(Synopsis
of your story here –2-3 short para, double-spaced)
Alex
is a detective that is on the verge of losing his job. He is a carefree guy who
cares about nothing but solving cases. He has a secret, and that is, he turn’s
into a cheetah when he is drunk. This was also the only time he can show his
full potential in solving the cases. He shows his bimbo character and this was
also the reason why everyone was giving him pressure in solving the case.
2
months ago, Sam, a 20-year-old woman had come to him for help. Apparently, she
had been sensing someone watching her in the shadows and it had gone on for a
few days. Panicking, she had come to Alex for help because he was the only one
in the office at that time.
2
months later, with no lead, Sam went missing and all that was left was a hand
phone and a piece of letter saying: “If you want the girl, find me if you can.”
It was a letter addressed to Alex. He had to solve this case in order to get
Sam back, as well as keep the job and find out who had sent him this letter.

REFLECTION PAPER
(a reflection
is a write-up on how you derived your own story concept and idea(s) from research
& brainstorm done – 2 to 3 para, double spaced)
I
thought of this story because I had recently read a storybook with a mystery
genre. The plot intrigued me and I thought it would be interesting if the
readers could feel the mood and tension of being followed by the stalker,
through the book.
The
reason I came up with the idea of the main character’s ability when he is
drunk, is because, I thought it would be interesting to be able to see a “split
personality” in the character, so as to spice up the story, as well as to give
a interesting twist to the story.
