Slapping together a short story, already a page over....

[icarus]

Okay, assignment's in. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I hated this (fragment of a) story, but sometimes you just have to put something on a page to do the assignment. Chatted with the professor after class and sure enough, the point was just to get a sample of our writing.

Bah, tell a story in two pages? Why are creative writing teachers so often nuts?

(There's a CW prof at my school who assigned a friend's class to "write a one-page novel about a superhero dressed as a ham.")

He said just to give two pages of a story, you didn't have to finish it. I chatted with him after class and, sure enough, it was really a way to get a writing sample out of each student so he could get a sense of where we were.
