Guidelines: I started the story in second person present tense, keep it the same for consistency or mix it up.

Remove the synopsis from the chapter so you don’t spoil anyone before they read it.

If the next chapter’s option isn’t written yet, create it yourself! Just remember to end your chapter with at least two options to continue the narrative, or let it be a dead end—your choice.

Use the formatting I started for the options at the end of your chapter— for consistency sake.

Name your chapter after the corresponding option from the previous chapter you're continuing from—Example: Option 1. Option 2. Option 3. Etc.

Happy choosing!

“I love you mom!” You say as you head out the door.

She waves as you unlock your bike. “I love you too sweetie.”

You kick off, peddling for your friend Darren’s house. He invited your friend group over for a sleepover tonight on the first night of spring break. Darren’s parents are so cool; they always let us drink soda and stay up as late as we want.

The air is cool as you make your way to Darren’s house. The amber sun casts long shadows on the ground. Just thinking about tonight sends a shiver down your spine. This is going to be so awesome, you think.

Darren’s large house greets you as you roll up to it. The angular design and large windows give off a very modern feel.

You stand your bike up on the patio, and proceed to walk up the stone steps to the front door. You ring the door bell. After a couple minutes you ring it again—still no answer. You did get here earlier than planned, maybe they did some last minute shopping?

Do You:

Wait on the front steps. (Proceed to next chapter’s option 1)

See if the door is unlocked. (Proceed to next chapter’s option 2)

Or check the back door. (Proceed to next chapter’s option 3)

You Decide to check if the front door is unlocked. You feel weird about just going inside if they’re not home, but you’re not sure what you should do.

You hesitate before reaching out to grab the door handle—it doesn’t budge.
