As an annual Creative Writing 1 tradition at Western Wayne High School in Mrs. Amanda Jenkins’s class, student writers in the elective course competed to give Mrs. Jessica Fullwood’s readers in Multicultural Literature a “strange” thrill by composing a 100-word saga.
This year’s winners were all members of the freshman class! Honorable mention went to Ayden Warner’s “The School” and Tori Dougherty’s “Piercing Eyes.”
Audrey Fitzmorris took the first place “boo-bucket” prize for her eerie saga “Lucky Blood.”
Writers in the course have opted to submit their sagas to a national level competition via the 2025 Young Writers “Stranger Saga” contest with a chance to be accepted for publication.
Winners (pictured left to right): Tori Dougherty, Audrey Fitzmorris, and Ayden Warner.
