Story #6: 1-4 page surreal story. Read Fernando Sorrentino’s “There’s a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella”and Woody Allen’s “The Kugelmass Episode” in handout and write a story takes a ridiculous premise and treats it “straight,” as if it were perfectly normal, or at least follows out what happens when this strange thing starts happening. Take any wacky premise that appeals to you (I shrunk Godzilla and keep him in a fish tank under my bed; my girlfriend turns into a giant python at night; my fingers and toes are starting to rot and fall off; whatever) and run with it. Hopefully it will take you to a surprising place!
