“What was that? Who’s there?â€
The girls clutched at each other in fear. Being there was against the rules and every creak and whisper set their hearts a-flutter.
“You go first . . .â€
“No, you . . .â€
They jostled in the doorway, but stopped suddenly.
“What are you girls up to?â€
They knew that voice – Mother Angelica had caught them sneaking through the convent. There’d be trouble now for sure.

The Trifextra challenge this week was to take a previously published 33 word submission and build on it by adding another 33. The above is from my July 28th entry YA Mystery. While this is not exactly where I had thought to take the original 33 words, it is a tale close to my heart. And THAT is a whole ‘nother story.
🙂
Not what I would have thought either. 🙂
Ha! That’s a little less mysterious but it does remind me of all the trouble I got up to as a kid.
You’re making me wish they prompted 333 more!
Were they punished? I hope not. A little fun, a little mystery. I like it.
The continuation of the story is seamless and, of course, you have left us hanging! Well done.
I love the continuation here. It has a different feel than just the original 33.
A convent? Definitely not what I expected. Nice twist.
