a very little fragment of the mysterious short story...

"It was a stormy night in an abandoned castle. The woman was sleeping. The wind was howling: it was raining. Suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Three times. The woman opened the door. Surprised, she realized that it was a man. He stared at her for a moment in silence, with glassy eyes. He started to sob and at the same moment the woman fainted. The tweeting of birds woke her up. It was dawn. Barely conscious, she heard the sound of a car engine -- then the sound of dripping water. She stood up abruptly, knocking over a table. The noise of a broken vase reverberated..."

 

Very short sentences, such as "It was dawn" are grammatically correct, but it is poor style to write a whole paragraph in this way.  "Twang" is for strings.
