Process Notes 1 (Writing Exercise)

Initially, my approach for the story was that a person named Danielle gets into a tiny mishap where her yarn ball (which she was using to crochet a teddy bear) rolls to the street in front of AS and she happens to meet a kid asking for food; hence the title "'Cos Sharing Meals is Something I Wish the World Can Do". I wanted to write a story of light subject matter, but I guess due to the various imaginations of my classmates who altered my story, I ended up writing about death.

Funny how different perspectives of a story at first glance can literally change a story of light themes to (morbid, probably?) ones. I expected that my classmates would follow my trail of thought due to the simplicity of my plot, but I guess they just wanted to put some thrill to it. But If I think about it more, this would be a cool start-off point to write more stories; something like sewing different patches of cloth to make a different kind of shirt, probably.
