Emotional Intelligence Introduction What am I going to do when I learn that a classmate has basically stolen my story idea and is winning a contest using my story? What should I do if I discover that a classmate had used the plot and theme of a story I wrote a few months ago, and simply changed the names of my original characters and changed the place in which my story was set?

The ice storm that followed the blizzard literally froze the doors and window shut, and Emma could not even go out to fetch more firewood. Her husband Nolan had gone mountain climbing in late fall and had never returned. He was actually wounded from a gunshot, and an old mountain hermit had found him bleeding and had taken him to a little hunting cabin where Nolan was healing.
