Olivia Ford (junior), Melinda Kopcza (senior), and Laylah Epstein (sophomore).
In the month of October, students in the inaugural Creative Writing elective at Western Wayne High School were challenged with the task of composing a 100-word or less mini saga with the purpose of evoking suspense and intrigue. While students had the option to submit their sagas to a national level competition via the Young Writers 2023 “SOS Saga: Hunted” contest, their pieces were entered in to the class contest evaluated by a variety staff and students.
Runners up were Olivia Ford’s “Inner Demons” and Laylah Epstein’s “The Wake.”
The first place “boo-basket” prize was awarded to Melinda Kopcza for her thrilling saga, “Mama’s Boy.”
