You have the opportunity to revise your current reality and design your desired alternative reality. You can shape your path to a world filled with new opportunities. However, this is not just a fantasy—it’s a detailed, analytical story of your imagined world. Some important questions to consider are: What is different in this universe? Were you born in a different part of the world? Are laws and policies the same or different? What controls society? It’s important to consider how these changes would transform your life. For example, would your family dynamics or career evolve, and if so, in what manner?

The task involves writing a 6-8 page narrative story that explores a lifetime in your alternate life. This should be a detailed description with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Consider how you start your day, your morning routine, possible inconveniences, who your circle of people is, who you talk to, what you see around you, and what emotions you feel throughout the day.

In addition to the narrative, you must include some form of multimedia, such as a video, an AI-generated image, a trailer, voice memos, or similar content.

Finally, include a reflection paragraph of approximately 300-400 words explaining what your alternate version reveals about who you are as a person. What dreams or fears does it expose? Is there anything you wish to incorporate into your own life?

This assignment requires creative thinking, strong writing, and multimedia skills. You will be designing an entire world that makes sense to you as the creator. It’s a deep and detailed narrative that explores identity and reality, pushing the boundaries of your imagination. The multimedia component—such as a fantasy map—allows you to create a visual piece of art that connects to the narrative, further enriching the experience.
