Eleven Months

Created as part of the narrative coursework for Glasgow Caledonian University.

Created by Rafal Smietana.

Eleven Months has been created as part of the assignment that had us write a story revolving around Hero's Journey. I decided to put a little twist on mine. Instead of starting at the beginning of the story, why not start at the end? Just when the protagonist approaches the end. Just when they are about to face their adversary. Just when they're about to complete their journey, exact revenge and go back home... something goes wrong. 

All of a sudden, they are back home... 11 months in the past. Armed with prior knowledge of the event, protagonist sets out to correct their mistakes and try again. But things don't exactly go as planned. Small changes create a butterfly effect that change the course of history. And when the protagonist inevitably fails at the end... they go back once more. Stuck in a loop, they are forced to live through eleven months of their life, over and over again, and hope to one day break free...
