riley.
