Object: Write a story about the result from one of our recent
workshop exercises. Option (1) Naming characters to fit specific

his boss over several years. Option (2) Describing an abstract
concept with a specific example, e.g. wealth - "I have a whole
closet for my shoes." Option (3) Using a story beginning created
