2012 FPS Scenario Writing Competition

Eight seventh and eighth grade students chose to enter the
scenario writing contest, another component of FPS where
they each wrote a 1500-word science fiction narrative related
to any of the topics from this year. Birchwood took the first,
second, and third place in this intermediate category. Vinny
K earned first place for “The Last Stand” about an Indian
rebel in a prison camp who was incarcerated for exposing
highly technological advancement that posed grave risks to
the Indian society. In second place was “Not a Mere Number,”
Naomi’s exploration about human rights from the standpoint
of a clone in servitude to her mistress. Katelyn’s “Twinkle
Twinkle” was third place, set after a Nuclear World War where
a Lower citizen, imprisoned in an underground workstation,
escaped the Uppers. Although the other scenario entries did
not place in the top five, they all received high ranks from the
state evaluators.
