I don't mind any of them.

I'm not sure I get what kind of "transformative experience" it's talking about.

Whatever we pick, we've gotta write a story about...

Dead and... wet?

Re: DISCUSS

... Yeah. I wasn't expecting that.

Re: DISCUSS

We should start with how then why. Did he drown?

Re: DISCUSS

[fourthsaken]

I think that's a good first question.

Re: DISCUSS

[firstdrafted]

That seems pretty likely, if being wet is important enough to mention.

Re: DISCUSS

[firstdrafted]

Okay so let me see if I've got all this straight. The hero drowned, alone, after he saw something reflected in the water, and he wasn't reaching for the flower's reflection BUT if the flower hadn't been there then he wouldn't have died.

Is that how all the answers work out?

That's it.

Did the hero reach for the reflection of the flower in the water?

Final Story

Re: Final Story

[firstdrafted]

Okay, here we go.

So the hero is off by himself someplace, right, and he stops by the water for, I don't know, maybe he wanted to get a drink or something. And there's this flower growing by the water, and he doesn't know it, but the smell of the flower confuses people? So there he is by the water and he breathes in the flower's scent, and then he sees his reflection in the water. And he thinks it's another person, because he's confused. He tries to reach them! But he falls in the water, and I guess it's pretty deep and maybe he doesn't know how to swim or something, and he drowns.

Man, it sounds pretty bad just told straight out like that, huh.

Anyway, if the flower hadn't been there he would have been okay. Or if he'd known that kind of flower was dangerous, I bet he wouldn't have stopped for long enough to get in trouble.

So that's our story.
