How to write a short story based on paranoia?

  • As an assignment for english, I have to write a short story based on 'fear of the unknown'. I've chosen the topic of paranoia and not knowing what people say/think about you. I want to base it on myself (as I have dealt with social anxiety, paranoia and depression for several years) and have it over the period of a day in school. However, I don't know what the plot would be or what the climax would be. The word limit is 600-800 words, so it has to be fairly short. Any ideas please?

  • Answer:

    make the climax a full blown panic attack. write it first person so get the emotion, have it so 'you' can't breathe and freeze use your own experience and manipulate it for the climax
