Please help with story idea! I have a story idea where a group of maybe 8 year olds or so sneaks out one night to find some sort of artifact> I'm trying to figure out what that should do. Why do they want it? The story is going to start in a small town where everyone knows eachother, and this one group of kids try to go find this thing - I'm thinking the story will be somewhat like the Monkey's paw, with the three wishes, but I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas? This is supposed to be a horror story for class, but it doesnt have to be too scary, and it has to answer the question What are humans most afraid of?
