2 - Imperative: The Headmistress (R for mild profanity)
I can't decide if it's set a few decades ago with a particularly bolshy student or whether it's an alternate history thing - I think I probably erred on the side of a modern tone for it, so maybe somewhere corporal punishment goes unwitnessed...
Thanks guys I'm glad you like it :) I was trying to complete the challenge without it feeling quite so much like 2nd person narration - I mean, I know it is, but I _hope_ it gives more the impression that it's the character of the boy talking to himself.
Ooo ouch - this is interesting. I wonder what time period it is set in?
ReplyDeleteOooh this is clever! I'm impressed by how you weave in the dialogue.
