English I (Pre-AP): Timed Writing / Forgiveness

If you missed class today, you missed an opportunity to participate in an End of Course-style timed writing. In approximately 45 minutes (and 26 lines) please respond to the following prompt:

Write a story about the power of forgiveness. Be sure that your story is focused and complete and that it has an interesting plot and engaging characters.

At the end of the story please answer the following question: Besides the word "story" in the prompt, what are 2 other clues that you should not respond with an expository essay? (Bullet points are fine.)
