Good job here Mariah. I think you could add some more detail to this story. Why were you throwing rocks at the house after you saw something move? Who had the idea? How did you feel when you saw the lady running from the house. YOu could describe the lady when she came to the door. Did she look like you pictured her to look? did she seem nice? Mean? Do you understand? There is more description that could be helpful in your story.

Good job starting here Mariah. I think you have a good opinion for your opening. You could add a little bit to this: "unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I know from experience. Luckily, we were a little faster than her and I lived to tell about it." YOu don't have to use this, but hopefully this could help you. Also, I think you could do more description of the setting, or the house.
