"Damaged Goods" Explanation

I'd just like to explain to you guys the story of my Damaged Goods story...

It was given to me as a writing task. I was given the setting, two character names to use (Howard and Angela) a title and a theme. The theme was greed, which, if you've read the story, you'll know isn't really mentioned. But whatever.

I had to write it in one week. But that's really plenty of time, no big deal.

Chapter two, Howie's part, was also a school-based thing. We were given 40 minutes to write a piece of creative writing - there was a theme or central idea that was supposed to be used, but I don't remember what that was.

So my favourite story; my two great chapters, weren't really an original idea I had. I had a small idea, and I made it fit the criteria, but if I had written them of my own accord they would have been extremely different.

Just thought I'd tell ya'll. :)
