I've always wanted to have an assignment that I'd have fun with--like writing a story...So I made up this assignment. Pretending that I'm a teacher who gives relatively interesting assignments, here is the previously mentioned assignment. And I'm going to do it! (I've always wanted an assignment like this...)
Assignment: Create a short story. Remember your descriptions. Make your reader feel like they were in the shoes of the characters. Any point of view (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc), but make it realistic--DO NOT copy a story and merely change names or appearances.
Story: A young girl stumbles across a parallel, relatively medieval world, filled with the ghosts of knights, dragons, and other beings that you'd only find in a fairy tale. But she becomes entrapped by an evil sorceress, and is forced to be a servant in the sorceress's castle. Quickly making friends with another girl, she learns that the castle used to be the castle of a great lord, but he disappeared without a trace and the demon sorceress took over, enslaving all who refused to bow down before her. One day, the girl is cornered by a pair of guards who try to charm her. Unfortunately they scare her more than seduce her, but she has no where to run. She's rescued by the sorceress's apprentice, and they become friends. Everyone else seems to think he's evil, just like his Master, and sometimes the girl wonders what is up with him. The apprentice, one day, collapses during a meal; sick with a raging fever. The girl's first friend there finds out that the sorceress is going to take his heart and his soul out of his body to use for a spell that will make her all-powerful, and then would dispose of his body. The girl can't just let that happen to her friend, now can she? She forms a plan to free him and overthrow the sorceress, but will she succeed? Or will they join the apprentice as sacrifices?
R&R--I'll need at least one review to continue this.
