Not sure if I'll participate in this one. Suspense and thrillers aren't my genre and I haven't sparked an idea yet.

I think I finally got an idea. I'll see if I can meet the challenge.

Does the story have to be a thriller, or can it be anything that follows all the requirements? If I write a story that has the first sentence be an action takiing place, has an average sentence length of less than nine words, and uses the ticking clock element to create suspense, is that enough? I recently saw this challenge and just finished writing a story in response to it. It is a children's story where the suspense is cartoony.
