Suspense

Imagine that you are playing hide-and-seek with your friends. You are "it" and your job is to find your friends who have hidden themselves around your house. You move around trying to find them, but you don't know where they are specifically. Every time you open a closet door or step into a dark room, you feel scared and excited at the same time because you don't know who or what might be hiding there. This feeling of excitement and anticipation is called suspense.

In movies, books, and games, suspense is when we feel excited because we don't know what will happen next. It's like a mystery that we want to solve. For example, in a book, the author might describe a dark and creepy house where the main character is going to investigate. You might feel scared and excited at the same time, wondering what might be lurking in the shadows. This feeling is called suspense.

When someone creates suspense, they are trying to keep us interested and engaged in a story. The more suspense there is, the more we want to know what will happen. It makes us feel like we are a part of the story and we are experiencing the same emotions as the characters. That's why suspense is so important in movies, books, and games. Without it, the story can be boring and predictable. But with suspense, it keeps us on the edge of our seats, wondering what will happen next.
