Over 25 students gathered for the latest meeting of the Writers’ Guild, hosted by senior Rafi Taubenfeld and junior Bezalel Graber. Carlos and Gabby’s food took stage as an evening of creative writing, discussion, and lively storytelling filled the air. The featured prompt, “An Alien Perspective,” challenged students to imagine the arrival of aliens on Earth and to write the experience entirely from their point of view.
The results were imaginative, sharp, and often surprising. Writers explored how outsiders might interpret human behavior, culture, and contradictions, producing stories that ranged from thoughtful and humorous to pointedly satirical. One of the evening’s highlights was a standout piece by Judge Ronald which sparked discussion and set a high bar for the night’s submissions.
Also significant attention were the intentionally provocative “rage bait” stories by junior Gavriel Ovits and senior Avi Lax, which generated strong reactions and thoughtful debate among the group. As well as plenty of rage. Momentum is already building for the next prompt, “The Traveler,” which has begun creating buzz even before pens hit paper.
In addition, the Guild is excited to announce that the “Edgar Allan Prose” will be published soon, marking another milestone for the group’s growing body of work. With strong attendance, energetic discussion, and ambitious writing, the Writers’ Guild continues to establish itself as a creative hub for student voices.
