January 15 homework!

A short story, no more than 2000 words in length for the NAWG competition, Included somewhere, within the story, the phrase: "Maria found the body in the barrel". Or you can do a story, poem, haiku, any genre, no more than 1000 words on the theme of time. If you're really keen you can do both :) During the January meeting Helen set the activity of writing on a small piece of paper what we'd like to achieve this year, then we placed these in an envelope to open at the December meeting. If you'd like to also do one, please bring it along to the next meeting and Helen/Nell wil keep them until December :)
