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!

Blurred Memories
DISCLAIMER: Chapter one and two are published privately. I tried but cannot publish the first two chapters. The description below summarizes what happens in the first two chapters in less details. Sorry for the confusion as to why the "first chapter" is called "CHAPTER THREE: JUST OUR LUCK". -=+=- My memories have been taken away from me. I am learning how to adapt to my surrounds since I was left in this new town. I was left in a house alone with enough money and resources to survive. Not only was my memories taken away from me, but Wesley as well. I do not remember anything that has taken place in my past. When the twins become the new kids at school I start to feel danger. Oddly, I feel as if I know them yet I do not remember anything about them. Should I trust them? ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hey everyone! This is my first "book" so please give feedback so I could improve. This book has werewolves in it and will be using the same sort of background as the show, "Teen Wolf." This is also going to be a long story. Other then that, I hope you enjoy, "Blurred Memories." :) - YourLoveIsAllINeedComplete
The Girl He Forgot
I'm Alexis. You don't remember me. Nobody ever does. I'm Percy Jackson's sister. Yeah. THAT Percy Jackson. I'm sure you've heard of him. Tall, muscular, sea green eyes? Yep. That's the one. I was kidnapped when I was young. I know, I know, tragic. But there's so much more to it. I don't know who my real parents are. Obviously there's Poseidon, but it gets so much more complicated. This is my story, and it's far from a fairytale. *LOOK OUT FOR SEQUEL "THE DAUGHTER HE FORGOT" ON MY PROFILE. COMING SOON :)*Complete

Our Memories Burnt To Ashes
"Rumor has it that every ten years, five stereotypical students will be doomed into disappearance on Homecoming night, never to be seen again. There has only been one person, a redhead who was the leader of the marching band, who has survived the curse. Everyone in the small town tried asking her what happened, but all she could spit out was a mumble. With five missing teenagers every ten years, it seemed impossible for anyone to escape the curse that may just end their lives, but that never stopped the students from going to Homecoming." Join Elena, the independent, Brittanny, the popular, Adam, the jock, Cage, the mysterious, and Jessica, the perky on their exciting tragedy as they face what the curse throws at them. Will they make it out alive? Or will they experience their deepest emotional tortures and become who they really are? Will their memories burn to ashes, trapped in the depths of the curse, never to be seen again? ********************************************************* Yo.

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?! Rankings: #1 in reincarnated (out of 3.58k) #2 in witchcraft (out of 19.3k) #15 in gay (out if 389k) I do not own TVD or any characters beside my oc'sComplete![Rose [ A Revenge Story ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/35156360-256-k612566.jpg)
Rose [ A Revenge Story ]
Rose (Revenge Story ) On my sixth birthday my daddy asked me what I wanted I said a pony. On my seventh birthday my mommy asked me what I wanted, I said I wanted to be a princess. On my eight birthday my grandma and grandpa asked me what I wanted, I said I wanted my mom and dad back. On my ninth birthday I was put into care. On my tenth birthday no one asked me what I wanted. Same with the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth. So on my fourteenth birthday I asked myself what I wanted. I come up with a one word answer, revenge. (Please be warned this story is not for the faint hearted 18+) I wanted to have it under romance / mystery but they don't have that so yeah. So I think this story has been made privet. I am sorry about this. It was not by my doing, if you would still like to read it follow me and add to your library again. Sorry.
