1. Equivocate

2. Esoteric

3. Euphemism

4. Fait accompli

5. Fastidious

6. COVID

7. Gym

8. Balloons

Answer 1

Hi Tristyn! The story ultimately needs to come from you, but I can make some suggestions.

First off, there's COVID, which is a big story element on its own. Think about your own experience living with COVID and stories you've heard from other people about the pandemic. People can't go to the gym or parties with balloons like they used to. Sometimes people will speak in euphemisms to describe the effects of the virus. There's a lot that can be done with each word regarding this topic.

You could also use COVID as just a backdrop for the story, focusing on one character and their own life in this world.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hi Tristyn G.,

Though I can not write a short story for you, I hope the info below helps you out.

First identify your central conflict for the story

Secondly identify the beginning and end to your story.

Thirdly write the definitions next to the key terms and see how they can work within sentences.

Fourth start typing away.

I have provided a link to a graphic organizer that might help.
