A Few Short Story Materials

Sometimes I look back on my materials and realize that I had no clue what I was doing. Sometimes I look back and remember that I, personally, was hot mess at a given time and my lessons showed it. Both of these feelings came back to me, unfortunately, as I was looking at my short story materials from 2008. So, for your benefit, I have mostly banished those materials to the fiery depths of my computer trash bin. Below is what was left after the purge.
