Option One - Story Time (Worth 30 points)

In 1946, after WW II, a young Englishwoman named Claire Beauchamp Randall goes to the Scottish Highlands with her husband, Frank. She’s an ex-combat nurse, he’s been in the army as well, they’ve been separated for the last six years, and this is a second honeymoon; they’re getting re-acquainted with each other, thinking of starting a family. But one day Claire goes out walking by herself, and comes across a circle of standing stones—such circles are in fact common all over northern Britain. She walks through a cleft stone in the circle….and disappears. Back into 1743, where the first person she meets is a gentleman in an 18th-century army officer’s uniform. This gentleman, Jack Randall, looks just like her husband Frank—and proves to be Frank’s six-times-great-grandfather. Unfortunately, he also proves to be a sadistic man, and while trying to escape from him, Claire falls into the hands of a gang of Highland Scots, who are also trying to get away from Black Jack Randall—though for other reasons.

In order to avoid being handed over to Captain Randall, Claire is obliged to marry one of the young clansmen. So she finds herself trying to escape from Castle Leoch and her Scottish captors, trying to get back to her husband Frank and trying to avoid being recaptured by Captain Randall.

Now this is where you come into the story. You have just stumbled upon Claire while she is running through the woods. She has just escaped from her Scottish captors. and is trying to make her way back to the circle of Standing Stones. Her clothes are torn, she has multiple cuts and scrapes. She is sweating yet cold. The trip will take two days on foot to get back to the standing stones. Using the knowledge you have obtained from this class, help Claire get back to the stones. (Some things to think about.... are there any remedies you can find while out in the woods? How do you make a fire? How do you avoid being captured? Who are you? Describe your character.... are you a white lady? - These are all just ideas to get your imagination flowing) Please no less than 300 words (although I won't necessarily be counting words. I just want to see some effort put into this story. Also, if you can use references from the previous lessons, even better!
