Hint fiction is the newest rave in the world of writing and literature. Hint fiction limits writers to a brief title and 25 words or less. The power of these words have to spark images and a much larger story. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors all tried their hand at creating hint fiction based on the given title: "Just One More Day."
“Just One More Day”
Freshmen Hint Fiction
One more day to fight. One more to live, to make it all worth while. To do everything he’s ever wanted. Before he’s gone. Alyssa
As he looks down from the sky, he sees a city on fire. Holes in the ground from the bombs. If he had one more day. Angelo
There was just one more day for you to live? Would you go skydiving or do something else dangerous? Would you tell as many people? Nole
As he sat there, feeling emptiness and sorrow, darkness came upon him. He saw sudden light while he walked through the street. Abby
One more day and I will be there. No more counting the days desperately waiting for it. I only wish it was one more minute. Sidney
I have one more day to go off and see my family before I am taken away for ever in quiet solitaire. Brandon
Lost in thought, staring at the boring, educational walls, wishing the horror go away, sitting blankly is the room, knowing there’s just one more day. Hailey
Knowing she was gone hit me harder than I thought. If I could change it all tonight I would do it in an instant. Juan G.
Just one more day until it started. The wait was almost over. He just wished it was today instead. Zach
Just one more day. To to show the world what he could give. Life was wrong, to give you everything and take it all away. Daniel
I stare up at the ceiling feeling pain. No one is there to stop it I hope for one more day. Spencer
Tomorrow will come sooner than they know it. The other families and them in tears,
knowing they should make their last day count. Rachael
Year after year the day came, but this year was more exciting than others, for now she could do much more. Brooke
“Just One More Day”
Junior Hint Fiction
What would be like if I didn’t have to sit here? 24 more hours to live. Scared out of my mind thinking about tomorrow. Gaby
He put his hat on a hot, sunny summer day. A party just for him. They said they don’t know, but they still can guess. Ben
I’m crying on the inside, wishing for one more day on the outside. Locked in this cell alone with no one else around me. Dylan
She watched as he lay sleeping on the hospital bed. His body lie fragile, lifeless, pale. His health had not changed. When would this end? Emma
He’s stuck in prison, in a nation of evil. He did something against the leader, sentenced to die but has no regrets. Jacob
Everything as its end, time passes. The bags were packed; it was time to go. Time to part from her, days with her were over. Ana
All the hairs have abandoned my body, this disease has taken all my strength. Hearing comforting words, I only want life... Clara
He waited, watching from afar. She was everything. She was life. It drove him insane. He plotted for tomorrow. Now…wait. Christi
She carried this baby for nine months.She decided to drive to the store to find out it was an unfortunate day. Jessica
She went to the doctor. Tears fell as she told her kids. Her husband was the last she told as she kissed him good-bye. Trisha
I wonder if this chain wasn't on my ankle and if the other end wasn't hooked to the wall if I would be free. Storm
It was an elegant, gorgeous luminescence. She felt the urge to draw near, yearning closure, left with no option, she consigned to the past, abandoned her life. Brooke
She screams and yells and lectures and talks. He listens with no interest and begins writing. He delivers it she stops and smiles and laughs. Billy
He picked up the gun. Why was it out again? In the next instant she walked in and started yelling. Melina

A girl stares at the hole in the earth thinking, hoping this day weren’t real. That the whole thing was just a bad dream. Amber
