- The story, The Ghost and the Traveler, doesn't have a lot of action. It's basically just saying that a man was out of doors, and something came up that forced him to spend the night outside. He came to a sweat lodge, but he thought the two people inside were ghosts, so he ran away. As he was walking, a woman ghost walked with him for a ways. After wondering what would happen if the ghost decided to hurt him, the ghost disappeared.
- I would want to do a variation on this story that has an action component, some sort of circumstance that the traveler must overcome. There needs to be action and a climax to that action.
- Perhaps the traveler could be lost and alone when he comes to a sweat lodge and he runs away because he thinks the men inside are ghosts. However, they are not. As he's walking, someone starts walking with him that he thinks is a person. As night begins to fall, his traveling companion is revealed to be a ghost. The ghost attacks him. He is saved by the two men from the sweat lodge who had followed him when they saw he was being trailed by a ghost.
