Short Narrative

So I just figured an idea would come to me for this assignment. At first I was feeling poor for some reason, and out of luck...so I thought of doing a story of a peasent framed for murder after a string of bad luck. Then I played some soccer and thought of doing a story of a 3rd World citizen gaining riches through soccer. Neither of these stories seemed very creative or interesting. For some odd reason I thought of that scene in Kill Bill when Uma Thurman wakes up in a hospital bed and slices that rapist's achilles tenden. I think this is how I'm going to start my story, with a character waking up and coming to his senses...and then go from there. I want a kind of mysterious tone, something to make the story at least interesting. We'll see where it takes me and what kind of plot develops.
