I recently attended a workshop called 'The Basics of Photography' at ERDC . One assignment during the workshop was to take some photographs that told a story. That is, the photographs were not supposed to be just beautiful and artistic, but had to represent an idea or perspective. They could be a series of photographs that showed progress/ development, or just one picture, and at the end of the workshop, we had to present and explain it.

Here's a story I wrote a few days ago in response to a topic given in an AS level English Language past paper that I was solving. I think it has been quite a while since I wrote any stories - I've been more into writing articles lately - so the standard of this is perhaps not as good as it should be.

In your writing, create a sense of this person’s mood and how it changes through the story.
