• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Very short. DON'T CRITICIZE IT TOO MUCH

It was midnight. The sky was full of stars, shining at everything below them. However, there was not much alive below where those stars shone. Apart from one figure.

Clad in deep black from head to toe, he threw something that looked like a grappling hook at a dark house close by to him.

The hook lodged into a gap where a brick must have fallen out. The man, who had an evil grin on his face, slowly climbed across, holding the rope in both hands.

Once he had climbed the entire length of the rope, he disappeared into an open window, clutching a suspicious-looking sack. He came out ten minutes later.

Unsurprisingly, he made the headline of the local paper the next day.
 
Ok, this is better, but you could explain a litle more. For instance, you could explain what the man looked like, and what was in the sack, and how did he make the headline if no one but him was there? This is better than your other one shots, but you couuld still explain more, so you can keep the readers attention. =)
