For this weeks assignment you will be working on a creative story at least 750 words in length. The maximum word count should be less than 3000. For this story you will personify yourself as an atom going through a chemical reaction. At this point you should have researched some chemical reactions and are welcome to pick one of those reactions or another reaction that interests you. The bases of your story should match the qualities of the reaction that you choose to write about. Your story should have three distinct sections. First describe your life before the chemical reaction. What is your day like? Are you a loner, a single atom for example. Are you super close with your best friend, a compound were you are one of the elements maybe. Then describe what you go through when the chemical reaction occurs. Is it traumatic? Does it happen all at once or over a long period of time. What feelings do you have during this time? Then the last part of the story should talk about how your life has changed after the reaction. Is it better or worse now. Do you miss life before the reaction took place and why or why not. These questions are to be a guide to help you get started. You do not have to answer these questions, but they should help you get started. The story is due at the end of the week.
