Let’s read the paragraph carefully and think about what might happen next.
The story says:
- Jaxen is playing with his super heroes in the front room.
- He hears a knock at the door.
- The Hoover (probably a vacuum cleaner) is running upstairs — so Dad is cleaning.
- Jaxen didn’t hear the knock because of the noise.
- He decides to peek through the spy hole in the front door.
- But no one is there!
- Then he notices a large cardboard box left on the doormat.
- He wonders: “Where on earth had that come from?”
Now, we need to imagine what the author would write next. That means we should continue the story in a way that makes sense — maybe Jaxen opens the box, or calls for his dad, or finds something surprising inside.
Since this is a mystery (a box appears out of nowhere), the next part should build suspense or reveal something interesting. Maybe Jaxen opens the box and finds something magical, funny, or strange — like a note, a toy, or even another superhero figure!
Let’s write a simple, exciting next paragraph:
---
Jaxen slowly reached down and picked up the box. It was heavier than it looked! He shook it gently — something rattled inside. His heart pounded as he lifted the lid. Inside was a shiny red cape… and a tiny mask that fit perfectly over his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a whisper: “You’ve been chosen.” Jaxen grinned. Maybe today wasn’t just any ordinary day after all.
