- Shakira Williamson shares her story entitled "Just This One Time."
Nine out of the thirteen selected students flocked to the podium to tell their twisted tales of terror. The session began with the distribution of treats that the creative writing students and Smith provided. The first story, titled “A Place to Die,” was written and told by Freshman Samantha Nance (see video). The story was about suicide and contained a lot of gore. It was filled with vivid details and wonderful imagination. Junior Savannah Kimbrough shared her story "The Taxidermist" (see video), a new take on "stranger danger."
“The Curve,” written and told by Freshman Andie McKinnon, told of a horrible creature with fangs and goat's feet. The creature resembled a fawn, a dark creature associated with the devil. When asked what his favorite story was, Caleb Hall, a senior in Terry's class, said that, “I really enjoyed Samantha Nance's story 'A Place to Die.' It was nice and well put together.” Erin Freeman, the writer of “Goodbye Little Sister,” said, “It was fun to write and tell these stories.”
Smith plans to make the Scary Story Showcase an annual event.
