Here are three thriller story ideas to inspire your writing:
1. **The Forgotten Asylum**: A young investigative journalist stumbles upon an abandoned mental asylum rumored to be haunted. Intrigued by the legends surrounding it, she decides to explore with a small team of friends. As they delve deeper into the asylum, they uncover a series of disturbing artifacts—including video tapes documenting experiments carried out on the patients. Soon, strange occurrences escalate, and the group realizes they’re not alone; a malevolent presence begins to hunt them. The journalist must uncover the asylum’s dark past and the fate of its patients before she and her friends become the next victims.
2. **The Silent Witness**: A brilliant forensic artist who has dedicated her life to helping law enforcement solve cold cases finds herself entangled in a disturbing new investigation. After recreating the face of a murder victim from decades past, she receives anonymous messages that lead her to believe the killer is still alive and is watching her. As she races against time to connect the dots between old crimes and new, she discovers a web of deceit that leads back to influential figures in her town. With her life in danger, she must confront her own demons and choose whether to reveal the truth or protect those she loves.
3. **Code of Silence**: A former detective turned private investigator receives a mysterious request to find a missing high-profile tech entrepreneur. As he uncovers layers of corporate espionage and illegal activities within the tech giant, he realizes that there’s much more at stake than a simple disappearance. The entrepreneur's groundbreaking project, a revolutionary AI capable of deep learning, has put powerful people at risk. As the investigator gets closer to the truth, he finds himself targeted by a shadowy organization willing to do anything to keep their secrets hidden. Forced to rely on his instincts and a few unlikely allies, he must navigate a world of betrayal and danger to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Read the story below.
“Bailey’s Escape”
Kayla gasped for air. She knew if she stopped now, she may not see Bailey again. The little dog had leaped over the fence when the fireworks started and took off down the street. He obviously did not care for the fireworks.
Kayla turned the corner onto Applegate Avenue when she heard a sound. Kayla stood still, listening for Bailey. Sure enough, she heard a few small yips coming from the Jackson’s open garage. Kayla walked toward the Jackson’s house. A moment later, Mrs. Jackson met Kayla on the front walk holding Bailey.
“Thank you so much,” said Kayla. “I’ve been chasing him!”
“Well, I don’t blame him for running,” Mrs. Jackson replied, handing the dog back to Kayla. “Those loud sounds have been getting on my nerves too.”
Kayla walked home holding Bailey to keep him from squirming away. Once they were back inside the safety of their house, Kayla put Bailey in his dog bed and he settled down.

Here’s a rewritten version of “Bailey’s Escape” with sensory and figurative language added. I’ve highlighted each addition and labeled it according to the specified types of language:
---
“Bailey’s Escape”
Kayla gasped for air, her lungs burning like a raging wildfire. (Simile) She knew if she stopped now, she may not see Bailey again. The little dog had leaped over the fence when the fireworks exploded in a kaleidoscope of colors, filling the night sky with blinding brilliance, and took off down the street. (Imagery) He obviously did not care for the cacophony of booms and crackles.
Kayla turned the corner onto Applegate Avenue when she heard a sound that sent chills down her spine— a soft, anxious whimper. (Imagery) Kayla stood still, listening for Bailey. Sure enough, she heard a few small yips coming from the Jackson’s open garage. Kayla walked toward the Jackson’s house, her heart racing faster than a speeding bullet. (Hyperbole) A moment later, Mrs. Jackson met Kayla on the front walk, holding Bailey like a precious jewel. (Metaphor)
“Thank you so much,” said Kayla. “I’ve been chasing him!”
“Well, I don’t blame him for running,” Mrs. Jackson replied, handing the dog back to Kayla. “Those loud sounds have been getting on my nerves too." (Oxymoron: 'loud sounds' and 'getting on my nerves’)
Kayla walked home, clutching Bailey to keep him from squirming away. Once they were back inside the safety of their house, the door creaked open with a groan, welcoming them back home. (Personification) Kayla put Bailey in his dog bed, and he settled down with a soft sigh that echoed through the quiet room. (Onomatopoeia)
