Creative Writing- Monday- 3rd period

"Hope you all had fun writing your ghost stories, because it's time to make them go away," Daria greeted the class as she had them start passing up their work. "This week I'm going to have to work on something longer. Your theme is 'stranger in a strange land.' It can be any genre, whether it's a person shot into space, or someone at the wedding of someone they don't know. I want it to be at least twenty pages, to really do some world building in whatever setting you choose. Have fun with that."

Pass up your work

You had a ghost story to write! What's you write and how'd you do?

So it got real easy to write a ghost story when you were one, however briefly.

So Tip's story was about a teenage girl killed in a flying car accident. It was told from the perspective of the ghost herself, figuring out that she was dead and slowly reliving the accident itself. It wasn't quite spooky enough for the genre -- it was hard to go hard on the spooky when the protagonist was yourself only dead -- but it had a great wry humor to balance out the sadness and gore.
