Description

For your second short story, I want you write a short story about a strange human interest story. I don’t want you to write about political stories. You do not have to stay true to the details of the actual story. You can even use just the title for inspiration. The world is a strange place, so there are a number of major news sites that have news of the weird. The tone does not have to be funny, but have fun with this.

Here are some good weird news sites:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/

http://abcnews.go.com/Weird

https://www.npr.org/sections/strange-news/

You will edit and expand on this piece for your final portfolio, so I do not expect for this to be a polished piece. You will workshop with your class mates to make revisions to the story. This is what you will include in your portfolio.

Guidelines:

  • 600-700 words
  • 12 point font
  • Times New Roman, Calibri, or other similar professional font
  • Creative Title (Don’t use the song name.)
  • Save as a Word (.doc or .docx) file or Rich Text Format file (.rtf)
  • One inch margins
  • You do not have to include a title page, but please have a heading with your name and date. Also tell me which song you chose and the artist of the song.

Bill didn't have many hobbies. The ones he did have mainly revolved around cutting his
grass and making sure his lawnmower was operating at the appropriate level. His house was not
very big and it was not very small. It suited him in storing all the appropriate fertilizers and seeds
for ensuring his lawn was as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Every day Bill would get up at
7:30 A.M, make a cup of coffee, and would start to mow his lawn. This routine is what gave him
some grounding for the rest of the day and it allowed him to almost meditate while he mowed his
lawn. There is a lot of metaphorical silence to be had when all there is to see is the grass being
pruned by your lawnmower. Bill took a ...
