Week 15 StoryLab : "The Sky is Falling!" Microfiction Revision

100 Word Story: REVISION

One day on a farm a chicken, named Chicken Little, was out eating some corn his owner threw on the ground for him. While eating peacefully, he heard a loud thump on the ground. Chicken Little, as innocent as can be, instantly assumed the sky was falling! At once he began running through the farm yelling, "The sky is falling!" Soon enough, the pigs, the cattle, the ducks, the horses, and even the barn mice were running with him! Finally, they got to the fence where the ranch hand of the farm was. "What is all this ruckus! I was just cutting branches off the old tree by Chicken Little's pen!"

Revision Note: 

I used a little bit of artful repetition when naming all of the different kinds of farm animals. Along with deleting some redundant words/phrases in order to make my story a bit more concise and easier to read.

In the fall of 2019 I signed a lease to a rental house for the 2020-2021 school year.

I was already going to be living in Norman because of my lease, so I thought why not? While the dampers of 2020 were not known at the time, I could surely not "un-sign" my lease, and the class I enrolled in was an extremely important one for my major, so I followed through with my plan. Last summer I moved into the home I'm living in now and attended my first lecture of biochemistry. Going into the class I had no idea what to expect! What topics does biochemistry even cover? I knew it was very important that I not only earned my A, but that I truly retained the information taught to me. Along with my major I'm pre-med, which essentially means I'm going to have to take the MCAT at some point in order to be accepted into medical school. Having a good foundati

Marion after he wins the battle to take Princess Peach back.  Pixy.org Note: I wanted to do a little run-off of the Ramayana but with different characters. In one of my previous blog posts I talked about how much the Ramayana reminded me of the basic Super Mario Bros. story. It's really simply because of how Peach and Sita both get captured and the other husband/fiancé had to come in to save his loved one. I hope you enjoyed!
