Author's Chapter Notes:

This is how I planned my first story and continue to plan my Antopia chapters and all other future stories. As you can see I create three sections: Introduction, Body and Conclusion.  

The introduction sets up the story, the body is where the action of the story happens and the conclusion is where the story wraps up or resolves the conflict. 

I then try to classify my ideas under these headings 

It results in a really nice flowing story structure 

It’s Just a Bug



Characters:

• 21-year Emma Walkins- 3rd year university undergraduate 

• 24-year Justin Lions- Emma’s Boyfriend and recent graduate 

• 18-year-old Oliva Walkin- Emma’s dim-witted and rebellious dropkick sister 

• 52-year-old Jack Walkins- Father of Emma and Oliva 

Third person perspective  



Introduction:

  • ·      Father is a warehouse manager drunk and passed out on the couch unaware of what is happening around them
  • ·      Emma and Justin are working on shrink-ray technology for a university physics matter invention project and competition
  • ·      First, they test on intimate objects such as tables and chairs and initial tests are successful
  • ·       Then Emma accidentally leans on the knob causing the size dimensions to be significantly reduced and then flicks the switch causing the shrink ray to fire and hit Justin
  • ·      Justin is hit causing him to be shrunk to a few millimetres
  • ·      Emma panics because they did not build the device with a reversal process so they don’t know how to reverse it
  • ·      Emma quickly runs out to gather some physics knowledge material to find out how to reverse the process



Body:

  • ·       Around the same time Oliva arrives home from schoolies and calls for her sister but hears no response
  • ·       Meanwhile Justin is left on the floor of Emma’s room. While he is there, he spots a juvenile ant scavenging for crumbs. Hesitant and cautious he hides behind one of the bed legs.
  • ·       Nosy Oliva walks into her sister’s room barefoot, the ground shaking with each step
  • ·       Oliva begins looking around and starts snooping around her sister’s belongings
  • ·       Out of the corner of her eye however she spots the juvenile ant crawling near her feet
  • ·       Oliva hates bugs and thinks they are filthy disgusting creatures that irritate humans
  • ·       Unlike most other girls that would stomp and crush bugs on site instantly Oliva is a more sadistic and cruel who enjoys to play and torture insects before she kills them   
  • ·        Oliva smirks and begins to tap her toes around the ant and pretends to near miss and hover her foot over the ant to make it suffer
  • ·       After 2 minutes of this however she gets bored and crushes the ant under her big toe
  • ·       Justin is watching all of this and is horrified
  • ·       Unfortunately for him Justin is standing a bit too close to the light and Oliva spots him under the bed and thinks he is a bug as well
  • ·       Oliva crouches under the bed and Justin gets a glimpse of her giant hands and giant head grinning evilly
  • ·       Justin tries to get away from her from going deeper under the bed. However unfortunately for him, Emma’s bed has wheels so Oliva simply wheels the bed leaving him completely exposed at her mercy



Conclusion   

  • ·       Oliva’s bare feet stomp on either side of him leaving him terrified
  • ·       Oliva first chooses to humiliate this bug a spitting a glob of saliva on Justin leaving him completely soaked and almost drowned
  • ·       Surprised that Justin has survived Oliva then chooses to part her big and second toes apart and pick him with her toes and raise him off the ground
  • ·       Justin screams in pain as she is squeezing her toes and many of his bones break and bloody gashes appear
  • ·       She then releases her toe grip and he falls to the ground, breaking even more bones
  • ·       On the verge of death Justin looks up to see Oliva giggling and then raising her foot and his vision is covered by the ball of her foot  
  • ·       Justin is finally crushed under the ball of her foot becoming a red splatter
  • ·       Just after he dies Emma comes back annoyed and asks Oliva what she is doing in her room
  • ·       Oliva cheekily tells her about the bugs she just crushed under her feet much to Emma’s horror
  • ·       Emma starts screaming hysterically realising Justin has just been crushed, being mistaken for an insect
