Question: Title ideas for this short story!?
short horror story about a young girl who is dropped off at this woman;s house, who offers to look after children while parents are away for a short while!. her house is really old and nobody ever drops their kids off around that woman's!. 5 children are still living there, they were dropped off but their parents never came to pick them up!.
the young girl (as introduced in the start) named lisa is dropped off for 3 weeks!. she feels really uncomfortable as the other children do not befriend her and are always just watching her!. charlotte, the youngest, is nice and befriends lisa!.
3 weeks go by and lisa's mother hasn't arrived!. the children say that she has been abandoned like them and that she must become "one of them"!. lisa refuses to be one of them saying her mother WILL come back!. enraged, vaishali (the oldest there) throws lisa into the basement where she is tied up!.
over the days, the children all torture lisa, saying that they are just "playing"!. they do things like carving smiley faces onto her arms and legs with a pen or pulling her hair or just beating her!.
one night the lady (who owns the place and is equally involved coz shes cuckoo in the head) talks about lisas mom coming bck so they must kill her!. charlotte overhears and goes down to free lisa!.
lisa runs off into the forest but soon vaishali finds out and all the children run after her!. lisa sees her moms car but it drives off!. soon vaishali appears with a knife and says "we havent finished playing yet!.!.!."

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Devil's Orphans is nice!.

How about:

"Abandoned"

or

"Waiting"

It's a good story!. I'd enjoy it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"the playground" or "the devil's playground"
"abandoned" or "the abandoned"
"devil's orphans" is good, but you should tweek it!.!.!. i think that the orphans part is good, but you may wanna use a different word from "devil" like maybe the witch's orphans or something
also, i keep thinking "the fated forgotten"Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think something scary like:

In The Devil's Basement

Or mysterious like:

The Others
Living With the Others
Outside
The ForestWww@QuestionHome@Com

The Devil's Nanny
The Secret Orphanage
Lisa's Nightmare
Satan's Baby-Sitting Service
(haha the last one is stupid) :P
good luck!
