Short Stories...

Setting: Back of an ambulance in Russia
Tone: Angry
Genre: Comedy
Written by: Madeline, Bonnie, Joel, and Ben.
2012
   (Madeline) The French man was yelling and thrashing around wildly resisting the help of the paramedics. He was obviously upset about something, but the paramedics didn't think about it much because that often happened. The paramedics were. . .
(Bonnie) unsure what to do, though. He seemed to be trying to tell them something. Finally, the man stopped talking. He just stared at the top of the ambulance. They were quite close to the hospital, so the paramedics weren't thinking to much about the man. However, immediately after being brought. . .
 (Joel) into the hospital parking lot, they were instructed to go to a different hospital across town. Curses in French and Russian filled the ambulance like popcorn fills a kettle. The driver screamed something threatening that even the other Russians couldn't understand. The irate Frenchman layed on his back as the beeping of the heart-rate monitor sped up to the pace of a. . .
(Ben) humming bird's wings. Now even more so were the paramedics upset. On top of having to go to another hospital,  their patient was now going into shock.



Setting: Croatian Fashion Show
Tone: Angry
Genre: Documentary
Written by: Madeline, Bonnie, Logan, Joel, and Jordyn.
2013
   (Madeline) Every year, the country of Croatia hosts a fashion show, one of the most competitive and terrifying events in the world. The fashion show is set up like a competition. It is an exclusive event and only Croatian designers can enter into the competition. Each of the designers has five years to prepare a new line of clothing. In the past, the amount of time that the designers had to prepare their clothing had to be extended to five years because the competition had grown so fierce. The designers are now in a mad race to win the competitive Croatian Fashion Show.
(Bonnie) Not only do the designers have to take five years to ready their designs, but the models must re cooperate and train in that time. The arena that this fashion show is held in holds only thirteen thousand people. They stay behind the protective bullet proof glass for protection; not just for the audience, but for the designers and models as well. No model is allowed any weapon but what the designer had put into the clothing themselves. In earlier years, if the audience didn't like an outfit or model, they were known to attack them. This was outlawed, the contestants were only allowed to be attacked by other contestants.
(Logan) Most models leave the arena on stretchers, others never leave. A few models, however, are known for their war tactics and physical strength. These contestants are ruthless, often choosing decapitation as their killing method. The designers for these models are also fierce. They send their contestants in battle-ready and sometimes join the competition, attacking the other designers. One year, a designer actually used her model as a bat, grabbing the girl by her legs and swinging her about. This effectively took down 7 models and 13 designers. The designer responsible was later disqualified for giving her contestants machine guns before they went on stage.
(Joel) However, catty designers have resorted to designing outfits out of live attack-dogs and grenades. This year, it is rumored that one designer has even found a way to convince the judges that. . .
(Jordyn) a dress made of dogs would be a powerful statement towards activists that believe these fashion shows are inhumane. The judges went with it; however, the designer would have to feed the dogs. She agreed to set off to find suitable food for seventeen  Rottweilers. She had to feed them nine models to make them stop whining. This eliminated all competition and she won by default.
