A story - part I

Please find below the first part of a story that we're going to write together over the course of a few weeks. Each student will be asked to write a part of it (word limit is 120-200 words). Let me begin...

He was going to head for Sweeney’s Bar in Dame Street now, so he downed the remainder of his double Bushmills in one quick gulp. A friend of his was playing an acoustic gig upstairs there in fifteen minutes. He stood up and left O’Neill’s through the bar door on Suffolk Street with a cig tucked in the corner of his mouth. He was trying to light it when he noticed his ex standing in front of the bar and chatting to some girl. He immediately turned around and jumped back into O’Neill’s hoping she hadn’t seen him. “Sean!” he heard just before the door closed behind him. “Shit!” he thought, “She saw me.” He rushed through the Friday night crowd swarming around the bar and headed for the lounge door instead. He thought he would escape that way. And so he did.

A story - part IX (by Daniela)

George told Peter that the first and most important thing to do was to check if there were any clues in Katy’s apartment. It could help to understand what was happening.
So Peter decided to go in search of a clue as soon as possible. When he arrived at his girlfriend’s apartment, he found the door half open. He was scared and so entered very slowly, then looked everywhere. Everything was clean and in place, the windows were open and surrounded by a nice aroma, which was Katy’s scent.
Suddenly he heard a soft melody, which scared him so much that he hid behind the sofa. He realised it was Katy's voice, but it was coming from each and every room, and every corner of each room. He did not know what to think about it and what to do. He thought it best to call George for help, but he found he had not brought his mobile.
Peter tried to move without making any noise and see who was in Katy’s room, but at the same time he heard a soft tread getting closer to him.
