STORY STARTER
Inspired by Kail Cleo
Create a story by writing multiple diary entries from your character (or multiple characters intertwined).
Try to make each entry build from the last to add to the storyline. If you switch perspective, make it clear that it's someone else's journal.
Unexpected
June 9, 2010
Today was a normal day. I went to school and me and Violet met a new girl named Asia. She is now part of our friend group. We invited her to a movie but she said that she was busy so Violet invited her brother Jake to go with us instead. The movie was great and I think Jake ate too much popcorn because when we left the movie theater he hurled out the window. Yellow popcorn chunks flew away in the air. I was about to puke my self. It was so disgusting. Violet said that she is never buying him popcorn again. I dropped them off and then drove home. Now I am laying on my bed writing this entire. Today I daydreamed in class so bad. I was caught staring at Luke. It was so embarrassing. Everyone stared at me when the teacher called on me and I didn’t answer. Then Lyla, (my arch nemesis) said, “Ohhhh, Sophia has a crush!” I wanted to punch her perfectly shaped face square in the nose! She does stuff like that to me so much it’s almost normal.

Today we had the first tornado warning ever in Zillah, Washington. That has never happened before and the warning was sent out 30 minutes ago but no one sees any signs of a tornado at all. Nobody thinks there will be a tornado so no one leaves the town. Now I am looking out my window and I see dark clouds. It looks like it will rain. Just a thunderstorm, there won’t be a tornado. Then I hear sirens. Why is there sirens. Then I look at my other window opposite of the other and see a swirling cloud of gray. It’s coming closer and I need to get out of here. I need too-

The tornado hit. My house is destroyed. Every thing I love is destroyed. No one knew the tornado would hit. Now most of us are homeless. I took this diary with me as we went down to the seller. And I found out not everyone survived. That girl Asia, her mom and dad both got swept away in the storm. I feel so bad. Our house was the only house for a block or two with a seller. A lot of people came to our house and got into the seller with us. Everything is gone. The tornado was unexpected.
