Sometimes the results of working together can be really interesting. We’ve made an activity based on the surrealist game called Exquisite Cadaver in which we’ve assembled different ideas to create a new and fascinating piece of writing. Enjoy our productions! (Belén Giamberardini)
Suddenly, she slammed the door behind her. They had been arguing very strongly for the last three months but this time she got tired of her husband’s unfaithfulness. The turning point was when she found out that her best friend was having an affair with him. In tears, she wrote some lines, took the gun and went away. The letter was left there for him to find it so that he could know the reason of her act.
When she knew where the letter was she got desperate. She had to recover it as soon as possible but it was going to be a hard task because his house was plenty of guards.
She drove her car for many hours from the city to the forest where his house was placed. She managed to enter and get the letter but one of the guards realized about her and when he tried to reduce her, she escaped and ran quickly to the forest.
She had noticed that someone or something was following her.
When she finally stopped, she felt a cold breeze. She looked behind her and saw a strange shadow. She could not recognize what it was. She was so frightened that she tried to ask for help but could not scream or move her body. She was paralyzed.
After some minutes, she reacted and started to walk slowly. But it was too late. The shadow was very close to her. She thought something small and awful was creeping towards her.
The horrible and indescribable creature was coming nearer and nearer. Although she wasn’t able to see clearly what that disgusting thing was, she got very scared. She hurried up looking for an exit, but the place seemed to be a maze. There were many endless and gloomy corridors full of locked doors.
The chances of finding a way out were remote. She felt as if she were in the worst nightmare ever. Suddenly she saw a light coming from inside one of the rooms. She made her last effort and asked herself whether or not to grab the handle. Breathless, she finally opened the door and burst into tears.
After having heard about her fiancee’s affair, she decided to confront her friend. She knew she was involved in covering him up.
As she was listening to her friend’s version of the story, she glanced at the kitchen’s table and as soon as her friend pronounced her last word she took a knife and stabbed her several times. When she realized what she had done, she washed her blood stained hands and immediately after, a noise scared her. Suddenly, she slammed the door behind her.
