Rules of the challenge: select a story, poem, author or theme that appeals to you and is in the public domain – meaning, there is no longer any copyright on the work involved.
Develop a story or poem derived from the work or the author chosen.
The range of possibilities for this are manifold. You can rework the ending of the story, write an entirely new text based on a minor character, change the setting and time frame of the story, change the genders of the characters, write a modern version of the story, and so on. One thing that is essential is the story MUST be based on the text that is in the public domain, NOT on a film or television version. It is up to you to make sure you are following or referring to the text in the public domain.
