Introduction to Hidden Kittens - "A skeleton"

One of my favorite writing assignments, about mid-quarter, was the “skeleton writing.” Our instructor would give us a list of phrases, sentences, or quotes that were only the barest of outlines for a story; hence the skeleton. The skeleton piece I chose to share with you is called “Hidden Kittens.” These were the supplied phrases; look for them in my story:
“I never told anyone.”
“Oh yeah? Then who did?”
“How should I know?”
“Shut up! Someone’s coming.”
“It’s not my problem.”
“You’re gonna be sorry.”

Everyone who did this assignment wrote different stories, based solely on their own imagination. This story is loosely based on my own childhood, my brothers names are Steve and Rob and my sister’s name was Debbie. This is only a snippet of a potential story, but in spite of being brief it tells a story of childhood, and the inter-dynamics of siblings. “Steve, the oldest, looked accusingly at his younger brother, Rob. Quick to his own defense, Rob whispered, “I never told anyone.” Debbie seemed to know right where they were hidden . . .” I chose this piece because it shows that I am able to fill out an outline, use descriptive language, and tell a story in a narrative style.
