A New Perspective on "The Lottery" (Read Description!)

Okay, so for English class we were told to write a narrative story relating to the story called "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. I highly suggest reading that first. It is a short story that doesn't take long to read at all. (If you have read it, continue reading)
My narrative is about my perspective on if either myself or my parents had won the 'lottery'. Again, it is not very long, it will all be in one chapter. I turn this in tomorrow, but I also thought it would be fun to show you how I wrote my narrative. If you have read the original story and then this one, please tell me what you think! I'd really appreciate it!

Born In Fiction
Being reborn as a witch should have been awesome maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that I was reborn as Bonnie Bennett, the most judgmental, sacrificial character who basically gave up literally EVERYTHING for people who didn't deserve it and treated her like she was a commodity. However, I am not going to do that, I am not her. I won't be bossed around. I won't be used by anyone. I DO NOT OWN THE TVD UNIVERSE. I DO HOWEVER OWN THE RANDOM PLOT TWISTS OR PLOT HOLES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT APPEAR. SHE IS NOT TVD BONNIE, her character and personality WILL BE DIFFERENT.Complete

The Phoenix Girl (Editing)
"Have I ever told you the story of The Phoenix Girl?" My Grandfather asked. "No, you have not," I said. My Grandfather was like any other old man, but his mind was far from ordinary. All grandfathers are alike, each one tells you stories about wars or the good old days. But not my Grandfather. He was a storyteller, but his stories were always different. He would just come up with the stories, and they would be so enrapturing to me. It hooked me from the beginning until the moment I had to leave. But then one day, he told me a story that would change everything for me and my Father. This story called the Phoenix Girl. It's a story of a girl who goes through hardships and struggles in her everyday life. They punish her for things she has no control over, but then she faces it all. She is reborn from the ashes of the flames that had consumed her. She is stronger. But what if this isn't just some story that my grandpa came up with? What if something connected her to my family? What will happen now that the truth is out there? Why was this story so important? What will change? Who is this Phoenix Girl? [Please note that this story is complimented but is under heavy editing at the moment]Complete
Reborn in TVD?!
I don't get it. I really don't. I died, I get that much. But waking up in a dark and squishy place, with absolutely NO ROOM to move, I DON'T GET. Let's recap. It was a regular day. I got up, ate, showered and went to work. I was a police officer. I was checking out a house call about domestic abuse. I didn't even get to knock on the door before a man bursted out screaming at a women about calling the pigs on him. It didn't take much to figure out he was the abuser with the way he was holding her arm tight enough to bruise. I tried to diffuse the situation, told him to calm down and let her go. He didn't like that. In the end I got shot and died. Then I woke up in a small and dark space and freaked out. Then I get pushed out only to cry and realize I'm a baby. Oh, but not just anyone's baby. I'm Miranda and Grayson Gilbert's baby?! In 'The Vampire Diaries'?! What the fuck is happening?!
