Last school year, my Freshman were about a week ahead of the rest of the teachers so I threw in a quick one-week creative writing unit while we waited for the rest of the classes to catch up. I gave them an engaging prompt I found off the Internet and dished out some tips and pointers before having them go off and write their own story. The unit went so well that I decided to jump in and write my own since that's what I pretend to consider myself - a writer. They enjoyed my story so much that they were telling me to turn it into a movie or a full book, so instead, I just decided to publish it here. That's it. That's the origin of this short story. It's a piece of fiction geared towards younger adults. I'm proud of how it came out. I hope you enjoy it as much as they did.
