It was really old and it was rusty. She felt very scared and very excited at the same time. Her grandfather had died last spring and nobody had been inside his lighthouse since.\n\nShe walks down to the beach and the wind is pushing against her. The lighthouse stands at the end of the rocks. She puts the key in the lock and it doesn't turn. Then she hears something inside.\n\nMR. CASTILLO'S RUBRIC (story opening)\n- Show, don't tell (40 pts): reveal feelings through actions and details, not by naming them\n- Consistent tense (25 pts)\n- Hook (20 pts): the first line makes the reader curious\n- Mechanics (15 pts)\n\nNote: due Friday.
