Bonnie and Clyde

Adrian — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:32:29 +0000

I wrote this short story when I got a homework request for something biographical. It was inspired by a BBC 2 Timewatch programme I watched about Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Admittedly both were killers, but anyone’s death, especially in violent circumstances, is poignant, so I tried to make this an emotive piece. . . . → Read More: Bonnie and Clyde

Recently in my creative writing class we carried out an exercise, adding to the beginning or end of a fragment of text we’d been given by our tutor. I was excited by the start of the story and piggybacked my text on to it.
