Who are they now?
Write a description of the most popular person or the best athlete from high school or college. Write at least 4 lines describing them physically and their personality style, way of being. Were they your friend? Did you like them? Were they a bully to anyone? To you?
Now imagine them as a completely different person. Opposite sex, different physical description. If they were a friend before, this new person is not. If they were kind, this new person is not.
Be sure and include how you felt, in both instances, your own feelings in these scenarios. Which one would make an interesting character in a short story?
Try writing a short short and feel free to post it here for all of us to read.
