Now that you've chosen a song with a story, your next task is to adapt that song into a short story in no more than 500 words.
Adaptation - noun 1. to make fit (as for a specific or new use or situation) often by modification 2. something that is adapted; specifically : a composition rewritten into a new form
Remember: you don't have to use everything in the song. Find that one thing that interests you in the story. Feel free to change any of the five elements to make the story yours. Find the balance between remaining true to the source material and making it your own.
