The Bear Story

I’m posting the Bear Story so I can get it into the right category for ease of reference:

alone
woke up
Leave!

Michael was sleeping alone on Saturday night. A bear came to the house. The bear opened the door with his nose. He put two feet into the house.  Michael woke up and yelled, “Leave!” The bear left, alone.

[ed. note: I underline the last line, emulating Anne Matava’s scripting style, which then leaves everything that happens at the end of the story open to what the class suggests, which is often quite fantastic.]
