Now I'm trying to think of what direction I would have taken with that assignment. Your piece was certainly good, for high school. This reminds me of when I wrote an alternate ending to Lord of the Flies. Unlike just about everything else I wrote in high school, I can still read it with pride instead of cringing. Probably because I was using an established setting and tone, instead of creating my own weak ones.
What a great assignment!
