Hello! Per the Academic Honesty Policy, no tutor can write your short story for you. However, I hope this helps.
Definitions:

Looming – verb; appearing as a threatening form; something threatening is going to happen
Extradite – verb; hand someone who committed a crime over to the jurisdiction (place) so they face trial

Tips:
I suggest taking these terms and using them to decide what type of genre you want to write. Personally, I feel a crime drama would suit these terms. It is completely up to you, though. Write about whichever topic interests you. Then, focus on which are nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives. This will help you know whether the words will describe your character’s behavior or actions.
Remember that stories can be as silly or as serious as you want. Go with your interests! As long as the words are used correctly, given the definitions provided, let your imagination fly.
I hope this helps, and good luck with your course!
