While your post did not state the length (word count), genre, and theme; I believe that I can deliver a very engaging tale especially within the following genres: fantasy (modern/sword and sorcery/children), thriller (crime, mystery, supernatural), romance (modern/gothic), scifi, horror and suspense.
I'll leave you with a snippet from my latest work for your evaluation.
"Hunger.
My stomach churned. Food. Something tender, something succulent. Something that did not taste like what has been regurgitated into an old, leather shoe and served sunbaked.
The room groaned. Its hunger was astir, too, quaking through the mouldering timbers and the gasping cracks on the wall. Unforgiving. Cold. Relentless. And I was fast running out of snacks to ward off its advances."
