Here's the prompt for this week (to turn in by Friday, to be read for
Monday's meeting), unless there are objections or alternate suggestions.
It's just, we really need one.
The idea is this: rewrite the following story (which I copied from
Mcsweeney's) from another perspective. It doesn't have to conform to any
particular length.
Nathan
"49."
BY SARAH MANGUSO
There's one girl in the nursery I decide I love. I stare at her and try to
think of what I should call her. I decide I will call her Benny, and I
approach her. "Hi, Benny," I say. Another girl pipes up. "Her name's Becky,
not Benny," she informs me. But what she doesn't know is that I got to
within one consonant of the girl's name just by looking at her.
