A tale with a twist❗

For writing, my group is writing narratives with killer twists. To get the idea of what our pieces of writing should look like we wrote 1/4 of a story all together. Here is the beginning of our killer twist story.

Ben had always been a model student. He was respected by his peers and adored by his teachers. He had never even been in trouble, that is, until he met Toby.

It was a strange meeting, unexpected in many ways. Ben had been on his way down to the basement to collect some old textbooks for his teacher. As the most responsible member of his class, he was constantly running errands like this. On this occasion, he ran down the narrow stairs as fast as he could  as he was trying to avoid spending too much time in the dark.

He searched for the book in such a hurry that he did not see the pole behind him.

BANG! He was suddenly hit by what felt like an avalanche. He fell to the floor face first feeling the dust smother his face. His head was woozy, but he tried to pick himself back up. His vision was blurred, but as it cleared he saw a hand out stretched, supporting him to stand.
