Prompt for 11/6

This is a double-credit situation --> normal blog + quiz grade.

Your assignment, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to write a short story. Before you get too excited, let me ruin it for you. You must write at least 500 words but no more than 1000 words. You must also include the term or an example of the term for 100 of your vocabulary words from your list. Please bold them in the story and be able to identify what they are. (If I can't tell, I'll take down the post for you to redo).

You may write the story about one of three scenarios:

1. Classic detective story a la The Maltese Falcon. If you haven't seen that movie, drop everything you're doing and watch it already. There should be at least one murder and some cool treasure.
2. Science fiction. You and your crew are stranded on an unknown planet when over the horizon comes....
3. Coming-of-age story: you're an adult spy, but it's your first day of high school. How will you fit in?
