Short-Story-a-thon

Alright, so I decided to utilize a post dealing with members of this blog to make a continuous story. How this works is that one person posts no less than two sentences with new vocabulary words. There is no direct theme just that you don't go off topic of the post above yours.

So here are the rules:
1) Post no less than two sentences
2) Use new vocabulary
3) Stay on topic
4) No profanity
5) Be nice
6) Keep it intellectually appropriate
7) Keep it in third person
8) Have fun

Ms. Hill will be the moderator and is free, as always, to edit, comment. etc.

The purpose of this exercise is to have you practice using vocabulary in preparation to the AP English exam and have fun.

If you would like to post in the tone and voice of one of your favorite authors, please do so.

If there are characters as well within the story, please don't change their names or roles (if their roles are evident within the story already).

Happy Posting.

  2. There was a hamlet far from the city that nestled under the sky of full a myriad of clouds that gave the cottages a calm feel. Peasants roamed freely and their families had the best of times. Taxation was no longer around and their current standard of living was being met. Mothers and fathers made sure that their children had a plethora of activities to do awhile they tended the family farms.

  3. *Note: I did not write this, but I found it incredidibly funny so I had to post it.*

    A college class was told they had to write a story in as few words as possible. The insrtuctions were: The short story had to contain the following 3 things:
    1)Religion
    2)Seuality
    3)Mystery
    Below is the only A+ short story in the entire class...

    "Good God, I'm pregnant. I wonder who did it."

    THE END
