The Monday Morning Memo

What happened that caused
this girl to be living in the streets
and where is she now?

These things matter to me.

PS: And what happened to the kitten?

CHALLENGE:
Tell this girl’s story in 1000 words or less.
You can use first person perspective with present-tense verbs,
(in other words, the girl will tell her own story during the event,)
or you can use third person perspective with past-tense verbs,
(you, the omniscient narrator, will speak of what happened to this girl.)

Send your story to Jackie@WizardAcademy.org
BEFORE Monday, Feb. 27, 2012

We’ll decide what to do next
after we see how many stories we receive…

Random Quote:

“Dig in! ZigZag leans forward, his hands crossed, looking intently at my omelet. It smells good. It has a lumpy appearance. I pick up my fork, and start to unfold it.

Uh uh! ZigZag holds up one hand. You don't want to spoil the surprise.

Surprise?

He looks furtively in the direction of the kitchen, then leans closer and says in a hoarse whisper.

Sometimes they leave the feet on.

Feet? I swallow, setting my resolve. I really don't want to know what is in a road kill omelet. I'll just pretend it is country sausage, or Spam. I cut a bite, spear it on the fork, and put it in my mouth. I start to chew.

And?

I nod. It's good.

There you go! The unknown – it can be fabulous! With that, ZigZag leans back on his bench, takes a long swallow of his coffee, and lights another cigarette.

People fear the unknown, Mike. Why? It's all around us, and just like a good breakfast, it is tasty, and nourishing. Don't be afraid of the unknown – tear into it, cut off big pieces, and savor it. More often than not, you'll love it!”
