. There once were three scary, little animals. There was a monster, a troll, and a frog. They went around scaring people and they screamed. Then one day, a good fairy came when they were asleep. She tapped each of their faces three times until they had no faces at all. Now they have a different name. They used to be called Scares but now they’re called Non-Faces. Then magic happened. They had a dream that the fairy gave their faces back to them.
. When they woke up they had their faces again. After that they learned a lesson and they never scared another person.
THE END
[During this writing assignment, I was developing my imagination and creativity. I think this was really the first time I was able to really ignite the spark of creativity and run with it. This short story really improved my ability to express all the crazy ideas brewing in my mind. I remember how in awe I was of what I had written. I could hardly believe it came from me. It probably seems a little silly to you that I found it to be so impressive, unless you have recently been writing with a 2nd grader. To me though, it was an inspiration within. This was really the start of my writing interest, the first time I felt I was a good writer. I am sure if I had never had this one little paper handed to me, I would not be nearly as good of a writer as I am now.]

Wow, totally creative!
Great imagination !!!
great even then, you had subject, details and summary in one short paragraph.
From my friend Viji:
Creative writing at its best for a second grader.
In appriciation mode: GREAT STORY! I love short stories, and this is a great one! Come to my Creative Writing Club, re-write it, and publish it in our anthology! It's amazing-- and much better than a lot of short stories I have seen, even if the sentence contruct is a little weird at places!
In editing mode: Your last sentence in the analysis paragraph is a mighty long run-on, might want to hack it into three smaller sentences before it runs away.
Well, I HAVE recently been writing with a second grader and your story is very creative for that age. I find it difficult to drag stories out of my youngest child, which is a challenge for me because my older daughter has a vivid imagination and loves to write. Just goes to show how different we all are. :~)
I've enjoyed reading your stories. Best of Luck,
