I was asked to produce a 500 word peice of scary flash fiction based around the theme of 'horror' for halloween. My flash fiction involes a china doll, I used this dilberatly as dolls are seen as very eerie and creepy when used in the right context. As my audience is aimed for younger children it may me more relatable to them also. It could remind them of dolls they may have previously owned and make it more scary and frightening for them to read.
I kept the language fairly basic as I had to base it around my target audience, therefore I wasnt able to use a complex use of vocabulary as it may have been difficult for them to read/understand. The grapholodgey of my Story was to match the theme, I used red to resemble blood and horror and a dark black background to contrast well and make it look creepy.
The impact I would like for the audience would be for them to be slightly distubed and have a clear vision in their head of how the china doll may have looked, this will make the story more scary and effective to read.
