		<description>This might be too cliche, but a good way to add suspense is to give the characters a time limit, say one hour to save somebody, get a million, get a vaccine ect... whilst doing this make it difficult for the characters to achieve this, give the characters a challenge, make the reader think the characters isn&#039;t going to make it.

Keep the pace fairly quick, followed by slower ones. If you add an action scene followed by a slow scene, the action scenes will be more suspenseful, than if you just add action after action.

Don&#039;t give the reader all of the action at once, keep it flowing with the story, make unsuspected turns, make the reader think something is going to happen, only to find it was a false lead. (Like in a horror film, when you think something is going to happen, but something else happens)

The aim of suspense is to get the reader wanting to know more; what&#039;s going to happen, or who done it? If it&#039;s a who done it story, don&#039;t reveal until the end and try getting the reader to believe somebody else did it. Do this by misleading, characters lying ect... 

Another good way is adding small cliffhangers after each chapter, mostly done in novels to add the suspense feel, but still a good way.

And probably the most important is show, don&#039;t tell. Doing this will add more depth, if we can see what&#039;s happening to the character, then that&#039;ll create a picture and create suspense on its own. For example don&#039;t just say he was scared, show us how he was scared, shivering with wide eyes, heart beating faster with sweats, eyes fixed on the spot, he froze.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me</description>

		<description>colorful imagery.  Also by not rushing the story, even if it is a short one.  Don&#039;t tell me what is happening, instead describe the emotions your characters are experiencing. If i know how sacred you character is  ...I am more likely to get rapped up in it all. 

Example: 

Bob ran down the hall to the open door, bodied, dead bloody bodies filled the room. 

Or

Bob ignored the deep stabbing pain in his chest and kept running. Please God don;t let me be to late he prayed as he barreled though the open doors. His heart sank. Bodies, dead mutilated bodies littered the floor. His will, his resolve leached out of him, he had been to late.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Sharper sentences with more precise vocab. 
Precise vocab just helps the scene be clearer without having to write loads and loads of sentences- helpful in a short story (or when building tension!).
To make a sentence sharp, it has to short and meaningful. No wishy-washy rhetorical questions like &#039;Who was there and why did they want me?&#039; instead, you can transform this into something MUCH more exciting! &#039;Who they were or why they were here, I didn&#039;t know. I did know that they were probably out to kill me.&#039; See? The second one, though longer was more interesting and less amateur-sounding than the first.
Other than structure and vocab, you can leak information slowly; so the reader is not frustrated and bored, but gripped and tantalised...
You also will need a good plot, but I can&#039;t give much advice on that!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
