The following is an exercise I worked on for my advanced fiction class spring semester 2015. We had to tell a story in an unorthodox, non-linear way, since stories usually are intensely linear and follow a distinct storytelling pattern. I chose to create a playlist using existing songs to tell the story, placing all the emphasis on the song titles as opposed to song meanings or real intentions. Ever since I discovered music and the capability of creating playlists, I've essentially captured stories and emotions with them, as I'm sure many other music fanatics have. It was only fitting to submit this as an exercise.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Ta~!
