A New Perspective on "The Lottery" (Read Description!)
- Reads 107

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 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
