Harris Burdick Mysteries

The following pictures were all left behind with one caption, all like pieces of different puzzles waiting to be solved. They were left by the fictitious Harris Burdick, who vanished without a trace. Review all 14 pictures and the short descriptions that go with along with them. Your assignment is to write down a few ideas on what kind of a short story you could write based on each picture.

Start with a blank piece of lined paper, and write Mystery #1 - The House on Maple Street. Jot down a few ideas - what would the story be about in one or two sentences? Don't spend too much time on each one - you have 14 of them to do!

This is to be handed in! Make sure it's legible!
