Q Now it is time to show both your creativity and your newly learned expertise about creative nonfiction. • Create a brief, original story about a true, nonfiction, out of the ordinary experience and use a creative format to convey it to your audience. Think about “The Man on the Tracks,” and how that author took a shocking experience and wrote a creative piece to express the tale. • This experience does not have to have a supernatural connection, but if you have a paranormal tale to tell, then feel free to use it. • Peer Response: Respond to at least two of your peers and reflect on their effectiveness in being creative and in relaying their tale. What details are present on which they could have expanded? What aspects of the story really worked? Do you have any further questions about the incident?

August 2008, I joined the United States Army because I wanted to do something different rather go to school and work which is what I was doing prior to enlisting. Upon training and graduation, I was stationed in Oklahoma as a young 22 year old Private First Class. I left my friends and family in hopes of doing something I have never done before such as travel the world or even sacrifice my life overseas in Iraq or Afghanistan. I didn’t know what to expect or what life event would take place first.
