I Thought I Told You Not To Kill Anybody? Part 2

          As a heads up, I am going to start this post off at the end of the story. Than I will bounce back to where I left off at the end of the last post. I think it will make the story funnier this way and add creativity to it. So at this point in the story I have just made it back to my apartment after doing the presentation. I walked into my apartment to find my roommate Brian and my friend Brittany hanging out on the couch watching TV. Brian knew about my presentation that day and the rule that my teacher had about killing characters. Seeing me laughing to myself as I walked in he asked "How many characters did you kill off?". With a smile I looked at him and said "ALL OF THEM".  He started cracking up and we pounded fists together. As I took off my jacket I said "You know, I didn't even know it was possible to be sent to a teachers office in college". "Oh my God Chris" said Brittany "What did you do?".
          Now I'm going to bounce back to where I left off so you can all know what I did. So as I said in the last post, I needed to explain some things to the class before giving away my plot. I explained that my main character was an individual that gained the ability to see ghosts after witnessing the death of his parents and sister. However, I made the argument that because their deaths didn't take place during the actual story line, I didn't kill any characters in the script. After explaining the rest of the plot, I told the class how the main character will fail to save his girl friend. First she is killed by the bad guys, than the man commits suicide to be with her. I made sure to point out that even though they died, I would allow them to live on as spirits. So this means I shouldn't be breaking the rules, since our teachers definition of death is when a character is wiped from the story.
          After I was done talking, my friend Mike said "There is a loophole to every rule and Chris just found it". The class gave me their mixed responses as the teacher sat quietly staring at me. Finally, he said to me "Chris, come speak to me after class". "Wow" I thought "I haven't heard those words since high school". When the class was over, my teacher said that he wanted to speak to me in his office. His complaint was that not only did I kill off a character, I killed off every single one that I mentioned in the presentation. So we sat down and had a nice little chat about how I could change up the story so that nobody dies. I am currently working on this script for my final.
