Jonah waited for the bell today. He didn't want to be interrupted as he was hitting his stride. "Every once in a while, you're going to find that for whatever reason, you have to kill a story. Even after you put in a lot of work, even after you've exhausted your resources, even after you've written the damn thing, your editor will come up to you and tell you that he's not going to run it, write something else, now get out of his office! Or something could come up to make you decide that now is not the time to run with it."

"I don't particularly want to read about zombies this week, so I'm killing your stories just like how SOMEBODY in this class tried to kill me last week! Instead, write something about the big news story this week: gremlin bites! Analysis, recapping who's been what, a quickie interview with a gremlin-bit person, whatever you want. But if anyone writes about my experience on Tuesday, then they get a detention! It's my class, and I get to control the content of the articles so there's no use complaining if you get a detention for that. Oh, and your deadline hasn't changed even though you have to write something different because of my whims. It's due by the end of the class period! Get to work!"

Amber turned in her article, writing about how being a drunk, a smoker, and constantly in lust, affected her working enviroment negatively due to the infectious bite of a gremlin. And thank god she wasn't Loretta in real life. She'd have a lot of explaining to do...

...and so on and so forth.

Probably too much information, but it all pertained to being gremlin bitten, so she thought it honest and well written especially given the short amount of time to do it.
