Package Day
Grandmother Number Two
Monster

Project: Car (Fall 2007)

This was the final project for my writing class during my freshman year at SAIC. The theme that I chose was to write short stories, each containing a single journey in a vehicle of some sort. I based this theme on the idea that even the most mundane activity can reveal a lot about any character, and I explore the human train of thought and emotions when they perform such a 'task'. Though not quite compete, feel free to click on any title to download a pdf version of the story.
