You've all been asked to create a main character for your short story assignment. Now, I want you to take them out of the story you are creating your for your final fiction piece and put them into a piece of flash fiction--where they die.
Here's the reasoning: People learn a lot about themselves in extreme situations and there's no situation quite as extreme as death. Have your main character confront death in a way that suits their life. Be true to the person you've created. And then, kill them off. This exercise is meant to help you to get to know your main character better by pushing that character to the extreme.
Write at least 500 words. And remember: it's time to kill your new best friend.
Due by class on Thursday, April 5
