“What was that? Who’s there?”

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 . . .”

“No, you . . .”

They jostled in the doorway, but stopped suddenly.

“What are you girls up to?”

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.

  3. You’re making me wish they prompted 333 more!

  4. 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.
